Take a picture on your camera phone and if you like it you can have it sent to (almost) any address in Europe. It doesn’t stop at pictures either, you can get a mug, shirt, pillow cases and other “fun items.” Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo was not kidding when he said he wanted to make Nokia known not only for their devices, but also their services.
Prices don’t appear to be too bad either, a 9×12 cm print is 16 cents with shipping roughly $3.40 (prices converted from British currency).
Full press release after the jump.
People can now order prints directly from their compatible Nokia Nseries device
Espoo, Finland – Nokia launches a fully integrated mobile printing service in Europe*. The new Nokia service enables people to order high-quality prints easily and directly from the device, over cellular** or wireless LAN (WLAN) networks, and have them delivered to your home or to a friend.
“Remember when you had to drag yourself to the store to have your film developed?” asks Mikko Pilkama, director, Multimedia, Nokia. “Now you can order prints directly from your Nokia Nseries device, and have them delivered to your doorstep – hassle-free!”
Users of compatible Nokia Nseries multimedia computers now only need one device to capture images, edit them and order prints. You can also have your favorite images printed on stickers or gift items like mugs, jigsaw puzzles and T-shirts, and have them delivered to a friend.
The mobile printing service is accessible from the device’s Gallery application. Simply select the images to be printed, insert address and other requested information, and press ‘Order now’. The order is then processed by CeWe Color and prints are delivered to the entered address.
Payment methods commonly include credit card as well as other possible local payment solutions depending on the country. In order to familiarize people with the service, each new user can order their first ten prints free of charge**.
Owners of compatible Nokia Nseries multimedia computers can download the necessary Nokia XpressPrint application for free directly from the Download! application on their device** or from www.nseries.com/orderprints. The Nokia mobile printing service is available now and covers most of Europe*.
