A Fast Gallery
Nokia Image Exchange is a fast standalone image gallery for a large variety of Nokia S60 devices. Browse images on a timeline, mark your favorite shots and skim through your images quickly in a grid. On supported devices, images also automatically rotate to the orientation of your screen.
Tight Service Integration
If network use is enabled, Nokia Image Exchange client automatically creates a private service account as part of the registration process. Images can be selectively uploadeded to the service, or the client can take care of backing up your collection to the service for you.
Images can be published and shared to your friends instantly. Your phonebook contacts that are also Nokia Image Exchange users are automatically recognized and thus there is no need to keep a separate contact list for the service.
Website for viewing images on a PC
Web interface allows you not only to browse your and other users' images but to upload new ones. Uploaded images are automatically transferred to your mobile as well.
As all your images are stored on your Web account, you are free to download them to your PC, Mac or Linux via the Web site.
When connected, Nokia Image Exchange generates data traffic between the mobile phone and the service. The traffic costs depend on your network operator and data plan.
Nokia Image Exchange Lite for S40 brings image back-ups and sharing to a larger variety of devices and makes it simple to transfer your images to be viewed on a PC. Unlike the S60 version, it is not meant as a gallery application.
Similarly as with the S60 version, Nokia Image Exchange Lite also allows you to share and publish your images as well as follow the images that your friends have shared to you.
Nokia Image Exchange Lite is a Java client that can be installed to a wider set of phone models than Nokia Image Exchange for S60. It offers a functionality for image sharing including selective uploading of images, publishing and sharing photos to friends and viewing photos that are shared to you. The Lite version is not mainly an imaging browser like Nokia Image Exchange for S60.
Nokia Image Exchange Lite relies on data connections to transfer your images to server and to receive images shared to you. However, it does not upload images automatically and is thus more suitable to be used without a flat-fee data plan or WiFi than S60 version.
Nokia Image Exchange is developed by Nokia Research Center.
