Written by: Mika Hokkanen, Design Engineer, Nokia Photo Browser team

Hello from Nokia Photo Browser team,

The Nokia Photo Browser is photo browsing application as name suggest. It's designed to be easy to use application, when ever you want quickly browse through your images. User interface is designed to give fast access to all you images. Photo browsing should be fun! That is why Photo Browser introduces new ways to do photo viewing like; "Face browsing" which uses face detection technology to find people faces from pictures and just by finger flick you can browse people faces in image. Other cool feature is "MagGlass" magnifier, which makes image zooming to feel and look more real and analog.


Play from YouTube


Nokia Photo Browser is still prototype application and it has some limitations. We are developing new features and improving the usability continuously. If you have Nokia S60 5.0 phone with touch screen like Nokia XpressMusic 5800, give us feed back how we can further develop Photo Browser application. If you don't have touch screen device yet, wait for a moment. We will release Photo Browser also for Series 60 3.x products soon.

Download now Nokia Photo Browser now and try it's features and give us feedback!

On behalf of Nokia Photo Browser developers,

- Mika

Can anyone tell how Image Exchange & Photo Browser are going to coexist?
I see that right now you can not have both on same device. But is it not good if all good things can be combined in one app?

i like this app a lot!!!

i don't know, if it's possible, but i would like to be able to turn my phone to the right to, when i'm watching my photos. sometimes it's just very comfortable to turn it to all directions...

Amazing software, very nice animations. My only problem is that when I want to see a picture..well...it has terrible quality. Cool browser until you open an image. I hope this issue will be fixed!

amazing application; on my 5800 XM works fine

Very impressive indeed! Makes browsing pics a lot more fun, although real utility is limited (but that hardly matters for the regular Joe, as we have all come to know... ).

1) Its a col and awesome app from Nokia..and its making 5800 owners like us - happy

But it got little bug .....whenever try to change image (in full screen) it lags......

And I'm sure beta labs will fix this issue .....
And I would like to see some options like; image delete option,image edit option and exit option .....

THANKS NOKIA FOR THIS AWESOME APPLICATION.

Nice application... I was expecting something like this and was pleasantly surprised when I found this.

I have subscribed to MyNokia.. Still I get all these updates and new software information from some random websites than Nokia itself. I hope you send a newsletter informing customers of enhancements and new application on the phone. Right now just double tap makes it zoom.. I would like functionality to further zoom inside it

I love the aplication. But for most ppl with big galeries the "see all pictures at once" is inapropriate.
We need:

- browsing by folders
- an UI
- thumbnail generation by user choice (OFF/LowRes/Normal)
- doubleclick zoom(1x/2x/Normal) - in options

Submitted by on 26-04-2009 13:23.

Great application, I love it.
I tried it on my nokia 5800 and it works fine, I hope you can still improve it a little, I think that if you develop the 3D graphics speed and face recognition some more, this application will be a masterpiece,

I must agree with reply no 62, some extra options like editing and so on would be nice, so as the image scroller speed and smoothness that isn't perfect yet.

I would love to see all this in the full version, I hope you can pull it off.

Keep up with the great job, you're the best.

i got n96 and have aprox 600 pics its not loads the pictures its too too slow!

Submitted by on 31-03-2009 09:16.

Very beautiful gallery browser.
I hope this application will replace default gallery browsing in 5th edition.
It's only a little bit slow to load thumbnails and there isn't possibility to set anything such the size and the quality of thumbnails or the browsing folder. And a virtual button for exit the application ( not red standard button.)
But for a beta is very beautiful.

On se hieno!

Submitted by on 31-03-2009 07:54.

Gotta say, lovin it so far. I wish Nokia would incorporate stuff like this into the standard default S60 gallery.

Submitted by on 31-03-2009 14:36.

sorry, the application is not for 5800. there is any way to install because showing this error: expired certificate. I am wonder how nokia don't know about the phone it has produced.

Submitted by on 31-03-2009 14:04.

WOWWOW... that's cooool really. Little slow loading thinbs from hundreds pic but very well done. Do not change red button to exit, keep it full screen. I have the pics in 12 different folder ( virtual one created on my 5800) I can't see them with this browser. could be cool to could choice if to see all the images or by folder.
GOOD JOB

very cool program! Nokia you are doing good with nokia 5800 and all the apps&software. your updates are also good on time and they are full with evereything you need

Submitted by on 31-03-2009 11:26.

Betalabs rocks !!! great to see such product though I dont have 5th edition device as yet . :-)

Kudos to the team, for creating a simply beautiful application and getting it out!

Is it just me or is that picture wall very.... ermm.. Cooliris?

Way to go.

It is really nice, unless you have more than thousand photos on your phone and make this app hours to load. rotation is pretty kewl, rather than blanking out it shows animation of picture rotating. I wish to have such animation in phone native screen rotations. face detection, zoom lens are also cool. If there is some folder or categorization feature people like me, who have huge photo galleries will become happier.

Ordered my 5800 on Saturday, this will be one of the first apps I load onto it. Looks great!

Submitted by on 31-03-2009 21:48.

I try this app my 5800 working very well.but i think maybe some features add to seeing photos and need refresh new images button.

Submitted by on 01-04-2009 05:14.

cool...... same problem with the exiting..... i think the only way to exit is to press the menu button to close this app... and some of my wallpapers need quite a long time for loading to view.... hope there is improvement for it soon... btw.. i love my 5800

This application is fantastic. But it's slow when it's loading the images ... :)

Submitted by on 01-04-2009 04:49.

cool app ... but lil slow when loading thumbnails ... also how do i exit this app? i don't see any exit button. any comments?

Submitted by on 01-04-2009 07:38.

it's so cool....just it takes some time to load the photos...
just one suggestion...maybe can incorporate zooming with two fingers..just like iphone...ehehhe..this will be really a plus...
definitely can replace the original photo browser..
5800 xm...the best phone i've ever had.. :)

Submitted by on 01-04-2009 09:45.

i tried it on my nokia 5800.
very nice application, the only limit is that the image preview is very slow...
btw well done nokia!!!

Aaaah - the king is dead! Long live the New King!!! Guys, I am with all four hands up for a new imaging gallery for the S60. It was high time ;) Now I am eagerly waiting for the 3rd edition to try it, though ;-P

Submitted by on 01-04-2009 19:24.

once final, please include it in the following firmware update as the default photobrowser. this application OWNS. while sometimes generating the full size picture takes a bit of time.

Submitted by on 02-04-2009 11:36.

its a too cool app... hope fully it will come by default in the next fw update.. and yes it needs n exit button ... other then the hard exit by pressing red button..

Submitted by on 02-04-2009 15:46.

its Cool, . It work Ok

Submitted by on 03-04-2009 02:13.

Y cuando para los S60v3? Tengo un N73 y estoy arto del visor que trae, no se puede navegar por las fotos a causa de como las ordena (mezcla todo, es horrible!!!) y tambien porque se queda sin memoria...xD...

I love reading your blog. You seem like a natural in sharing your experiences. I am starting my blog as well, do you think only natural writers can have something to share?

Wow. this is great. viewing your photos keeps getting better and better

Submitted by on 14-04-2009 12:51.

Nice application but too slow on my E71 for normal usage...Image sharpening takes long seconds. Some image formats aren't supported and instead of grey thumbnails it would be better if those images wouldn't be displayed at all.

Submitted by on 16-04-2009 14:57.

very beautiful gallery browser

Submitted by on 17-04-2009 01:38.

great application. i hope Nokia would incorporate this to thier existing photo browser and i wish they could do it SOONER. probably another update for the 5800 XM? ver. 21, anyone?

Submitted by on 17-04-2009 01:41.

i forgot to add, incorporating the videos and an option to create albums would be VERY, VERY nice too. NOKIA plEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE make it happen now.

Submitted by on 17-04-2009 05:47.

Cool alternative. Although the app is a bit too slow in loading the images. Scrolling one by one isn't as smooth as the default Image Viewer(which although doesn't look as cool still nicer in terms of smoothness and speed). Dunno, too much animation and effects? The default one was simple and effective. Rotation thing is nice!

Image options would be nice, like delete, edit and so on, but this is a beta so I'm sure it'll be in there in the full version.
