Flickr For BlackBerry Smartphones

June 7, 2008 by Robb Dunewood 6 Comments

BlackBerry maker, Research in Motion has released a free BlackBerry application that allows BlackBerry users to upload photos directly from their BlackBerry to their Flickr accounts. The free BlackBerry download is cleverly named Flickr for BlackBerry Smartphones.

I just downloaded Flickr for BlackBerry Smartphones onto my 8130 and I have to admit the the app is pretty slick. You have to the ability to upload pictures to the proper album, tag your pictures, resize them, and even geotag your pictures if your BlackBerry is equipped with GPS.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that if you have a BlackBerry with a camera on it and a Flickr account, you should just download Flickr for BlackBerry Smartphones. You can do so OTA and you can’t beat the price.

    If the app says upload failed check Flickr before trying again. I ended up with a few dups because it said it failed when it actually worked.

    I just took a crap load of pictures at this girls graduation party earlier today and this was exactly what I needed because everyone was asking me to email them the pictures.

    Not bad if you just need to upload just a few pictures while on the the go but if you have a memory card full of them, it is going to take a while.

    Sort of idiotic to release a program that only does uploads but doesn’t bother doing elegant access to your online stash. Half a*s if you ask me.

    I have to sort of agree with Chris. . I don’t know if I’d go as far as to call it “idiotic”, but access to the 14,000+ pictures I already have on Flickr with a nice non-browser interface and being able to manipulate tags, geotags and other metadata on them would be a whole lot more useful to me than an uploader.

    I already upload stuff from my 8320 all the time over email, and that works fine. For whatever reason, this app was a lot slower and more prone to uploads failing than just using email. I wound up removing it to get the space back.
