T-Mobile and Photobucket are offering a service that enables
users to send photos directly from mobile handsets to several
destinations: a Photobucket album, a PC hard drive, or any an email
address. They are offering a 21-day free trial and after that the app costs $19.99.
To try out the app, T-Mobile subscribers can download the
application for a free 21-day trial to select handsets, including
Blackberry Curve, Blackberry Pearl and three Windows Mobile devices.
T-Mobile subscribers that do not currently have a Photobucket account
can create one for free at http://photobucket.com, and then link their
T-Mobile phone to their Photobucket online photo album via the new
service. Once the mobile uploader software has been downloaded, the
application allows users to choose where photos taken from their mobile
phones should be automatically uploaded to: a Photobucket album, their
PC's hard drive or directly to an email address.
The Photobucket Mobile Uploader for T-Mobile is available initially
on five select handsets in both free and premium versions. Following
the 21-day trial, users can continue using the free version or purchase
the full software for a special holiday one-time purchase price of
$19.99. The expired trial version allows users to upload only to
Photobucket, while the premium version gives users access to
Photobucket, as well as the ability to send photos to their home PC or
to any email address. For more information, please visit
