If you haven't heard, Nokia has updated their phone sharing application called Share Online. The new version is Share Online 3.0, and brings some important changes.
Staying in contact with your photo friends is now easier. You can now view your friend's photos and leave comments as well as view comments that have been left on your photos. Privacy settings are now able to be controlled as well, which is a huge plus. Icons are added to your standby screen that let you know when you have new comments. Personally I think it's a waste of space and we should have the option to take it off, but we don't. Bad move by Nokia.
The new Nokia photo service called Ovi is implemented in Share Online 3.o. It's Nokia's version of Flickr, and so far I like it. Most of the screenshots and photos you see hear at the blog are hosted by Ovi. There are so many options with Ovi, you just need to go check it out for yourself. Channels (same as albums in Flickr) can have many privacy settings, tags are standard, and the storage is unlimited. That's the big thing I like compared to Flickr. To have more than three albums with Flickr or unlimited storage you need to pay $25 a year. At Ovi, the cost is $0. Another amazing feature in Ovi is the ability to upload entire folders at a time on your computer. This is a huge since I don't enjoy adding files one at a time. Just click the folder you want of X amount of photos, put your feet up and turn on the TV for a bit. No need to sit there and add each file one by one. I'll talk more about the other great features of Ovi in another post.One click upload is a huge one for me since I love putting my photos on the web. Just snap your shot, and click the upload button. It will be done in the background so you can keep snapping away. The photo will be added to Share or Ovi so your friends or family can check out the photos as your taking them.
Overall the application is very stable, but I warn you that if you don't like Share Online 3.o and want to revert back to 2.0, a full hard reset is required.

I tried it out yesterday. I don't know what to think about these kind of applications and sharing possibilities. There are to many websites and applications what can help you with getting pictures online.
The strangest thing. I updated my N82 to Share 3.0 and Flickr disappeared. Only Vox is still there and I'm trying to figure out how to add Ovi.
mephala i had the same problem when I installed share online 3.0 on my N82 black, i got flickr and Vox to show up..but no Ovi.
Solution?
For Ovi go to: http://mosh.nokia.com/content/47813AF3503EC97DE040050A44306782
And for flickr (i suppose) you go to: http://mosh.nokia.com/content/4783D992A83B5872E040050A44306F58
Ovi is now supposed to be integrated with Nokia Photos, the new photo application which is a part of the Nseries PC Suite. (http://europe.nokia.com/support/nokiaphotos).
However, when I try to add Ovi to Nokia Photos, it just gives a registration error and does not connect.
Anyone else have more luck?
Hi Kevin. I haven't tried it out yet. I once installed Nokia Photos awhile back ago and it really slowed down my computer so I deleted it. No clue why Nokia makes some of their apps such big memory hogs.
when i try to add OVI account on my n82 it says no services found, i tried with som config files, but when i apply config files ovi share bugs out and i have to reboot phone and still same :S
any advices?
