    Thanks for this useful information.

    I never knew about this article on your blog. I read your comments on Nirmal’s blog and followed the link.

    This seems to be really useful. I am going to give it a try right now.

    @rakshit
    welcome , :) .. glad that you liked it .. if you have a s60 3ed phone, this software is a good option. But again you might need a mobile holder as image quality from front camera is really poor.

    Even if it’s free if we cannot use it, then it’s still useless. but thanks anyway… Please develop one which enables cable connection also. Thanks

    @sohel,
    As long as your phone support bluetooth there must not be any problem. However any queries and for error, you can posts details at their support forum link in above comment. It works fine on my N95 too.. just that clarity of video is very bad.

    Motvik, please, make it work via USB, not every owner of N95 have a computer with bluetooth… Wich is my case, and I cannot use your software because of that limitation. Why exclude this option, as it´s so common to any phone user to connect using a usb cable?
