How to use my Nokia 6600 as a Webcam?

Yes, what is true is, your Nokia Phone can become a web cam, a wireless web cam indeed. Actually this was available a long ago, well before the N Series Nokia was in the market. All you need is a Mobile Phone that runs on Symbian S60, you can leverage the power of Blue Streaming.

Supported phones might include, Nokia N70, Nokia N72, Nokia N90, Nokia 6682, Nokia 6260, Nokia 7610, Nokia 6620, Nokia 6600, Nokia 3230, Nokia 6670, Nokia 6630, Nokia 6680,
Nokia 6681, Panasonic X700,X800, Samsung SHG-D720 etc.

What you need to have to achieve this?

1. A Symbian Mobile Handset, with VGA camera,
2. A PC/Laptop with Bluetooth Dongle or Built-In Bluetooth Module.
3. A Blue Streaming Software like (Mobiola)

There are two parts that needs to be installed, One on your handset[the client], the other on your PC or laptop[the server]. Once this is done, you have to set the connecting port usually COM6 or COM7, and connect with your server. Images captured from your mobile will be sent to the PC and the installed drivers would do the necessary from here.

This wireless cam can be used with all your favorite messaging and conference software like Yahoo Messenger, AIM AOL, MSN, Netmeeting, Microsoft Tahiti (google gtalk - better pull your socks up), Skype, Youtube and the likes of grouper.com. From now on you need not carry your bulky USB webcam, enjoy the wirefree technology to it's highest potential.

In my experience with the software, I have been using it with a Nokia 6600 and it works like a breeze. Connecting the camera to the Laptop is just as easy as transferring a file. Needs no special expertise, any regular user can use it. The speed is impressive, and equal to any normal PC Web Cam Frame rate and resolution.
