Shozu
I've downloaded and installed ShoZu, a picture upload client, to my Nokia N70. Specifically, I thought it'd make my life easier to upload pictures to flickr. Normally, photos have to be sent in as E-Mail attachments, which is a bit of a hassle. Sadly, ShoZu is even more of a hassle and doesn't quite deliver on the promise of ease of use. Perhaps it does offer the functionality that I require, but I can't really be bothered to work our how customise it to reflect my needs.
First, as soon as you take a picture, ShoZu asks me whether I want to upload it to Flickr. er, no, I take plenty of pictures, but would prefer to simply save them to memory and have the "ShoZu Upload" as an option. It's a bit like a popup ad.
I've got four flickr accounts, but it is preset only to one. I don't know how to get it to give me an option to upload to other accounts.
And I can't uninstall the damn thing. Probably Nokia's doing but still.

Sorry to hear you were disappointed with ShoZu. Here are a couple of tips that might help.
Firstly, you can turn off the pop-up in the ShoZu settings menu (Options > Settings > Image > New images > set to "Skip").
You can then open the ShoZu app and choose which photos you want to upload at any time. On the N70, make multiple selections by holding down the pencil key while clicking.
You can set up all your Flickr accounts on the ShoZu web site. Make sure you are logged into the Flickr account you want to configure. Then log into your ShoZu account, click the "Sharing" tab, and click "Other destinations". Select Flickr from the list and follow the instructions.
The name you choose for each Flickr account will appear in the ShoZu menu on your phone after the next time ShoZu connects to the server. Select a photo, click Options > Send > to other > and you'll see your personal list, so you can send photos to whichever Flickr account you want.
If you click on a photo in ShoZu on your phone and scroll down, it will show you where you have sent the photo, and when.
Finally, if you realy do want to uninstall ShoZu, open the Manager app, select ShoZu and press the "C" key. But I hope you'll be willing to give it another try first.
