Russell wrote about ShoZu, a free mobile photo uploading service a couple months ago, noting it looked like a good way to get around the problems of MMS for uploading photos to a sharing site like Flickr. It’s built by Cognima, which makes the cool white-label Snap service that’s pretty similar, but it sold to carriers. ShoZu offers some of the functionality of Snap, but is open to anybody with a compatible handset, and is free. When ShoZu launched, it only worked on some Symbian handsets, but it now supports a slew of Windows Mobile devices as well as some Java handsets.

I downloaded it on my Sony Ericsson K750, and have messed with it some, and it seems pretty great for uploading to Flickr — far easier than sending them via email or SMS. So check it out again if you were disappointed by the earlier list of compatible handsets, and hopefully the list will keep growing.
