Yesterday I got a Nokia N97 mini from my girlfriend (thank you ) as sort of a late birthday present. The Nokia N97 mini is marketed as the ultimate blogger’s phone, but is is really?

I am – as you obviously know – running this WordPress site. It is a standard stand-alone installation on a webhotel linux server with a few automatically installed plugins and a non-standard, automatically installed theme. The phone has several applications available both pre-installed and available on Nokia’s Ovi Store for blogging. And the “share online”-function has been an integral part of the Series 60 phones for several generations now. So getting the phone to talk to the WordPress blog should be a simple “enter your name, password and link to blog here”-type procedure, right?

Wrong! I have tried the pre-installed applications, I have tried searching Ovi Store for a tool for the job, and I have tried setting up Pixelpipe to do the job. All to no avail. No apps on Ovi seems to be able to post to WordPress, Pixelpipe along with the “Share Online”-function only allows for images, video and audio to be posted, and the WordPress for Nokia project I found thanks to Google is in beta and not supported by Seires 60 version 5.

The only thing I have gotten to work so far is installing the WordPress Mobile Pack plugin on the WordPress blog and access the admin pages through the phone browser. But that isn’t what I want! I want to be able to write my posts offline, save drafts, send them to an outbox, and have them posted either automatically or manually when I get to a WiFi network or a home network.

If you have any tips for an app that might work, or a config modification for the share online function that will allow me to post unlimited text (and media) to my WordPress blog – please leave me a comment, a tweet or a post on Facebook. I refuse to believe that Nokia N97 mini and WordPress won’t talk to each other.
