It feels great to finally have a real blogging app on my fantastic, new phone. With WordPress for Nokia finally up and running, I really can say that the Nokia N97 mini truly is a bloggers phone. The keys on the keyboard are not too small and easy to hit and press, the touch screen is fairly easy to get used to – though I still tend to hit lower than I mean to – and the phone it self is small, light and has a good design.

As for the WordPress for Nokia application it has almost all the things I want in a blogging tool. The text field is large enough for me to see what I am writing while still allowing for a few buttons to be visible on the screen, and it offers the most basic functionalities like saving drafts, managing comments, creating and editing pages, and it allows for pictures to be added to posts. I have to be honest and admit that I haven’t tried that last option yet, but I’ll get around to it soon enough.

In all this greatness though, I have found a few things that are really annoying. First of all, when adding a symbol from the ‘sym’-menu, the symbol is added to the end of the post. I detected this when I wanted to make a word in my previous post into a link. With the cursor at the beginnig of the word a few lines above the end it the post, whatever I did, the symbol ended up at the end and not where my cursor was. Not good!

Another thing I noticed while batteling with the symbol issue was that the only the left and right arrow keys are working properly in the post content field. The up and down buttons move focus away from the content field and up to the title field or down to the buttons below. This is fantasticly annoying when trying to move between different parts of the text.

I truly hope that the developers working on WordPress for Nokia will work out these kinks, because I do believe they are some of the final hurdles for this app to be king.
