Lumiappaday #226: Flickr demoed on the Nokia Lumia 900
Here’s a look at the Flickr App for your Lumia. I’ve only been using Flickr recently and so I’ve only just been using the app (though it was on my 800 pretty much since I’ve had it).
It’s quite well made and works pretty decently over 3G connection (though snappier on WiFi).
BTW we have a flickr page here:

Two major issues I would like to see solved
1. You can’t queue up multiple photos for upload automatically. You have to let one finish before manually starting another.
2. The thumbnails are curiously low red.
Other issues would be lack of uploading directly to sets.
*Low res
I’ve been using Fhotoroom although I’ve noticed 80% of the pictures are young ladies trying to show us their breasts in different pictures.
I’ll have to give Flickr a try after seeing the great shots from MNB. Looks good on a hp 24″ screen.
