I will review the Vox application in my Nokia N93. The Nokia N93i will be the first Nseries device to have the application built in, but existing Nseries phone owners can use Vox now by running a configuration file. Vox members are able to upload videos and full size photos directly from the camera or Image Gallery application. However I can only think of one scenario when I’ll need to use this service.

I can cross out Vox for sharing pictures. I already have Flickr embedded in my Gallery that allows me to upload pictures and quickly tag them. I also already uploaded a lot of pictures in my Flickr account and do not need another image hosting company. If you have an Nseries phone like the Nokia N70, Nokia N80, Nokia N93, and Nokia N73 and still do not have Flickr installed, read the how-to over here.

For sharing videos, Vox becomes useful but falls just a little short. I quickly signed up for an account and tried uploading a short video clip from my ski trip. Surprisingly, once the upload finished from my phone, the video showed up in my Vox blog page right away! I’m so used to waiting for YouTube to process my videos before it becomes available to the public.

Even though Vox does not let their users easily copy and paste the video files, it’s easy to grab the code by viewing the page’s html source. One of my video uploads on Vox can be seen below. It’s a clip from my Nokia N93 at Silver Spurs in New York City. Probably the biggest burger I’ve eaten in my life.

Conclusion

Vox makes it a lot easier to upload videos directly from an Nseries phone, but they need to broaden their audience to existing bloggers. I do not like the fact that Vox does not make an html code easily accessible to copy and paste to other pages. Other services like YouTube and Blip.TV gives their users the code so they can easily embed the uploaded videos in their own blogs or in their MySpace profiles. I want to be able to quickly share the videos I uploaded in Vox here at the Nokia blog.
