Flickr by Phone

I have owned a Blackberry for a couple of weeks now and it has changed the way I think about cell phones. I had a TREO before so I am not new to “smart phones”, but the ease of use of the newer equipment has caused me to both use the phone more and to explore more applications.

I am presently interested in the opportunity to send images to Flickr by email. The combination of commonly available camera phones and Flickr capabilities would seem to have some interesting applications.

What appeals to be is the opportunity to establish a Flickr email address for uploads that can be shared with multiple individuals combined with the opportunity to set permissions on uploads so that I or another account owner can review uploads before the images are shared with the world. This seems a practical way to implement classroom projects – a combination of convenient access AND control.

If you are interested, I have generated a more complete description of the process.
