Nokia has begun shipping a camera phone with video-editing and mobile-blogging features in Europe, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region.

The phone maker said its 7610 phone can capture, edit, store, print and send pictures and videos. The handset comes with a Kodak application designed to let users upload pictures to a virtual photo album on the web. Images can be printed using a Bluetooth connection to a compatible printer or at kiosks at Nokia stores and other photo shops.

Nokia recently announced a site called Lifeblog that lets subscribers archive mobile phone photos in chronological order, along with other data, including text, video and audio, using a personal mobile web log, or 'moblog'.

With camera phones becoming more popular, service providers are setting up moblogs that let users transfer pictures from their phones onto the net.

Using the 7610 phone, videos up to 10 minutes in duration can be shot and edited, and music and text can be added on the camera. Digital content created on the camera may be organised and transferred to a PC, allowing consumers to browse and search their multimedia 'diary' and share those items with friends or family through email.
