but the pictbridge` option isnt in the top list made by the poster. info, funny boi, u iz.
MrInfo1(m): 10:37pm On Aug 19, 2008
Dual but the poster's question was not about any third party application na. I taught the poster asked thus "if she selects webcam from her list, does it mean her phone can work as a webcam?" and since 4peace confirmed that she could, i had to ask 4peace how to because i am also havn a similar doubt wit my phone's pictbrige option (too). Shey you grab now huh?

yes popz, i grab. kolo
PictBridge is an industry standard from the Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA) for direct printing. it allows images to be printed directly from digital cameras to a printer, without having to connect the camera to a computer.

@Funyin
yes,your phone could be used as web cam. But you have to and install the software to your phone. Nothing is impossible.
Though haven't tried it,but those who made the software didn't sure make it for fancy.Abi. grin

Brine baba or what did u call your name, why not try to read with ur brain and not with ur eyes shocked coz I wondered where u saw "usb storage device"


If you don't know something,it is better to keep quiet and let those who know to talk and also learn from them.
