Celebrating 1 Million mobile users: WordPress for Nokia!
It’s been a crazy few years for WordPress’s mobile projects. In 2008 we launched the first version of the WordPress app so you could blog on the go with your shiny first-generation iPhone. Since then, we’ve added other platforms as well, including BlackBerry and Android. Today we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve expanded our mobile services to Nokia smart phones, too!
And this news couldn’t come at a more exciting time for us: We just passed 1 million mobile users across all platforms, which is not only a huge landmark for us, but for mobile blogging altogether. Cell phones are becoming our new personal computers, always with us and always ready when something needs blogging about. Each day thousands of posts are written and posted using nothing but a wee phone keyboard and a built-in camera. It’s truly about capturing the moment, and as smart phones are becoming more popular we’re trying to stay with you with your platform of choice. As of right now we have two exciting platforms in our scope, and today we’re launching the first one. I give you WordPress for Nokia:
We’ve made sure the Nokia app has everything you love about WordPress on any other mobile device – and you will find a lot of old and beloved friends among the features: You can, of course, write and edit posts and pages, manage your comments queue and keep an eye on your blog’s statistics while on the move. If a seagull just snatched your hot dog and is making a run for it, you can snap a picture of the commotion or even record a video describing how it felt and how much you’re suing for. All from within the app.
You can download the app directly from the Nokia Ovi Store…
- Newer devices (N8-00, C7-00, C6-01, etc): Download WordPress for Nokia – Symbian^3
- Older devices (X6-00, C6-00, N97, 5800 XpressMusic, etc): Download WordPress for Nokia
…or go to the WordPress for Nokia site where you’ll find all the details on the new app.
If you’re a developer, you can help out and improve the app to make it even better! All of WordPress’s apps are Open Source. If you’d like get involved, be sure to let us know. Read more on WordPress for Nokia Development.

So, how do you like the new app?

Sorry about that, Nokia has a lot of devices and we have to be a bit selective to make sure the app reaches it’s full potential.
November 9th, 2010 at 4:25 pm
I use SE..

November 22nd, 2010 at 1:13 pm
I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble. I’ll respond to you via email. You can also get help by going to the WordPress for Nokia Forums.

Windows Phone 7 version? Seems like something to shoot for after the Live Spaces blogs have grown the WordPress family of blogs.
November 10th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
I Wish next year will 2 milion or more
November 11th, 2010 at 5:51 am

November 22nd, 2010 at 1:07 pm
There sure is! Head over to ios.wordpress.org to read all about it. Please rate the app if you like it.

I have SONY ERICSSON Naite J105i
How to use WordPress on it?
November 22nd, 2010 at 1:05 pm
Currently we don’t have a native app for Sony Ericsson phones. You can of course manage your site through the phone’s built in browser, though.
November 12th, 2010 at 7:47 am
Will it supports nokia E series?
November 22nd, 2010 at 1:03 pm
The plan is only to support newer Nokia smart phones. Nokia has a lot of models out there, and we have to be selective.
November 12th, 2010 at 10:08 pm
Not available for the N86?
November 13th, 2010 at 7:31 am
Oh, bliss. Oh, joy. Oh, serendipity! I had JUST wrote an entry from my Nokia 6760 through normal WordPress (using Opera Mobile10 browser that I just downloaded too) and I was happy enough with that. But now with a proper Nokia one…oh, I have no words to describe my wild joy! THANK YOU SO MUCH for this!
November 13th, 2010 at 12:21 pm
Isn’t Symbian dead already?
November 13th, 2010 at 2:04 pm
Preferring keeping my phone as a phone. My laptop suits me fine for blogging.
November 13th, 2010 at 6:37 pm
Wow! Another brilliant innovation! Nokia users… Just got lucky!
November 14th, 2010 at 11:31 am
Sounds great, just a pity it comes 6 months after I switched to Palm Pre Plus *headbang* Is there anything planned for a Palm Pre Plus-app?
November 22nd, 2010 at 12:59 pm
Currently there are no plans for an app for Palm OS.
November 14th, 2010 at 2:11 pm
Honestly, WordPress needs to fix what they already made before they go & make new apps. Coz WordPress for BB sucks big time.
November 14th, 2010 at 5:35 pm
How to use it?
November 17th, 2010 at 9:46 pm
If you have Nokia phone that’s supported by the app, you can download it directly to your cell phone by going to the Ovi Store.
November 14th, 2010 at 9:56 pm
Wow. Excellent milestone.
Well done!
November 15th, 2010 at 8:50 am
It doesn’t work on Nokia N96
November 15th, 2010 at 6:41 pm
Please make an app for SonyEricsson too!
November 16th, 2010 at 6:52 am
Up and running. Thanks!
November 16th, 2010 at 8:41 pm
Cool, but I have HTC.
November 17th, 2010 at 12:42 am
Wow, great job!
I’ve figured out it’s also available on the Nintendo DSi, which proves most useful.
November 17th, 2010 at 6:24 am
WP gets better and better! thanks for your quality job done. nothing better than WP!
November 17th, 2010 at 8:19 am
