Although Orkut had already optimized its mobile version, but that was mainly limited to Symbian phone users. Whereas all Java Phone users had to use old m.orkut.com to browse Orkut in an older fashion. But in this age of mobile computing, mobiles phone with EDGE/GPRS are becoming a major way to access Orkut for many users. So considering this, Orkut has finally launched a Java Based Mobile Application to offer Orkut’s core functionality to its users. Below are some features of this app

* Upload photos to orkut on-the-go, directly from your phone.
* View scraps, friends' updates, and photo albums while you're offline.
* Share your orkut albums with all of your friends whether they use orkut or not (via SMS).
* Easily call or SMS your orkut friends and address book contacts from within the app.
* Get automatic updates when your friends change their contact information or orkut profiles.
