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.

WordPress.com News 
Nah… This is what I need. Because my mobile phone is Nokia…
Dang! not for E63??!!!!!!!!! Come on…. :(:(:(
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.
I use SE..
Seems like if it doesnt work on my cellphone.
I have a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic
I have downloaded the app and installed it.
On the url i type my url to my wordpress-blog
I type my username and poassword and I press on save, but nothing happens….
Anyone who knows what I have to do?
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.
I Wish next year will 2 milion or more
Is there WordPress for iPhone as well?
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?
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.
Will it supports nokia E series?
The plan is only to support newer Nokia smart phones. Nokia has a lot of models out there, and we have to be selective.
Not available for the N86? 😦
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!
Isn’t Symbian dead already?
Preferring keeping my phone as a phone. My laptop suits me fine for blogging.
Wow! Another brilliant innovation! Nokia users… Just got lucky!
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?
Currently there are no plans for an app for Palm OS.
Honestly, WordPress needs to fix what they already made before they go & make new apps. Coz WordPress for BB sucks big time.
How to use it?
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.
Wow. Excellent milestone.
Well done!
It doesn’t work on Nokia N96 😦
Please make an app for SonyEricsson too!
Up and running. Thanks!
Cool, but I have HTC.
Wow, great job!
I’ve figured out it’s also available on the Nintendo DSi, which proves most useful.
WP gets better and better! thanks for your quality job done. nothing better than WP!
Will it be available for Nokia N900 (Maemo) ?
