Some days ago I had to set up again my Nokia E71, while doing this I discovered a whole new bunch of apps that either I didn’t know or I didn’t had the time to install. And among the apps that I installed on my Nokia E71 is Nokia Point and Find, a really cool app that is ttotally awesome, it does magic!
Well, of course is not a magical app, but it is pretty unbelievable and amazing. This app is Point and Find, a Nokia operated service that is available worldwide. Nokia Point and Find is a very advanced app, is the kind of app that lets everyone speechless but Nokia doesn’t get marketing out of it, a thing Apple does and knows how to do very well.
Basically point and find, finds information about things you point to with your E71s camera. For example, a movie poster; just point with the E71 to the movie poster and your E71 will identify the movie and the will sshow you the trailer and movie times near you. But no only that, when shopping you can just point your E71 to the barcode of a product and your E71 will recognize it and show you the lowest price online; a pretty amazing feature. But the coolest one is with sights, lets say you are in the Eifflel Tower in Paris, just point at it and your E71 will tell you everything about it; it works with most historical structures. With point and shoot you can find many things, and you can get it for free here: Nokia Point and Find
Tried to install it on E71x and the screen comes up blank and then disappear. Anyone else got it to work?
Can’t get this app to work on my E71.
Installed fine, starts fine (after I’ve restarted my phone).
Pick 2d Barcodes from the world bar, camera kicks in and displays what I’m looking at.
I click the centre button to do what I assume is take a photo of the barcode and upload / search for info on it, but instead of taking a photo it scrolls downwards to the search bar, and displays “no data”.
I let that run for a while in case it actually had taken a photo and I haven’t noticed! But no, nothing.
I quit the app, and it doesn’t release the camera. If I try and use the camera, it says “another application is using the camera”.
I have to restart the phone to get my camera back.
Can’t find any online support for Point and Find (though I’m sure I’m just looking in the wrong place).
It’s a pity, it sounds like a very cool app.
followed the link but it won’t work
nothing ever works on e71x. Nokia needs to change that and start making apps compatable with the e71x. Im losing faith in this phone.
The link is dead, doesn’t work, please re-up and update with a link that works
The link provided is broken.
Here is where you can grab the app from http://pointandfind.nokia.com/
