I am consider a Pogo as really want to get my LJ's up to date and keep them that way.

I have a Blackberry Torch and was wondering how itwould work with this. Do you bluetooth the photos to the pogo. If I wanted to print from my normal camera, do I just insert the memory card to the Pogo

Also where do you get your paper from, was wondering how much its going to cost me to keep it up.

Thanks, can then get on and order one :laughing:

I love my pogo and use it for all my obs, LJ's, ID badges etc. However, I have a brand new Windows HTC phone and pogo is not compatible with it. I have to take pics on my camera and plug the camera into pogo so its a bit of a pain in the bum. Alot of the very new phones are not compatible with it so worth googling or something to check whether yours will be. I got a pack of the paper from Amazon. It does seem a bit costly, about £10 a pack I think, that got me 50 sheets from memory so plenty to keep me going. My inlaws love it too cos if they have my dd for the day and take a nice pic I take my pogo with me when I collect her and print it off for them and they stick it on the fridge, for the money its a lovely little gadget. xx

PS I would be very surprised if your phone is compatible with it as it is quite an advanced phone but hopefully someone will be along soon to correct me :) xxx

I have a blackberry torch and it was no problem to bluetooth pics to the pogo. Papers have come down in price I think to about £11 for 70 pages from amazon.
You can print from your camera using the wire, there isnt a slot for a memory card.
I use the Pogo for my obs and also for cards that we make (putting pic of the child making the card on the back) Parents love that. I used it at my daughters baby shower recently too to add pics to her guest book.

Theres lots of uses, well worth getting and dont forget to use the link in this site! :thumbsup:
