    Default Pogo printer

    Those of you who have a pogo printer can you tell me which phone or camera you use. I need to upgrade my phone and would still like to be able to use the pogo. I have tried connecting my camera direct to the printer but it doesn't work either. I like the pogo prints for small obs so I'm reluctant to change without knowing what will work

    that's all I do.

    you need the camera to be able to use 'pict bridge' or something I think!

    I've just bought a new camera and didn't even stop to think about if it would work with the pogo hope it does!

    with a phone, the pogo doesn't work with iphone, but should work with any other phone if you can Bluetooth from it. I just tried googling to find out if there is a list of phone/cameras compatible with pogo ... but I think you'll have to google each respective phone & pogo! good luck x

    my nokia lumia doesn't - which is especially annoying as I chose that phone as it has a good camera.
    there is a list on the polaroid website of what works.

    This is copied from the pogo support page -
    The Polaroid POGO is compatible with some makes of mobile phone available, such as older Nokia, Samsung, LG, Motorola and Blackberry models. However it has been found to be incompatible with many of the latest smartphones now becoming available. In this case we suggest that you look at purchasing a GL10 instead, details of which can be found on this website.
    The POGO is not compatible with any Apple iPhone.
    Additionally the Pogo is not compatible with PC’s or laptops,
    It is only compatible with PICTBRIDGE enabled cameras. However it has been found it may not operate with the latest models of cameras with this facility so please check before purchasing if possible.The passcode when setting up a Bluetooth connection is 6 0 0 0

    I solved this problem by getting a bluetooth usb dongle (Tesco £4). All my photos go on my laptop (camera and phone) then I can print them from the laptop through the pogo no probs

    That's a cunning plan. I might get one too!
