How To Take Screenshots Of Your Mobile Phone

You might have probably seen different blogs / websites using the screenshots of mobile phones. You might be wondered how they take those snaps of mobile screen when there is no option for that in the mobile phone.

The solution is possible with few third party softwares which are listed below:

1. Symbian Mobiles:

For Mobile phones running with Symbian OS, you can download the screenshot tool here. You should take care that you are downloading the right version as there are two different versions of software available based on the platform of your mobile like S60 or UIQ.

The supported models for S60 are: Nokia 3250, N71, N73, N75, N76, N80, N81, N82, N91, N92, N93, N95, E50, E51, E60, E61, E61i, E62, E65, E70, E90.

And the ones for UIQ are: Sony Ericsson P900, P908, P910, P910i, Motorola A920, A925.

You may also use other programs like FExplorer or ALON Screen Capture [shareware, 14 day trial available] for S60 mobiles.

2. Java Mobiles:

The above tool does not support most of the devices which do not run on Symbian OS. So, the solution is here. This is a mobile screenshot tool to help mobile users running with java based mobiles. Most of the Sony Ericsson and other java handsets are supported here. Thanks Nirmal.
