I had posted earlier that Google has launched Orkut Application for mobile phones. Today I installed it in my Nokia 5800 and it looks great on the bigger mobile touch pad, similar to the GMail application I am using on my Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic .
This application is a beta release from Google (version 1.0) which allows you to access your scrapbook, make status updates and upload a photo from your phone camera. Main feature is the last one, you can use your phone’s built in camera to capture an image and upload into your Orkut account ! This feature isn’t available in the WAP version of Orkut which can be accessed on mobile. Another feature is the offline mode, even without internet connection, you can view scraps, friends’ photo album etc which you have already downloaded on to the application.
If your phone supports Java, you could try this app by pointing your phone’s default browser to http://m.google.com/orkut where you can follow the install link.
Those who do not have the java enabled phone (which is a rare chance now, but still few of you may be using those) you can still access Orkut through the mobile friendly Orkut site on the same link as above.
Have fun, post your feedback on using Orkut app on Nokia 5800 or any other phone and discuss it here !

The page mentioned above isn’t currently showing an Orkut app download link.
I am not sure when Google will re enable downloads of this app.
