In true fanfare fashion, we now move on to something bigger in this concluding article about Share on Ovi. And when we say big, we really do mean it in the literal sense. Perchance you have a video taken with your Nokia device, and realize that you’ve gone ballistic and taken up to almost 300MB worth of footage. In an area without free Wi-Fi coverage, you’ll be solely dependant on your device’s HSDPA network to upload your video via the Share on Ovi client on your mobile phone.

Now, onto the main course. For photography buffs, chances are you’ll have a huge collection of photos from your Nokia device to upload.

However, should you wish to make it friendly on the PC, using Split Movie 2 would be a better choice. More importantly, cropping videos allow you to separate the video into acceptable the file size limit of 100MB.
