Snap&Sketch Feature :
With the new Snap&Sketch feature mobile MSN is more fun than before. Make a personalized photo in 3 steps:
Step 1: Snap
Snap a nice photo with your mobile. For example a nice photo on holiday, a photo of yourself or your pet.
Note that some mobiles do not support the Photo function even if they have a camera. This is because those mobiles do not give Java programs like eMSN access to the phone. But even if you do not camera support you can still make nice sketches (see step 2)
