Nokia's approach is similar to a facility offered by Apple's Ipod know as 'cover flow'. However, the difference is that Nokia users will be able to flip through their snaps; select one and then turn it over.
With cameraphones users will be able to annotate the snaps using the keypad or keyboard just like they create SMS/text messages. The advantage is that the scribble will become an integrated part of the saved photo.
This isn't the first time Nokia has attempted to solve the issue of identifying saved photos. Owners of GPS enabled Nokia handsets like the N95 called Location Tagger.
This app at least gives the cameraphone owner some idea of where the snap was actually taken.
