T-Mobile users have yet another reason to rejoice, as Photobucket announced that a new mobile photo service was available for them. Through the new service mobile users will be able to send photos directly from their handset to various destinations such as a Photobucket album, a personal computer, or even an email address.

T-Mobile subscribers who would like to use the new application available with the service are allowed to download it for a free 21-day trial, yet for now it only works with select mobile phones, including Blackberry Curve and Blackberry Pearl, as well as three Windows Mobile devices.

At the same time, T-Mobile users who do not currently have a Photobucket account can create one on the website, after which they can link their handset to their Photobucket online photo album through the newly announced service. Once the Photobucket Mobile Uploader has been downloaded, users can choose where to upload the photos they have on the device.

As stated above, initially, the Photobucket Mobile Uploader will only be available on five select mobile phones, and that applies to both the free and the premium versions of the application. If they get the trial version, they can either use the free version of the application after the 21 days are over or purchase the full version of the software.

The Photobucket Mobile Uploader is available for a special holiday one-time purchase price of $19.99. According to the company, after the trial version is over, users will only be able to upload images on Photobucket, while the premium variant will also allow them to send photos to a PC or to an email address.

More information on the Mobile Uploader can be found on the Photobucket website. Users will also be able to download the software from there.
