If you all remember I had written a post few months back Google Is All Set To Release Orkut App for Mobile Phones yesterday was the day when Google launched beta Orkut mobile application which you all can download on all Java-enabled phones which includes some of the popular phones like Nokia N95, Nokia 6300 and Sony Ericsson W580i.

• View scraps, friends' updates, and photo albums while you're offline.
• Share your orkut albums with all of your friends whether they use orkut or not (via SMS).
• Easily call or SMS your orkut friends and address book contacts from within the app.
• Get automatic updates when your friends change their contact information or orkut profiles.

Steps to download:

1. Go to m.google.com/orkut from your mobile phone’s browser.
2. It will ask you to “Install” the application which is 495 KB.
   
3. After it gets installed you have to go to the application ( In Nokia phones it will be in the application folder) and select it.
   
4. Then Orkut app will start loading.
   
5. Once its loading is completed you will have to sign-in with your Orkut account. That’s all.
