A request from Brent:
"rachel... you're not sending those pics straight from your phone to your Flickr account are you, like remotely? I'd love to be able to do that... so if you've figured that one out (from NZ) please post :-)"
Yes you can get your pics straight from your phone into Flickr. Moblogging isn't very streamlined here yet - unless someone knows how let me know.
You can get your pic to appear straight to Flickr but any comments or description you pxt with it doesn't appear & you get a link back to the Xtra photo album page. I don't know if this is the case with Vodaphone. I have tried sending pics straight to the blog thru both Telecom & Vodaphone & all you get is a redirection message & no pic. So it is a two step process if i want to blog the photo i sent to flickr then i have to go into flickr & send it from there with all the comments, tags etc i want to write. The potential for moblogging with our kids - field trips, school camps etc would be so awesome if only it worked a little better. No need for internet or computers - just a cell phone & of course depending where u are cell phone coverage...
Some links on how to do it on my Flickr wiki - let me know if you learn anything new :-)

Rachel... you're the bomb! Thanks for the pointer on this. We've been sending pics to Flickr in the office all day :-) ... very happy. On my phone I can also create a contact called Flickr who has no details besides an email address (the Flickr one) and that makes is quite easy. Seeing as Flickr has an API and so does Blogger it shouldn't be too difficult to get a photo from Flickr straight into a blog ... but can't figure out how you'd get any txt around it. We sent our messsages using the MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) on our phones as well, which seems a little different than your post (see: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pumicehead/405173616/). It came up with the name of the file Image072.jpg and a slightly more innocuous message than yours did. Interest tweaked ... thanks again for the post.
