Screenshot for Symbian OS is a FREE program to take screenshot on your Symbian OS mobile phones (UIQ or S60). You can capture screenshot and save it to a file in JPEG, PNG, BMP or MBM format. The screenshot can be sent directly to a PC via Bluetooth or infrared and another mobile phone. Furthermore, you can customize the shortcut key, file name and delay of capturing. It supports continuous mode that allows you to capture screenshot every a few seconds.

So both of the aforementioned applications support Symbian s60v.3 which are all those N95, E71, etc etc.

Now if you use a Symbian Device with s60 v5 ie. Nokia N97, Nokia 5800, Nokia 5530, or Samsung i8910 well you can use Super Screenshot which is available for download over at our friend S60V5 Blog.
