AllAboutSymbian linked today to Scanr, a freeware for S60v3 devices that allows you to take a picture of a document, business card, or whiteboard, and either email it to yourself or someone else, or even send it via fax! I was skeptical at first, but the app is great.

Once the app is installed, you setup a ScanR.com account on the phone. *Note that using the
app incurs data charges.* Once the account is setup, you can take a picture
of whatever document and then go to the ScanR app, where you select the
photo and tell it what you’d like to do with it; just upload, other email, or send fax.
Any of the above options automatically uploads a copy of the scan to the Scanr.com website, where you can view (and download) it from any web browser. By default, it will email you a link to the scan, but you can set it also to email it to you as an attachment. Perfect for me, cause I have my Gmail popped to my phone.
Takes about 5-7 minutes for the whole process to complete, which is pretty quick, in my opnion. So if you’re on the go but need to scan a document and email it or fax it or something, this is yet another great app to have at your disposal. And you can’t beat free, people.
