downloading pics from mobile

[PinkFizz]

Last night I took the most amazing pictures of a storm on my camera phone.,Trouble is I don't know what to do with them now,I want to download them onto my PC but I cant seem to find a cable in the box that I assume would plug into both PC and camera,Any ideas??

depends what phone it is...

most have data cables available from market or online(example: eBay) or if the phone has bluetooth you could buy a bluetooth dongle

which you plug in the send photos that way...bluetooth is slower than USB data cables but will do the job.

once you have either of these installed they'll appear on your PC as 'Removable disk' you can just copy the files from that folder straight to your PC and do as you please with them

daft question,but do you plug the bluetooth dongle directly into the mobile??

[maviscoull]

no the dongle fits usb on PC

[capper1985]

the bluetooth goes into the USB on the PC

then connects 'wireless' via bluetooth technology to your phone which is already bluetooth enabled

you can also send pics to other phones via bluetooth just using the phone

You probably don't have a cable, as the phone companies don't want you to download pictures from your phone, by cable, as they can't charge you for it!!!

On my phone if you go to the picture you can then select 'Send Options' . These include InfraRed, but your PC needs an IR port.

You can also send it as a picture message to an email address. But you will get charged for this.

I bought a date cable for this very thing, but on trying to install ontp Windows XP it asks me to select phone model and neither of my Nokia (6103 and 6070) are mentioned. Can I still use the cable and if so what model no. shall I select? Please help.
