ollie Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Attention computer whizz kids: I bought a new picture phone and I was wandering how do you get the pictures on a computer? I know that a data cable has to be used, but where do I plug it in? Does there need to be a secial programme installed into the computer to load the pictures? Any extra info would be great also. cheers ollie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_stag88 Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 What I have to do is to email it from the phone to my email adress. Problem is that it costs 25p a pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 If you are using a laptop then the easiest way is to zap pics from the phone over InfraRed. If you are using a desktop/tower pc then you will need to use a cable as you said, or install some other wireless device such as a bluetooth adapter. I am not familiar with the type of cables available for phones but I am presuming that a USB cable will be the most appropriate. Most standard PC's have USB built in, the slots are about half and inch long by a quarter of an inch high. Most digital cameras use this USB type connection. I guess it depends upon your pc as to which method you want more info on... Mack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilly71 Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 What phone is it? Do you have any cables? Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted May 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Nilly It is a Nokia 3200 and I'm going to purchase a data cable very soon. I think the method that red uses is probably the easiest to email it to my email address. Thanks for the advice and anyone else who has any tips would be helpful.

nilly71 Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Ollie I prefer infrared, your phone supports it and if you change you phone at a later date you still have an infrared port to use. I bought mine of Ebay for about £8.00. For software to transfer between phone and PC try this. http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,46897,00.html Hope it helps.

Synchro Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Data cable.. It will connect your phone to your USB port on your PC. Also use this data cable to backup all phone numbers onto your PC, incase your 16 month old son throws your phone into the bath (yes it happene!).

Synchro Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 No probs. How many of us add numbers to our mobile phones and then don't write them down anywhere else? I know I used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted May 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 I lost my phone in a taxi one night and lost about 200 numbers in the process and only got about 100 of them back of mates. Ever since that night I have noted every number down elsewhere incase something unfortunate happens again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
