which model is your nokia phone?

[gone_wishin]

Jewgaffer,

What model phone do you have?

It shouldn't be as complicated as you have experienced. I have a Nokia 6233, to take photo's, store them and retrieve has nothing to do with the carrier (ie Optus, Telstra Vodaphone etc).

My phone has a button on the side with a picture of camera embedded, when I press this the phone goes into camera mode I look at the screen, when the image is what I want I press the button that says 'capture'.

The phone then asks do you want to save and where, I save it to the memory card.

To retrieve I just remove the card from the phone and place it in a 'card reader' (you can get these from Harris Technology for $40) which is attached to my PC. I then copy the photo's to the hard drive and print or post them on Fishraider.

Well said gone_wishin. That will work with most phones, with slight differentiations depending on the model of the phone.

With some phones the manufacturer gives you a USB cable.

You can transfer photos by connecting one end of the USB cable to the computer and another end to the phone. Then it's a matter of 'drag and drop' onto the computer.

Hope it all works out for you.

zrealist thanks for your kind help i found another cable that fits this phone its a nokia n73.

i don't know drag and drop for that only to tidy up the desk from the help page. the other pages for help are too many links and just too difficult and time consuming

i suppose the good thing is kids are learning computers as they are learning to talk

i don't want to know too much just pictures and i'm ok now using the world search page , even ebay but mate i even got put off the air for two weeks for shill bidding which i had never heard of before when i simply wanted to save an old rod from a mates garage clean up.

cheers mate i like to say it as it is. i learn more that way and by the time i read the other helps replies i know i'll have it right for sure

1st optus zoo is optus's mobile phone internet site, nothing to do with the camera, the girl you spoke to should have known that!

2nd you can take the memory card out of the phone and insert it in a card reader, if you have one but the better way is to transfer it with the cable supplied. 1st you have to instal the nokia suite program which should have been supplied with the phone, if not you can download it from the nokia website! as i had a lot of problems with my nokia programs i just download them from nokia!

3rd there should be a short cut to the camera im sure youll find it but till then look at the screen and in one corner there should say menu! press the button closest to it! then scroll through the menus to find the camera option. might be under media!

any more advice just pm me!
