Wes - is it this phone?


Nokia 6230

And this is your old phone?


Nokia 7250

Right, I have a 6230 and my younger sister has a 7250.

The 6230 has a 32mb MMC (Multi Media Card) underneath the battery which is removeable. When you take a pic using the 6230 it is saved to the IMAGES file in the phone memory, under GALLERY. What I do to get the pic off the phone and onto the PC is use one of these;



It is a USB multi card reader (many many on ebay for penuts) which plugs into the USB and comes up on your PC as extra removeable storage drives (eg, on mine they come up as F: G: H: drives)

All I do is take a pic then using the phone functions move the photo from IMAGES to the MMC card, take the card out of phone, slot it in the MMC slot on the card reader, open that window on the PC and voila - all pics are there. YOu can also put pics and vids on your phone by just doing it in reverse...

The 7250 does not use removable storage like the 6230 - all pics vids etc go to the phones internal memory. The main prob my sister had was she had no way to get her pics off her phone and onto the pc so she could email them. I thought about getting her a bluetooth dongle but it appears her phone doesn't support bluetooth.

So I got her one of these;

Just install software onto PC, plug the lead into a USB at one end and phone in the other end and bus stuff to and from the phone and PC. Only two drawbacks (apart from it not being as quick as the card reader and chip set up) is 1 you have to connect bothe phone and usb then re-boot pc so it recognises they are both connected to each other when you wanna use it, and also you have to have the phone on and if you are swapping loads of stuff to and from it can cain the battery in the phone.

But if you have both a 6230 and a 7250 you can text the pics from your 7250 to your new 6230 by sending them as multimedia text messages, or just send via infrared which is probably quicker anyway.

I definitely reccomend getting a multicard reader/writer tho. I got one when I bought my digi cam as it came with out a lead, and when my bro got his cam (with lead) it was soooooo slow comparred to the card reader.

Have a look here for em;
