I have a Motorola V555, which is the exact same thing as Cingulars V551, and I need to transfer the picture from my phone to the computer. What and where do I get the transfer quick link wire to do this, I went to like 5 places today, and everyone was worthless. I tried Circuit City, radio Shack, the Cell One store, and those stupid little accessory store they have set-up in the middle of the mall!! Any help would be great. I went to the Motorola website and they had nothing there?? How in the world do all of you people transfer your photos from cell to computer???

or just upload through your carrier, then DL to your PC

 

wrong forum

 

juast email yourself the picture as a picture message, less hassle

 

you need to learn how to utilize bluetooth

 

What do you mean. I assume you mean that I should send them via bluetooth to some source?? What source?? I know that if you bring this camera to Eckerds, they have a receiver there that you can link up with and they can print you actual pictures. But I want to just get the damn pictures sent to my computer. the Motorola website is worthless.

 

Get a Bluetooth Adapter for your computer and than just send data back and forth between your phone and Computer.

 

1. Get a bluetooth dongle of ebay or at any major electronics chain.

They look like this.


2. Go to this site for a tutorial/guide on Bluetooth

3. Transfer your pictures from your phone to your computer with ease and in a breeze.

I have V551 and a bluetooth dongle, and I just took this pic, transfered it to my computer, uploaded it to photobucket, and posted it in this thread in less than a minute.

 

you have a couple of options.

1> email them to yourself from your phone... easiest way.. it'll cost you between 20-40cents if you don't have an MMS data package with your carrier.

2>buy motorola phonetools and a usb cable to connect your phone to your pc.

3>do the bluetooth thing. you're going to need win xp w/ at least sp2 installed to utilize bluetooth.

 

One more option he has is to use Infra Red

I am not sure if the Moto V551 has it, but thats what I used to use before Bluetooth came popular and most laptops like mine has a InfraRed Port Receiver so I didnt have to buy anything

 

Thanks for the help!! I have decided to use option #1. I didn't even know it was an option until I went to a Cingular store and the guy told me about it. I'm an idiot sometimes. I mine as well throw myself under the bus again here and say I was surprised to find out that my phone is in essence a modem. I was informed that if I got that Motorola USB cord and connected to a laptop, I could go in the middle of the desert and use the internet!! He says its 3X faster than dial-up(poor Jatt)!! This little phone really packs a punch.
