Moving pics from phone cam to PC

[TXTailWatcher]

I've got a hand me down Sony Ericsson camera phone and I'm trying to move pics from it to my PC. I've tried sending them infrared to my palm pilot, but it doesn't accept the .jpg format. Is there an infrared attachment I can get for my PC that will allow it? What about blue tooth? I'm not too familiar with that technology.

-first of all what kind of Sony Ericsson are we talkin about? T68i? T616? T637? all 3 of those phones have bluetooth, a technology that will allow you to transfer data to and from any compatible device wirelessly. First you'll need either a bluetooth USB cable or bluetooth dongle. You can grab one at best buy for about $50 or on ebay for about $20 or so. Install the software onto your PC and you're ready to go. Just make sure BT is enabled on your phone

-I wouldn't waste my time with infrared unless you're looking to transfer images to a palm that has an IR port.... most PCs and laptops do not.

-a data cable can be used to get images off the PC. best place to look is ebay (i do a TON of shopping there....it's where i bought my nokia)

T616. Well, the phone has blue tooth enabled. My PC doesn't have blue tooth yet, that's why I was asking about it. The reason I was asking about the infrared to my palm was because I have the palm synced to my PC already and figured I could just transfer them that way. Thanks for the insight.

I am having a programmer write some thing that will allow members to send pictures directly from there phone to TheCandidBoard. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Yup, the bluetooth USB adapter worked. I like this thing. too bad the pics came out fuzzy. They looked better on the phone, but now I'm that much wiser Thanks for the suggestion.

•Bluetooth is a computing and telecommunications industry specification that describes how mobile phones, computers and PDAs can easily interconnect with each other and with home and business phones and computers using a short wireless connection.

•An open specification for seamless wireless short-range communications of data and voice between both mobile and stationary devices. For instance, it specifies how mobile phones, computers and PDAs interconnect with each other, with computers, and with office or home phones. The first generation of Bluetooth permits exchange of data up to a rate of 1 Mbps per second, even in areas with much electromagnetic disturbance. ...
