RE: samsung cellphone SGH-D500

Jan 18, 2009 5:48AM PST

I have had this for years, bought in France but i have never been able to get a usb cable to transfer photos to the computer. I believe i have ultra violet and I know i have bluetooth, but i do not know how to use them for transferring photos or how to get computer to accept them. The instruction manuel is in Franch but i am not. The easiest, I believe is to use a cable. I want to transfer baby/child photos. I have tried 3 generic cables and have blown my software 3 times (it was off for a week each time). I am not a technician, I need detail. I live in the Caribbean so not easy to just go to a store. Can any one help me please??

Unfortunately, I don't have a whole lot of working knowledge with our line of Phones. I do know consumer electronics, IT and even some appliance information.

One suggestion I can think of is to email those pictures to yourself if that is possible.

Otherwise, try the C|Net forums for phones. I apologize, but I just don't know.

THANKS, BUT IF I COULD E MAIL IT TO MYSELF, THEN I COULD DOWNLOAD FROM MY PHONE TO A COMPUTER AND THAT IS WHAT I NEED THE CABLE OR ATTACHMENT FOR ... THE PHONE HAS BLUE TOOTH BUT MY COMPUTER IS A CLONE AND DOESN'T ... MY PHONE HAS ULTRA VIOLET, I BELIEVE, BUT AGAIN MY COMPUTER DOES NOT. I NEED A SAMSUNG MANUFACTURED CABLE TO BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD TO MY COMPUTER WITHOUT BLOWING THE SOFTWARE. NOW I WILL SAY THAT I BELIEVE MY PHONE HAS CONSIDERABLE MEMORY, AT LEAST 1 GIG, I HAVE 500 ADDRESSES AND THE MEMORY IS NOT 20% UTILIZED, AS WELL AS MEMORY FOR PHOTOS, VIDEOS, MUSIC, GAMES, ETC, ETC. BELIEVE THIS IS WHY IT WON'T WORK WITH GENERIC CABLE. HAVE US ADDRESS TO DELIVER TO AND PAY PAL SO CAN BUY, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE I CAN LOCATE TRUSTFUL STORE.
