How does one transfer photos from a camera phone to his/her computer?

I send picture messages to my email address. I think all camera phones can do that.

From the Samsung website, it looks as though your phone is Bluetooth-compatible, or you can buy a data-transfer cable which connects your phone to a USB port on your computer.

Or you can just email directly from your phone, as has been suggested.

some phones use microSD. You can get a card and plug it into a $10 adaptor.

I know it's been said twice or whatever, but I find the easiest way really is to send a multimedia message to "youremailaddress[AT]domain.blah"

Yeah sure, you pay for the message to get sent, but then it's on any computer you check your mail on ^_^

And if you don't have an internet connection, you can't see what I'm typing ^_^

Why not just get a proper digital camera?

A usb data cable (or a bluetooth fob) is cheaper.

My Samsung has that. They are so tiny and fragile though.

Just go to a cellphones store and ask for a "transfer cable",
they'll ask the model and give you one for your phone :)
