Finally downloaded phone's pictures

Yes, I know I'm not the world's most technically literate guy but I'm also not totally stupid (I think). I tried for the past few weeks to learn all the features of my new phone. Heck, I even bought it to be just that - a phone; but today, if you want bigger keys, brighter and bigger screens, you have to go the camera route. The cute guy selling me the phone apologised for it 'only' having a 2 mega pixel camera (ha! that's the size of my first digital camera) - so having pictures and video capabilities in my pocket this past month has meant that I've taken pictures BUT COULDN'T FIND A WAY TO DOWNLOAD THEM BACK TO MY COMPUTER. I researched it (you know, read the manual, viewed the 2 CDs it came with) and emailed folk, even Motorola - still no reply - and asked knowledgeable looking young people in phone shops, but alas, no answer. Yesterday an upgrade came on-line, I downloaded it and HEY PRESTO I can now download very good quality pictures here on my computer from my slim mobile phone. I now love the phone. Until yesterday I looked upon this device as yet another testimony of the fact I'm getting too old too fast. Today I admire its capabilities.


All these pictures are from the phone: Our friend Kay's Toowoomba garden (now 18 months old)

Beautiful sand dunes did their work of protecting the shore.
