Title: An Odd Request
Post by: OOZ662 on June 08, 2009, 03:03:34 PM

I just recently got myself an iPhone, but I've been using a regular cell phone for quite a long time now. I've got a ton of pictures stored on that phone's MicroSD card that I'd like to port over. Problem is, the iPhone's bluetooth doesn't support file transfer from what I've read. Also, I don't have a data cable for my old phone.

I have a card reader, but no MicroSD>SD adapter. Can anybody point to where I can get one without buying a new memory card that I have no use for?

I have a bluetooth dongle for the PC, but the last time I installed the software it came with, Windows Explorer just about bled to death. Personally, I haven't found an alternative. Has anyone else?

The old phone was deactivated, so I can't send the pictures through the data network (and oh lord, would that take forever...)

You can get them fairly cheap on ebay...

All I've been able to find are the combos. I suppose I could buy a 128MB card with the adapter, just seems like a waste.

I got one at Radio Shack. Once you load them on your computer you can synch you iPhone and it will load the pictures onto your iPhone. A window will pop up and you just make the choice.
