Photo's on Your Mobile

There are many different ways of getting your prized pictures off your mobile so you can print and share them. This tutorial will show you three of the most common methods of retrieving your images, starting with Bluetooth.

Bluetooth

No, it's not a new piece of dental equipment. It's a very clever way of connecting a number of different devices to each other. Many phones have now got Bluetooth and it is an essential way of sending files and information from mobile phones to other devises such as your home computer or another mobile phone. You can back up your phone numbers, challenge your friend to a 2 player game or send files to and from your computer.

If your home computer doesn't have Bluetooth, then you will need a devise like this [belkin 10m bluetooth]. Once you have set up your phone and your computer, you will be able to send files to and from your phone at around 25 - 60k per second.

Email

Many mobile phones on today's market will allow you to send emails. As well as your standard text message and multimedia text message, emailing is a useful way of sending messages and content to people while you are on the move. When sending your images via email you must be careful that the images don't get resized, your phone should ask you before attaching the image to your message 'if you would like to resize the image to speed up sending the message' you should select 'no' to this option as the final message will contain an image that will be too small to print.

Memory Sticks and Compact Flash

Mobile phones are starting to merge with a number of existing devices such as digital cameras and digital music players, and having the ability to boost your phones onboard memory by as much as 2gb is very handy indeed. Each phone manufacturer uses different cards, Sony Ericsson phones use Sony's own memory sticks and Nokia use various types from mini SD to micro SD. We recommend www.mobymemory.com for compact memory. Once you have your phone's photos stored on your compact memory, you will need an adapter to view them on your home computer [like this one].
