Wrong thinking, Val. She doesn't NEED to hook the phone to the computer
to get the pictures......

Plug up to a 1GB MicroSD memory card into the MicroSD slot under that
long rubber plug next to the internal antenna. The gold contacts of the
card go towards the keyboard side of the open E815. It's spring loaded,
so push it all the way in against the spring's resistance, then release
it and it will stay in the phone. Close the rubber plug back up to
protect the card and its reader.

Now, open up the "Pictures" thumbnail page where you see the little
picture and filename/date/size of each picture. Pick the picture you
want to MOVE from the phone's limited internal memory to the new MicroSD
memory card by simply highlighting it.

Click the center top button over the ring keys to open the PICTURES MENU.
Scroll down to MOVE and click OK.
When the MOVE menu pops up, highlight TRANS-T-Flash and click the
SELECT button. This moves the pictures from the internal memory to the
MicroSD card you installed, freeing internal memory and making the
pictures MUCH safer because when the E815 croaks, your pictures will NOT
BE LEFT ON IT ON ITS WAY BACK TO THE REPAIR CENTER, where you'll never
see them again!

To move ALL the pictures from internal memory to the TRANS-T-Flash card,
again open the Pictures thumbnail page and click the center menu button.
Scroll down until you see MARK ALL. A check will appear next to all the
pictures. IF ANY OF THESE PHOTOS ARE USED FOR YOUR PHONE DESKTOP PICTURE
HIGHLIGHT IT AND MENU CLICK UNMARK! You CANNOT move any picture or sound
files the phone's OS uses to the removeable MicroSD card. Click the menu
button and select MOVE MARKED FILES. Pick TRANS-T-Flash as the
destination for all the pictures and click OK. I moves them all out of
the phone onto the root directory of the MicroSD flash card.

Press the red hangup button to get back to the main menu window.

Now that all the pictures are CONVEEEEENIENTLY located on the REMOVEABLE
MicroSD card, open the rubber plug back up, phone still running is ok,
and, again, push in on the MicroSD card to release it so you can remove
it. Plug the MicroSD card into your SD adapter and plug the adapter into
your SD slot in your monstrous desktop mainframe. Windoze (or MAC I
suppose) will see a new drive and you can move or copy the pictures to
the hard drive on the mainframe. No cable is necessary.

You can move videos/MP3/etc. all the same way...

Be sure you don't buy more than a 1GB MicroSD card for this phone. It
doesn't support any of the larger-than-1GB MicroSD cards.....(snif)

Now that we've moved the pictures to the safety of the MicroSD card, with
copies on the mainframe....(c;....let's take pictures DIRECTLY to the
MicroSD card, eliminating this nonsense.....

From the main menu, press the camera button turning on the camera.
Press the center MENU button over the ring and pick SWITCH STORAGE
DEVICES from the menu. When the storage devices menu pops up, pick
TRANS-T-Flash and click OK so the camera stores ALL pictures, movies,
etc. on the MicroSD card DIRECTLY the first time. Storing pictures on
the phone's unsafe internal memory is crazy! If the phone croaks, you
lose them all!

You'll notice you always have 999 pictures remaining on the camera. The
stupid thing will not register the other few thousand as it can only
count to 999....(c; Bug!

Never try to run MobiTV or other complex buggy softwares on the E815. I
trashed TWO of them watching MobiTV. I cancelled cellphone TV and put
MobiTV on my laptop from AT&T.....much better on REAL broadband! NO more
BALKING!
