Bypass Sprint - Download PhoneCam Pics To Your PC
I recently had to obtain another cell phone after losing the one I had for years while on a business trip.
For a variety of reasons, like the two $150 rebates I had earned for keeping my previous phones for more than two years, and the $30 mail-in rebates, I chose Sprint's offering of the Samsung SPH-A640 camera phone.
In one fell swoop, I could replace my phone and my wife's ancient phone, basically for free, with a sleek, black flip model, that has a camera to boot.
I specifically asked the salesman if there were any charges related to using the camera, and he said no, as long as we didn't email pictures to anyone.
Once home, like any technophile worth his salt, I immediately began to mess with the phone and, in an unusual move, decided to pore through the phone's user manual.
After about a half-hour, I realized that other than emailing pictures or uploading pictures using Sprint's pay-per-month service, there was no other way to get pictures off of the phone.
Naturally I stormed back to the Sprint store to complain, and when I confronted the salesman about there being no way to download pictures to my PC, his reply was "You didn't ask about that."
"No", I said, "much the same way I don't ask if a car I'm buying comes with a steering wheel."
Anyway, I decided to keep the phone and after about an hour of searching, uncovered all the information I needed to not only download the pictures I take to my PC, but much more as well.
Here's a zip file with everything you'll need... drivers, Bitpim software, utility programs, and a link for purchasing the data cable required too. Pay particular attention to the two webpages included. They pretty much give you step-by-step instructions.
Three cheers for the internet!!! 
Four thumbs down for Sprint!!!
