http://www.jamesraposa.com/index.cgi e dot dot dot - a mostly about the Internet weblog by James Raposa en http://www.jamesraposa.com/index.cgi/2006/11/26#samsung_sph_a640 I recently had to obtain another cell phone after losing the one I had for years while on a business trip.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />After about a half-hour, I realized that other than emailing pictures or uploading pictures using Sprint's pay-per-month service, <B>there was no other way to get pictures off of the phone</B>.<br /><br />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."<br /><br />"No", I said, "much the same way I don't ask if a car I'm buying comes with a steering wheel."<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Three cheers for the internet!!! <img src="http://www.jamesraposa.com/images/beer_cheers_30x18.png" border=0><img src="http://www.jamesraposa.com/images/beer_cheers_30x18.png" border=0><img src="http://www.jamesraposa.com/images/beer_cheers_30x18.png" border=0><br /><br />Four thumbs down for Sprint!!! <img src="http://www.jamesraposa.com/images/thumbs_down_19x19.gif" border=0><img src="http://www.jamesraposa.com/images/thumbs_down_19x19.gif" border=0><img src="http://www.jamesraposa.com/images/thumbs_down_19x19.gif" border=0><img src="http://www.jamesraposa.com/images/thumbs_down_19x19.gif" border=0><br /><!--dl_filename:samsung_sph_a640.zip--> http://www.jamesraposa.com/index.cgi/2006/11/26#auto___new_celebrity_jewelry_coupon_codes <h3>Latest Affiliate Deals on Celebrity &amp; Imitation Jewelry from Emitations.com</h3><br />If you haven't already done so, please make sure to post Emitation's latest affiliate coupons shown below and available in the Coupon &amp; Deal database in ShareaSale.
