It all depends on what connections you have on your PC

Yeah, as mentioned it's solely dependent on what features your phone has.

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, IR are your best bets depending on what your PC has and how open that kind of thing is on your phone. I can access network shares from mine, so I just connect to the wireless network and copy the files across.

Emailing them to yourself is the next best option, but that'll probably cost money so could get expensive.

There are photo hosting things that you can "upload" to via MMS as well, i believe.

Some laptops have infrared, desktops don't.

Most don't, but some do. I had a really old machine, first gen Pentium and it did. Built right into the case. Absolutely useless to me, mind.

cash converters etc sometimes have a bargain bucket, with various leads and chargers..

Sorry to be a pedant.

You're right though, they're really rare.

IR on laptops will become rarer too I guess, what with bluetooth and now wireless USB, especially with the pathetic speed of IR.

I know, there's always one. :rotfl:

I had a motherboard once that came with a 3.5" drive for reading SIM cards! I thought it was a cool bonus. How many times did I use it (even though I installed it into the case)? Not once. :rotfl: :rotfl:

if you have bluetooth on it and on the pc,you can use nokia pc suit to send them,if I remember rightly.
As someone else said, if it has a card you could stick it in a card reader and just drag and drop which is what we do with our phones these days . You can get readers for SD cards in poundland but the mini SD card needs a little adapter aswell.
