Nokia N72 accessory for photos

I have a Nokia N72 mobile phone. Yes, I know it's old but it still works a treat unlike my Canon digital camera which has just died (RIP!!). I have never used the camera facility on the phone but am now considering doing so instead of buying another camera as I take very few photos. Presumably I will need an accessory to transfer any photos onto my Dell laptop. I have looked on-line but am totally confused and do not know what to order. Please can anyone advise me what to buy as I do not want to order the wrong thing. Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Look on ebay for N72 data cable, around £3.
Usual caveats apply as with everything on ebay.
One end into the phone and the other into usb on your laptop. You should get bing/bong and it *should* show up as a removable drive.Move along, nothing to see.0 -
Have you still got the box with the accesories in? It would have come with a cable to connect it to your PC. If you haven't kept the cable you can buy one for £1.29 delivered on ebay! Ebay item number 280819153338
You'll then need to download the Nokia software (free on the Nokia site): http://www.nokia.com/gb-en/support/product/nokia-suite/0 -
Thank you for your help. No idea where the box is after all these years but will take a trip to Ebay. I'm very grateful to you both.0

Perhaps the N72 is special?
My Nokia manages perfectly well without installing all that bloat, it shows up as a removable drive.Move along, nothing to see.0 -
I've just ordered the cable from Ebay. £1.29 with free delivery. What a result! Thank you all so much. Don't know what you all mean by removable drive but it sounds impressive!0

Amazing isn't it.
Just try using it with just the cable. It should work without downloading/using the Nokia Suite, as I said my Nokia manages fine without it. Nokia Suite just adds un-necessary rubbish on your laptop.Move along, nothing to see.0
