Question
A friend of mine ownes a Nokia 6085 whose screen is busted. She has invaluable pictures of her late husband on it. Is there any way to go in blind and bluetooth them to another phone (I think one article said no) ,or store them to the SIM card and put into another phone .If I just had pictures of screen to screen steps how to get to photo options , I might be able to copy them at Walgreens on their photo shop??

Answer
If the phone is broken and you can't view the screen, there is no way to retrieve anything off of the device. You can try getting a hold of another 6085 and see if you can recreate the steps to get to the pictrues, but it is very unlikely that you will be ale to do this. You can't send pictures via bluetooth and without the ability to view the screen and without appropriate software, not even your carrier can get these off of the device for you. If it means that much to her, she may want to consider getting the screen repaired and then get the pictures off of it as quickly as possible and put them into a safe place (like a SD card and/or on the computer or a DVD). I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
