Question
Hi, I'm using a Samsung Solstice with AT&T service. I do not have texting, or else this problem would be nonexistent. I have a lot of photos on my device I would like to save to my computer. Is there a way I could get my photos to my pc without a data cable?

Answer
Kate, yes there is.  First, do you have a memory card in your Solstice?  If not you need to get one.  Att sells a 2 GB card for $15 bucks.  If you needed to purchase one, once it's in your phone you will need to copy your photos to the memory card.  Just go into the pictures like you would to look at them.  select options, then copy to memory card.  if you already have one, then make sure you have the pictures stored on the memory card.  if not follow the steps to copy them to the memory card.  Next you will need a memory card reader.  These can be bought at many places like radio shack, walmart, etc.  Att sells them for $10.  once you have all your pictures to the memory card, remove it from your phone, put it into the card read and plug into your usb drive of your computer.  open up the my computer button from your start menu and double click on the memory card.  select pictures and copy to your computer.  this should complete the transfer.  you can also use the memory card and card reader to put full music on it so you can listen on your phone.  if you are going to do that, then maybe purchase a larger memory card.  att has a 4gb for $25.  Hope this helps, let me know if you need anything else.
