    You'll either need a cable to connect the phone to your computer and save them on the computer or bluetooth them to the computer.

    Your cheapest option would be ebay and search for the model of your phone, then look for data cable.

    Failing that you can buy 'dongle' thingies that bluetooth from the phone to pc.

    Either option would be a couple of quid off ebay - I have brought both before :)

    I did though find the data cable a lot easier than the bluetooth, although I do always find it funny with bluetooth of the names of other peoples stuff you pick up when searching ... why do people name themselves/phones etc such stupid things ?? lol

    Good advice from Sam and yes, a data cable is a lot easier to use. You probably have one lying arounf somewhere - they usually come with the phone when you buy one.

    There are a few options:

    1. A USB cable - This depends on your phone really. Some won't do USB transfers from the built in memory, only from any extra memory you've added (like mine). It also depends on sockets on your phone. I don't think there's a standard connector yet on the phone side.

    2. A bluetooth dongle - If your phone has bluetooth, you can buy a bluetooth dongle for your computer for about £5, or if the computer is fairly new it may have bluetooth built in already. I use this option as it saves messing about with cables.

    3. A memory card reader in the computer - If you have added a microSD card to your phone, you can get a memory card reader for your computer that plugs into a USB port, you can then put the phone's microSD card in the computer and just read it like any other folder on the system.
