i have been given a samsung sgh-330 by a friend and i want to take her photos off so i can email them to her, i have a download cable and i have tried various software downloads, but nothing works, when i connect my nokia to my pc, it detects new hardware straight away, when i connect the samsung noting! its driving me nuts, does anyone have any ideas

Did your friend give you the software disk that would hve come with the phone?

no unfortunatly not ive been to samsungmobile.com and tried the downloads but nothing works, its a real pain as the phone is full of photos of her kids and i if i lose the phone ill feel guilty.

expensive but why not just text them to her?

I remember my old samsung phone was appalling for sync-software.

I'd send the photos to your nokia and use that to upload it. If we're talking more than a handful of pics, it's weighing up the matter of cost. You need the drivers CD.

thats the problem. theres loads of pics , it will cost a fortune

contact samsung and ask for a replacement software disk

get a usb dongle (mine was a tenner off ebay) & bluetooth them onto your pc. you can also transfer pics, music (if the phone has an mp3 player) from your pc onto your phone. samsungs software is crap anyway.

try sending them via infrared... find your infrared panel on your computer and match it to the one on your phone. pick send by IRDA and off they'll pop... free too.

unfortunatly the phone isnt that sopisticated, no bluetooth or infared, so unless i can get a samsung disc that came with the phone it looks like im snookered

try downloading whatever software you need off the net.... go to the samsung website or try www.download.com

My best advice is that if you cant find the right software online for the samsung then it would be a good idea just to ask around all the mobile phone shops, best not to go for the brand shops like carphone warehouse or phones4u, it to go to a private dealer, its not uncommon that they will help you out, some may add a small charge but some may do it for free, its always worth a try, just out of curiousity because im not too familiar with samsung fones, does each phone model have its own individual software disk, or is it possible that one samsung disk could work for several models?

Hi there,I think this is where you will find the solution to your problem. This page contains the software that you require and also the manual for the phone itself. I hope it will be of some use to you. http://au.samsungmobile.com/en/phone/manual_software/manual_software.jsp

thanks for all the advice guys, unfortunatly nothing works, ive tried all the downloads on offer i can find, i even found an instalation disc for a similar model, it works but not with my model, sgh-330 . apparently the thing i need is the usb-driver for my model?? i think ill take rocks advice and start trawling around the local phone shops.
