"how do i get my pictures from my verizon vx5500 to my pc?"[/color]
download bitpim -
http://www.bitpim.org/download LGUSBModemDriver_WHQL_Eng_Ver_4.9.7_All_Win7.exe -
http://www.mediafire.com/?6101t4hfja8kbm0buy a micro usb cable
or, as i had a mini usb cable, buy a gigaware (brand) mini usb to micro usb adapter, p/n 26-1528
unlike other forums recommendations,
set bitpim to the lg vx5500
set it to display filesystem
browse to the "brew" folder, my pix were in a "10888" folder
r. click each file in turn and "save" to your pc
(ps
you can likewise copy pix up to the phone)
i hope this helps someone with a no-simm-card phone, like all verizon phones.
