i have successfully finished every step in this tutorial for bitpim: http://tutorials.thephonemall.net/aud8910pic.htm

however, my only problem is that there is no 'photo' section when i expand the camera tree of the filesystem view. i have plenty of pictures on the phone, and i also tried uploading a picture to it (bitpim confirmed it was successfully uploaded) but it did not show on the phone itself even after a reboot.

if anyone has an idea as to why there is no 'photo' section, an idea on how to retrieve it, OR knows of other means to get pictures off the 8910 besides using bitpim, PLEASE reply. thanks! :)
 
also: i can see the picture names (default PIX #N1, N2, etc) in CameraInfo.dat , but of course a dat file is not what im looking for ;)
 
final update LOL

i was getting frustrated so i ended up just expanding every single column and going thru each one, i found my phone's pictures under

brew > shared > jpeg

note to any other 8910 users, the tutorial states that the pictures will be located under camera > photo --- this seems to be false. to add/recieve, go under the column as i have stated
 
Didn't work for me. Sometimes there is the choice to overwrite, sometimes not. When the option is available, and I try, I get a long error message which might as well be writen in Greek as far as I'm concerned. So far, all I can get to work is the download of pics as dinker describes.
 
Just drop them in brew/shared. Go the AXCESS APPS, keep going to the "shopping cart" screen, CLR out and wait for error message. Reboot the phone and using the phone Menu go to Media.

You need to use a little memory as possible so resize downloaded wallpaper to 125x148 at 400 pixels. Save them as *.png. 640x480 takes up a lot of memory.
 
I know there's some risk with transferring data to the phone, but is there when you're "passive" and only copying the photo files off the phone to your PC?
 
I have never suffered any adverse effects of "playing" with the 8910 file system. I have uploaded and deleted many, many ringtones and wallpapers. I change them about every 3 days depending on the mood of the day. :)

The only caution is DO NOT delete photographs you have taken with the camera using the data cable. Always delete photographs using the phone.

In any case, the risk is totally yours. Some folks have had success while others have totally wrecked their phones. It's your call!!
