How to get photos out of the Treo 700p?

[Reedie1965]

I just purchased my 700p Friday (finally!). The Verizon sales person told me that there is no way to download or otherwise print a photo from the 700p without paying 25 cents to e-mail it to myself (or buy the messaging package at $5/month). Is that true? Is there an application that lets one access the photos and download them to the computer? Or can you save them to the card and put the card into a device that puts it on a PC?

Open up Palm Desktop, even if you are syncing to Outlook, and select Media to see your photos. These sales reps don't know squat about the phones.

If you're talking a lot of pics, the card reader is the way to go. Most new laptops come with them built in and you can get an external one cheap at Best Buy or someplace like that.

Got that right.

Thank you both for the help.

Since when does it cost .25 to email pictures to yourself?

[Reedie1965]

Apparently with Verizon it costs .10 for each incoming or outgoing text message and .25 for each picture message unless you buy a text package for $5.00/month. Since I send only 2 or 3 text messages a month and haven't needed to send picture messages I elected not to purchase the package.

I have a text plan and any one else who does it shouldn't cost anything unless you go over your plan.
