MOBILedit!
I bought a new mobile phone at the Lidl supermarket: The Motorola V220. Unfortunately it turned out that the digital camera in this set was of little use to me: There was no way to transfer the pictures to my PC!
The phone does have a USB-connector, but no cable was provided for that. Such a cable can be bought, but you’ll also need the right software. According to the documentation “Mobile Phonetools 2.0″ is needed. This includes the software and the cable. However, it is not for sale in the phone shops. They only have “Mobile Phonetools 3.0″, but they cannot guarantee that this works with the V220. And they also won’t take it back if it turns out that it does not work. The price is 60 Euro. Quite an amount to spend if you cannot be sure it will work. So I decided against that.
It was not too difficult to find a suitable cable. I bought one for 20 Euros in a local electronics shop. But I still needed the software. I tried to find it on the World Wide Web and on Usenet, but failed…
But now I have the solution: MOBILedit! is a universal program for reading and editing the data of almost any mobile phone, including the Motorola V220.
So now I can finally make a snapshot and put it in my weblog on the same day.
By the way: The camera in the V220 doesn’t allow you to make high-quality pictures, don’t expect anything better than a simple snapshot. For more advanced photos I still need to use my ‘old fashioned’ analog camera.
MOBILedit! is not freeware. You can download it for free and test whether it is compatible with your phone without risk. But after a trial period you’ll have to buy an activation code on the Internet to make it work again. The price is 19 Euros. If you pay with your credit card, the code is emailed to you and you can use it again within five minutes.
