Verizon's Samsung SCH-a610 and Datapilot

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

I'm thinking of getting my daughter the above phone when she comes home
from Japan, since she's used to having a camera phone. I know her other
phone was better; she had a flash card that she could use to transfer
pictures and movies to her computer with.

I'm reading that to move your pictures on the a610, you need to mail the
pictures to yourself at 25 cents a pop. Datapilot makes a data cable
that fits the a610. It says it has image editing capabilities, so does
that mean it can retrieve pictures from the phone too? I think like my
other daughter's Motorola phone, the wallpaper upload has been disabled.
There's also a ringtone composer, but I'm guessing uploading ringtones
have been disabled on the Verizon phones to force you to use GIN
ringtones.

To me, if she's going to be forced to use airtime and pay extra to use
the camera, we might as well wait til the phone capabilities are
somewhat decently up to par with what she has now, and instead of the
a610 we should just get the SCH-a650, the other current 2-1 special
that's camera-less and cheaper.
