Plugged into my computer, used as a “device” went to download but literally every picture on my phone came up… from websites etc. You can use this method, which will allow you to pick and choose the ones you want. Set connection type as disk drive and connect to the PC. In my computer open the drive that is your device, usually F drive. Camera shots will be in dcim> 100MEDIA and pics from messages and email will be in the Download folder. Copy and paste to your PC.

CTIA 2011 wrap-up: EVO 3D, G2x, skinny new Galaxy Tabs, and more

We just got home from this little massive US mobile industry event you may have heard about called CTIA Wireless . It took place in Orlando this year (instead of Las Vegas as usual) and we can definitely say that Sprint was the star of the show with its HTC EVO 3D , HTC EVO View 4G , and Google Voice integration. Samsung also delivered some goodies with the Galaxy Tab 8.9 , a redesigned Galaxy Tab 10.1 , the Google Nexus S 4G for Sprint, and the Android-powered Sidekick 4G for T-Mobile. LG re-badged the Optimus 2x as the G2x on T-Mobile, and the Optimus 3D as the Thrill on AT&T. The HTC HD7 made a comeback as the Super LCD-equipped HD7S on AT&T, and Nokia gave us the Astound , nee C7, for T-Mobile. Of course, that’s just the tip of the iceberg — so if you missed the action this past week, we’ve got you covered with all the nitty gritty in the links below. Major news / product releases: AT&T agrees to buy T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom for $39 billion Google Nexus S 4G with WiMAX announced for Sprint: coming this spring for $200 Sprint, Google Voice getting tight integration, will let you use your number without porting it AT&T launches HTC HD7S with WP7 and LG’s 3D-enabled Thrill 4G Android phone Sprint’s BlackBerry 4G PlayBook portal goes live, still on track for a summer release LG’s T-Mobile G2x announced, available ‘later this spring’ (update: preloaded with Tegra Zone) T-Mobile’s LG G-Slate priced at $529.99 with a two-year contract HTC EVO 3D officially announced for Sprint Sprint makes EVO View 4G tablet official: 1.5GHz, WiMAX, 7-inch screen, and a stylus to boot LG gets official with WCP-700 Wireless Charging Pad, fails to provide pricing Samsung’s CTIA press conference posted online, skinny new Galaxy Tabs shown off (video) Hands-on / previews: Nokia Astound for T-Mobile coming April 6th for $80 (hands-on with video) Sony Ericsson Xperia Play for Verizon hands-on (video) T-Mobile Sidekick 4G by Samsung priced at $99.99 with a two-year contract, we go hands-on Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and new Galaxy Tab 10.1 hands-on: thinner than the iPad 2, dual-core power, TouchWiz 4.0 T-Mobile G2x from LG hands-on (video) HTC EVO 3D vs. EVO 4G… fight!

Verizon’s Samsung 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot launches March 31st

Though it won’t be the first Verizon LTE device to share its white-hot connection over WiFi (that honor goes to the recently-launched Thunderbolt ), Samsung’s SCH-LC11 — announced back at CES — is shaping up to be the network’s first dedicated hotspot to hit retail. We’ve just been dropped the carrier’s internal equipment guide showing a launch date in all channels (stores, telesales, and online) this coming Thursday, March 31st; pricing is an open question, but carriers tend to price these modems pretty aggressively on contract since they know they’re going to eat you alive with the data plan for the next two years. Of course, in this case, we’re more than willing to get eaten alive if it means we’ve got a 20Mbps WiFi connection in our pocket at all times.

Nokia continues reinvention, details new fonts and branding

Nokia’s current typeface — Nokia Sans — feels like one of the great constants in the consumer electronics industry, a design that instantly screams “Nokia” the moment you see it (for better or worse). That kind of strong, tight brand recognition from something as basic and simple as a character on a screen really isn’t something that you can buy — it needs to be built and cultivated over many, many years — so we’re sure that Espoo’s decision to chuck it and start fresh wasn’t taken lightly. In fact, we’re sure it wasn’t taken lightly because the company has published an 800-plus word explanation and defense of its decision to kill off Nokia Sans and replace it with Nokia Pure, a font it describes as the embodiment of “beauty in supreme usability.” Of course, it’s no coincidence that the font change comes just as Nokia’s trying to go back to the drawing board, both with its hiring of outsider Stephen Elop and its decision to phase out Symbian and add Windows Phone into the mix; sure enough, the company says that it plans to use Pure on its devices and that “it has been designed specially for mobile and digital environments.” What do you think?

Sonos Controller for Android delayed until April, heartbreak available now

Is it really the end of March ? That’s debatable, but if you’ve been wondering where Sonos’ Controller for Android app is, well… wonder no more. Rather than cutting it loose within the next week (as promised earlier in the year), the outfit’s vice president of quality has informed the world that it won’t be available until next month. The exact quote? “We know you’re anxiously awaiting the Sonos Controller for Android. Unfortunately, testing the app is taking a bit longer than we anticipated. The latest addition to our free controller line-up won’t arrive until April, but when it does, it is going to rock.” But will it rock as much as the image above? Time will tell, friends.

Android adapter concepts promise to accessorize any headset

Well, here’s a bit of a twist — a concept device designed to actually a fund a Kickstarter -like service for concept devices. While that may not exactly inspire the most confidence, these concepts from the folks behind upstart Makible are certainly unique enough to get us interested. They included the standard headphone adapter pictured above, which promises to turn any set of headphones into a proper (and eye-catching) headset, as well as an iPhone headset adapter that will let you use any iPhone headset with your Android phone (check it out after the break). Both will apparently be limited to 10,000 units apiece assuming they get the necessary funding, with the headphone adapter setting you back $20, while the iPhone version runs just $10. Want to see them become a reality? Then you can hit up the link below to get your order in.
