Thanks to
this post by
Jon Armstrong and the "
bitpim" software he refers to, I finally have a way to extract photographs from my
Sanyo PM-8200 phone without zapping them across
SprintPCS's digital data service.
I had already bought a USB data cable for the phone, so all I needed were current USB drivers for the phone and
bitpim. I did struggle for a while with the hardware until I realized that the caller ID program on my computer was grabbing access to the phone and locking bitpim out. Once I disabled the caller ID software, bitpim worked fine.
