Camera phone...take a photo then what?

    I'm new to camera phones but have been messing around with one recently (Nokia 3200)

    I've taken a photo with it and now want to email it (or otherwise get it onto a PC) to myself. So I tried to send it via email and it just sits there in the outbox not going anywhere.

    I presume this has something to do with GPRS which the phone is supposed to have. On the main screen there's an O2 button that when you press it says GPRS unavailable.

    So obviously I need GPRS to get the photo off the camera (without using cables etc.) so how do I get it working? Or if I don't need it, how do I get the photo from the phone to my PC?

    Cheers.

    GPRS should be setup as default on a new phone, if not, go to o2.ie and there's an option somewhere to have a message sent to your phone which will set up GPRS for you.

    You can get data cables for nokias to hook them up to your pc, or if you phone has bluetooth get a bluetooth dongle for your pc to exchange files

    contact O2 on 1740 to ensure you are enabled for GPRS services
    - the 3200 doesn't have a 'real' email client (i.e. that you could attach the image to and compose an email) although you could MMS it to an e-mail address or your O2 Picture Album (although expensive enough if you do it regularly)

    3200 doesn't have Bluetooth, but it has infrared so if you get / have an Infrared adapter you could send the images to your PC as a file transfer (if your PC OS supports Infrared) - Maplins had one on offer when I was in their D1 store today was around Eur 25-30ish (only glanced at it) here's detials on it from their UK site

    genuine Nokia cables can be very expensive - maybe someone can mention a 3rd party source (apart from eBay - that's a given)...

    you can also get at images using the PC Suite's Phone Browser to look at files (including images) stored on the phone - you can create a PC Suite connection via Infrared or a Cable

    Thanks for the tips.

    I've trawled through the O2 site and according to this page:
    here

    I have to text 1747 to activate MMS. So I'll try that and see what happens.

    1747 is the support number for O2, so you'll have to ring them instead of texting.

    <edit>If it is set up on your a/c and your phone needs the settings, go the Nokia settings page for the 3200

    They will be sent instantly to your phone and you just save them</edit>
