    Hey all,
    Having trouble with this at the mo. Friend of mine has a sony ericsson w890i and we wanted to upload pics from this phone to my laptop with the usb cable but we've been getting error message each time we try to connect the usb to the laptop and it just says usb 'malfunctioned'.

    A software cd came with the phone originally but my friend has lost this. We downloaded something off the sony site that looked like it might be the same thing but it didn't make any difference.

    Don't think that either of us have bluetooth either.

    Is there any way at all for us to upload these pics?

    Would appreciate any help, am all out of ideas now.

    Have you set the USB settings to mass storage on the phone. Are you getting the error on different laptops?

    Have you tried searching for Bluetooth options? There should be an option in the control panel if it's there. What's the laptop model?

    Also the photos are most likely stored on a microSD card. You could try a USB card reader like this:

    Make sure your PC is on and running normally. If necessary, close any running or open applications that might restart or shutdown your computer while you're transferring stuff
