Taking everybody's suggestions in order.

@ darius359au: it's starting to look like that is my only real option. I went to Motorola's site and they say I have to use a specific dedicated cable. The generic one I bought doesn't work.

@ August: yeah, this time I actually tried the obvious first. It was when the phone didn't show up on any drives that I started to worry.

@ Tchocky: that doesn't give much hope.:rotfl:

@ AVGWarhawk: I bought this phone specifically because it can do internet - the camera was icing. Now I never use the internet because it only does the most basic stuff. Extras cost more. And no, I can't get it to e-mail.

@ Kratos: that's what Motorola's website says as well. Unfortunately it seems I either have to use their dedicated cable, or download their software. Either one costs more money than I care to spend.

@ seafarer: my phone is one of the many bitpim doesn't support.

@ August again: I can't brush - it's not waterproof. Maybe if I just floss...

Well, now I'm off to the nearest store to see if they have the correct cable. I'm thinking I should go back to the very cheapest Nokia that just makes calls. It had features I liked more that the Motorola's. Maybe I'll spend the extra money on a real digital camera...
