Having a Problem

Computer idiot alert!

I've been wanting to transfer some pictures from my cell phone to my computer. My phone doesn't have a cute little card that pops out and plugs into the computer. I spent a bunch of money on a USB cable that plugs the phone into the computer. When I plugged it in, nothing happens. I get a 'New Hardware Found' message, but it doesn't seem to identify the hardware.

I followed different paths and found that it's listed as USB Mass Storage Device. When I plug in a flash drive it tells me what it is and lets me transfer data back and forth. With the phone I get nothing that refers to it or its location, so I can't take the pictures out of one folder and place them in another.

Any ideas?
