How can full resolution photos be transferred?

[gbynum]

First, I'm WinMo ignorant. I acquired a used Alltel Touch which I'm using (on Alltel) as a phone and some email retrieval; Excel mobile is nice, too with some of my engineering spreadsheets there. I have no messaging plan.

I've succeeded in getting the camera to work, and it is saving about 300kB files suggesting the camera is saving jpg in full resolution. The only way I've seen to get them to the desktop is via email where they are resized to 640x480, about 30kB.

I've the phone setup to save photos to the memory card which is not apparently sync'd with activesync. I don't have a card reader handy to read the 8G card, and am not sure if I need to power down to remove it either.

SO ... what are best options? What I'd REALLY like is to have activesync include the card ... is that possible with Outlook 98 and Activesync 4.5 beta (last to mutually work). Another good choice would be to email in full resolution. And just the ability to copy from card to system memory (and back) would be ok.

All are probably easy for one knowledgable with WinMo ... I do know how to read <g> if someone can just link to something that will answer this.

Thanks!

Simple enough ...

Click HERE and copy this to your phone, its WinRAR for pocket PCs (AKA your phone)
Once on your phone run it to install/use
Find the pictures on your phone and put them into a rar file
Either email it or save the *.rar file to your phone and sync to your PC from the folder designated to sync

OR ...

Via activesync you should have the option to "browse" that will open the phone and your SD card and if so, just browse to where your images are on your phone through your desktop and copy and paste them from the phone to the PC

Open pictures & videos in your programs folder,click on menu and scroll down till you see tools,click on options and select original size for sending pictures via email.

Thanks guys! The explore option had been tried before, but it is a little different on the desktop than I expected ... I can't go "up" from the initial "My Documents" as I had tried, have to double click on "My Windows Mobile" instead. Up works on the phone. So that is great. Thanks for pointing out how "blind I am".

Re changing size sent, I now understand that and can switch as needed.

Re RAR ... I use my phone for work, and they frown on unregistered shareware; I've not found a free client, and WinZIP meets my needs and is registered.

I also use usbtopc and it works with my sd card as a flash drive when it's plugged in,
so it doesn't even use activesync.
I hardly ever use activesync.
If you want it,
let me know.
