blackberry storm pitfalls, blog 2

If you take a picture using the blackberry camera you MUST set the options to save to the memory card. If you allow it to stay set on the device memory (Default) you can never get the pictures off.

Methods attempted to remove pics from device memory
  1. browse storm using windows explorer - pictures are encrypted (invisible files)
  2. Send using bluetooth - One picture succeeds after a LOT of work and correct timing.
  3. Send Folder using bluetooth - You cant send/move folders
  4. Migrate pictures to memory card - option not available
  5. Use blackberry's media manager on desktop software - Doesn't exist for the storm

So change your default save location to the memory card. It pretty much doesn't make sense taking pictures otherwise.
