Inserting anything other than a USB cable into the phone seems to be a no-go. There is one slightly wider and thinner recess, but no metal is in it. It looks like a slightly less dumb model would use the same outer case and a somewhat different inner case. >From lsusb: Bus 002 Device 007: ID 04e8:6640 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd Usb Modem Enumerator [root at localhost ~]# file /dev/bus/usb/002/007 /dev/bus/usb/002/007: character special I found my Service Guide. My phone is a Samsung Gusto 2. A link near http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/gusto-2/#Camera,%20Photos%20&%20Videos tells me that Samsung Gusto SCH-u360's, among others, do not support picture transfer. Anyone know better? Anyone know for sure whether bitpim would work if I could make it go?
