Transferring Pictures and Contacts from LG Cosmos
Feb 3rd
I had to transfer my contacts from my old Verizon LG Cosmos cellphone (LG Cosmos VN250) to my new one, and move my photos (pictures) from my LG Cosmos to my PC (Windows XP) – but I couldn’t find a simple, quick and clear “how to”… so I’m writing one.
This article describes how to get contacts, pictures, sounds and other multimedia from your LG Verizon Cosmos phone onto your Windows computer (Windows XP and probably Windows Vista and Windows 7).
WHAT YOU NEED TO MOVE FILES TO YOUR WINDOWS COMPUTER
Your Phone’s Charger/USB Data Cord
A microSD card (picture | buy one)
LG USB Modem Driver (download from LG.com)
GETTING YOUR PC READY FOR THE FILE TRANSFER
The first thing you need to do is download and install the LG USB Modem Driver, click the link above and look for the Download LG USB Modem Driver link. Your computer should be ready now. Make sure the driver is compatible with your version of Windows.
Next you’ll be moving the data from your phone into your Windows computer.
MOVING YOUR DATA TO YOUR WINDOWS PC
- Swing open the USB and microSD covers on the sides if your phone (USB is on bottom side edge and the microSD is on the right side edge)
- Unplug the USB plug from the power cord adapter and plug one end into your phone (the same place you charge it) and the other end into your computer’s USB port (your phone’s battery begins charging)
- Put the microSD card into the phone’s microSD port
- If this is the first time you’ve used a microSD card you’ll have to move your media to the card. From looking at the folders I see on my screen it looks like you can transfer contact info, pictures, ringtones and sounds from your phone to your PC
- From your phone’s main screen press your round OK button, then press #9, scroll down to 3. Tools, scroll up to *. USB Mass Storage
- A window pops up saying its connecting to your computer, then another window pops up and informs you that you are connected, and not to disconnect during the transfer.
Now you can set the phone down in a good spot and on your computer you should see either Windows Explorer listing the folders found on your micro SD card, a Windows prompt on what to do with the files on the micro SD card, or a program may open – all depending on the options you’ve selected as defaults in Windows.
From here you can save the pictures and your contacts on your computer somewhere you can find them.

What the Heck is a Droid Phone?
Nov 18th
Maybe you are shopping for an Android Phone or maybe you want a Droid phone. Maybe you wonder…
What the heck is a droid phone?
What the heck is an android phone?
Aren’t they the same thing – droid, android?
Those are good questions, and if you asked me I would have said I wasn’t sure. Then I ran into www.DroidDoes.com and my impression was that Verizon had made a phone with a purposely close name to Android in order to capitalize on the wildly popular Android phones, but that couldn’t be farther from the case.
WHAT IS A DROID PHONE?
I found the answer through Google on the Wikipedia website, and evidently the Droid is a renamed Motorola Milestone and the name Droid is licensed to Verizon from Lucasfilm (can you say Star Wars?). So, Droid is AN Android phone made by Motorola and exclusively using Verizon Wireless as the provider – especially since Verizon Wireless is the one licensed to use the very cool name DROID.

But let’s see some hardware, actual phones running Google’s Android – here are the Best Android phones as rated by DigitalTrends.com, nice!
With the HTC EVO 4G plastered all over the TV in commercials I’ve been seeing, Android might be seeing a big boost in holiday sales this year. Will they beat the iPhone, Blackberry and other smart phones? Probably if the current trend continues!
