no you would have to jailbreak it which is a simple program and then you can undo the jailbreak

The simple answer is that apple fcuked up the bluetooth stack on the iPhone (Cripped it) to stop tethering without paying extra for it. Operators sort of forced them to do this however. To get around it, just erm, plug a cable in.

If its phone to PC then surely just using the cable is the easiest option.

Otherwise sure, jailbreak it as per the above..

One easy way is to get a photobucket account, then use the Shozu app (free) to send photos direct from iphone to photobucket.

Alternatively, just email the photos direct to your PC!

What do you mean you're not sure if you can relock it?? You can do everything you normally do with a non-jailbroken phone and obviously a lot more..

To the original poster.. check out modmyi .com there is a lot of info over there and you might want to post your question on their site..

You dont need to install any software in the laptop to get the pics off your phone? I did the same today at work, wanted some pics off the phone, so simply plugged in the cable and waited for windows to 'find' the device. It then asked me if I wanted to open the folder to view the photo's. Simply open them up and save them on the HDD.

No Jailbreaking, No software, Simples
