I did a search for you and found the following post by Nancy Huston on Howardforums. You can get Bitpim on SourceForge.net

"GETTING YOUR PHOTOS FROM LGVX5600 TO pc

VICTORY!! FINALLY!! I have just gotten all my photos off my phone and onto my PC thanks to all you smart people out there. My phone is the LGvx5600.

I cannot thank you enough. It was a joint effort between your advice to download bitpim, and the advice of some frustrated person in the verizonwireless community.

So first, DOWNLOAD BITPIM!

I opened bitpim.

I Connected my phone via the USB cord. ON THE BITPIM SCREEN, at the bottom, was "other CDMA phone on COM3 detected). That meant my phone was seen (my jargon, go with me here!) AND TOLD ME WHICH PORT it was seen on!

Then I went to EDIT, then under that 'SETTINGS.'

I CHOSE LGvx9100(env2). (choosing LXvx5500 or 5400 did not work for me, it gave me photos in text format)

Under that, I CHOSE COM3 for my port.

NEXT TO THOSE 2 CHOICES IS PHONE WIZARD. CLICK ON PHONE WIZARD!

Under MANUFACTURERS, CLICK ON LG.

NEXT TO THAT SECTION IS THE LIST OF ALL THEIR PHONES - CLICK ON LGvx9100 (env2)

Then at the bottom CLICK 'NEXT' - NOW a PORT OR PORTS SHOW UP. CHOOSE THE SAME PORT THAT BITPIM SAYS IT FOUND YOUR PHONE ON - for me that was COM3 - then CLICK NEXT

IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT - next box ('Summary') DO NOT CLICK ON 'DETECT PHONE' !!!

INSTEAD...JUST CLICK ON 'FINISH' AT THE BOTTOM!

and then CLICK 'OK' on the settings box that you now see. You're almost there!

NOW - go up to the top left to 'DATA' and the dropdown to 'GET PHONE DATA' and click on it!

New box will show 3 columns. Left column of boxes, CHECK THE 'WALLPAPER' BOX. This gets all your photos.

DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE OTHER 2 COLUMNS, don't bother choosing 'add" etc, ignore those - those are bitpim's own settings.

note: I tried getting my contacts transferred at the same time as the photos and got an error message, so I'll worry about those later. For now, JUST GET YOUR PHOTOS!

Back to that:

At the lower left of the bitpim screen a RED CIRCLE APPEARS - this means BITPIM is now working on it.

WHEN IT TURNS GREEN...

CLICK on MEDIA and - for me, several choices came up including - oddly - two 'IMAGES' - the lst one was empty. The SECOND 'IMAGES' - for me, THERE THEY ALL WERE!!!! MORE THAN 90 PHOTOS OF MY LITTLE GRANDSON GOING BACK TWO YEARS!

I saved each photo, one at a time.

I right-clicked each one, then clicked SAVE, and saved each one into a Desktop folder. That way when it was through, I could look at my phone and make sure I got every single photo, and I did!

HALLELUJAH! That said, SHAME ON LG AND ESPECIALLY VERIZON WIRELESS for any of us to have to go through so much ridiculous b.s. to get something they advertised we could have! I have been trying to get these pictures from my phone since September. In that time, I spent hours, literally, in their helpful "chat" screen getting wrong information, including the purchase of a $30 completely useless simcard thing.

thank you everyone who is so much smarter than I am about these things!
