Default Cell phone as a camera viewer?

Anybody know if there are any cell phones that uses the Verizon network that you can use to down load your pictures from a USB trail camera??

Thanks

The old Palm Treo's had an sd reader but not sure about the new ones.
Most new cells have micro SD readers these days..

Not sure. If you have a regular digital point and shoot camera, and it is the same file format jpg. etc, you should be able to upload them to your camera, or at least view them. I have a kodak point and shoot, but its a different format than my trophy cam (jpg). I have a sony vid cam though so I will try and upload to that tomorrow when I go out.

Another thing I would watch is the camera phones often don't have the memory capacity or it could take a lot of time to send them and they won't be as good as the product you would get out of going straight to a reader or computer. Tradeoffs I guess.

my camera and my card use mini-sd cards(the camera needs an adaptor) I carry a 4gb in the phone and a 4gb in the camera and I just pop the one from the cam into the phone to see whats on it, if its something worthwhile, I'll just swap cards and view at home, the speed of the camera downloading and the phone uploading is too slow for me, plus verizon likes using some goofy software as well...hope that helps

The mini B to mini B usb cables are cheap. Give one a shot and see if it works.

I am going to give that a shot. I am pretty sure I can use my sanyo camera I just thought it would be more convenient to use the cell.
