"Nokiaright" AKA Bad and Buggy DRM! [Rant Alert!]

Nokia is so wonderful they decided they will enforce the copyright for all of my photos and it looks like they will enforce it so well that not even me will be able to copy them out of the device!

According to Nokia PC Suite I can't access the photos I made with my dying 7650 that I copied on my new 7710 using bluetooth. Same on the phone, I can't get them out of the phone memory and now I'm going to lose them because I'm going to sell the phone (and I'll need to format it before) Sad

Thanks Nokia for reminding me why I'm switching to Windows Mobile phones and not looking back!

HTC Touch here I come!

P.S. if somebody is wondering why I'm posting it here I don't know either, probably I got infected by raymonditis Wink

Tried copying the photos over to an MMC card, then getting them off the card via a card reader (if you have an MMC or SD reader sitting around somewhere)?

Look, no errors.

I wonder if that restriction will work on Linux.

When I bought a music CD once there was no way to rip the tracks using Windows, so I booted up Linux and had no trouble getting what I wanted.

You should give it a try if you can.

that's the first thing I thought however I found out that they can't be copied on the MMC because the protection is also on the phone. I can only view them on the phone using nokia imaging applications but I can't copy or move them anywhere else, not even with third-party tools like FExplorer or Oxigen Phone Manager.

that restriction would work also on linux because it's the phone that doesn't allow the photos being read on the PC, not only the PC suite.
