According to market research performed by the NPD Group, the Motorola RAZR was the nation's best-selling mobile phone from 2005 to 2008. Originally released in 2004, the RAZR features a thin, sleek design and built-in camera. Similar to most phones, you can transfer pictures from your RAZR to your PC by using the handset's designated USB cable. Before transferring the images to your PC, save your pictures to your memory card.

Save Pictures to Memory Card

Step 1

Press the "---" button, which is the main menu key. Select the "Pictures & Video" option and then choose "My Pictures." Select the "Saved to Phone" option to view all of the photographs that are stored in your phone's memory.

Step 2

Select the images that you want to transfer from your phone to your memory card. After selecting the images, press the "Menu" key.

Step 3

Select the "Move" option and then choose "Memory Card." Your selected images are transferred to your external memory.
