If memory serves, I remember connecting those phones to WinXP laptops via USB and being able to transfer files without issue. Not sure about anything newer, YMMV. On Tue, Apr 2, 2024 at 11:24 AM Bob Shuster via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
I dug out a box of old cellphones yesterday, and the first ones I grabbed were Audiovox “smart” phones that have Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition on them (version 4.21.1088) and amazingly the batteries still hold a charge *and* they still have some data on them that I’d like to copy over before giving these away. Does anyone know how I might access the files on these? They have both Bluetooth and USB (mini-B.) I can connect to a modern Mac but while the device connects I cannot access the file system on the phone. I do not have easy access to a Windows computer. Any thoughts? Will these just show up if I connect to a Windows 10/11 computer?
Also, these will be available for free should anyone have a use for them. There are like a dozen phones and associated chargers/cases. I need to go through them first and reset and/or at least remove SIM cards. Any help would be appreciated!
