Need help with Japanese Sanyo phone
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I've got a bit of a problem that I hope someone can help me with.
I lived in Japan for awhile 2 years ago and used a Sanyo A1303SA phone while I was there. But now I'm home in Canada and I want to transfer all my photos off the phone.
Is there anyway I can do this?
I know it's a longshot, so thanks!

I know that they do sell cables that allow you to sync your phone book with PC/Mac (or maybe just mac...) for a lot of phones...i used to see the software in stores all the time...unfortunately I'm back in Canada right now so I can't go looking but you may be able to find something...keep us posted

Some Japanese phones share the same connector.... not sure if youre uses the same connector as the Vodafone/Softbank/DoCoMo Sharp/Toshiba/Panasonic/NEC phones....

tru tru...it varies by company, but in older models i think j-phone and AU were the same connector...DoCoMo has 2 types of connectors...one for MOVA phones and the other for FOMA phones...not sure if this is any help or no...anyway i hope u can get that figured out...i know its frustratin to have pics stuck on the phone...i lost a few pics cause i let my battery run down completely...sad

Yeah, I've already lost a few pictures because of the same problem.

So I really want to get the rest of them off ASAP.

Does anyone know where I could buy one of these connectors?

my guess would be to start off with eBay...i've seen the odd phone there so maybe a cable could also be found.

Next would be to try and find a hofo member living in Japan right now. If i were there I would be happy to run down to a local Yamada Denki or wherever to hook u up but I'm not

If you can wait until spring/early summer 2007 tho I might be able to work something personally.

lastly, (and probably the longest shot) would be to ask a Japanese friend to make a run for u...

plz keep us posted on ur findings so that other hofo members have a better idea what to do in future.

I was wondering- I have a W21SA. I've been told that I can put music and videos on this phone through the miniSD card, but everything I put in the phone cuts off at 15 seconds. What are the available methods for doing this? Sorry to stray off-course.
