LG VX-7000

Whats up everyone...I currently have Nextel and I was thinking of switching to Verizon, particularly the VX7000. I heard there was no way of legitly using a data cable to transfer the images from your camera to you pc but from what I have read you guys say there is. I know you have talked about it in the past but I'm new and I was wondering if someone can tell me if you can or can't transfer images? and using Verizon software that wont void or screw anyting up internally. Thanks I appreciate it because if you cant transfer images then why bother buying the phone. Who wants to spend $250 on a phone and then .25 everytime you want to send apic. Thanks 😈
