Kinn Two Photo storage after Kin studio collapse? 8 G

[NlGHTgirl]

1. How will Kin store 8 meg photos now after the collapse of the Kin storage cloud?

Please, tell me? How many photos can I store on my (soon to arrive in the mail) Kin two phone? I bought it for the camera feature and perhaps, the Wi fi and zune sound interesting to investigate. I'm old & out of the loop., heh, and I would like to learn about this.

I ask this Q, because I read that the Kin " conveniently" shrinks your photos while on the cell ph, (to not slow down your phone, to allow more music storage, etc. to not clutter the phone...) ... so, the photos, would exist in full mega pixel glory on this magic storage cloud (that ceases to exist.)

Thank you !!!

This was a really cute option, I'm vaguely sad it is lost. Could someone tell me what happens to storage now? how much photo with ten songs can I save on current 8G memory of Kin two? Will it always have the silly 4 square green screen? I really love this phone, I had my eye on it since it debut!!! I am happy for the camera! I love to send pictures!!!!

2. Does Pix place still exist? Could I txt pic my photos there?

Thank you !!!!!! Thank you!!! I love it, I know it is a downgrade to the rest of the Vz world, but to me, this is a huge upgrade from pre historic phone! thank you!

The amount of memory each picture takes depends on the resolution you have set in the camera settings.  I have pictures that take anywhere from 250KB to about 1.5MB each.  The KIN TWOm has 8GB (that's 8000 MB), and after the device's software, etc, you'll have a little under 7GB free.  So if you take fairly high res photos, and average about 1MB each, that's 7,000 photos.  But you probably don't want to store that many, because you still need room for music, text messages, videos, e-mail, etc.

The best thing to do is go to the Microsoft website and download the Zune software. Then you can easily transfer photos, videos, and music between your phone and your own computer.  

As for the KIN shrinking your photos, I don't know anything specific about that. However, the phone, just like most digital cameras, uses the .jpg file format to store pictures.  That format includes a compression technique that allows photos to be stored as much smaller files than they would be otherwise. That's how I can take an 8mp picture and wind up with a 1MB file.  If you have a typical digital camera, it most likely does the same thing, unless it uses "raw" or "tiff" format , which create very large files.

The phone will always have the home screen with the squares. However, if you don't like green, you can change the color to blue or a couple of varieties of red by going to "themes" in the settings.  It's basically the Windows 7 phone interface (but without all the Windows 7 smartphone functionality).
