Jesse - I wish you luck. I have ZERO clue whether or not there are tech wizards who can work some sort of magic and rescue your photos. I HOPE there are, because it would be awful if you can't get any of your photos back. There's got to be a way...

Albert - SO MANY people achieved so much awesomeness by the tender age of, well, our age... So what? Live your life, not theirs. You're not Mozart, you're you. Find your own way to be awesome like you think they were...

Secondly, my technologically superior friends, my phone died (apparently the motherboard is pooched/fried/gonzo/kapput/mia/fubar).All I know is it won't charge, and the cell phone repair place said it is the motherboard.

I'm willing to spend some money, as it is my photos from India that I'd really like to have.

Thanks
