Use the software that came with the phone.

Are YOU IT literate? Can you offer him some assistance with this?
If you have a PC with Bluetooth then the easiest/cheapest way would probably
be to send the video to the PC using that, but it would take a small amount
of PC knowledge in order to get it to work, so they would need your help, if
you can provide it. Otherwise, the USB cable that came with the phone would
probably do the job.
As Jon said, the software that came bundled with the phone would probably
make the process easier(as long as you can install it on your 'puter...)

Many thanks for your assistance.
I am sorry if I have misunderstood the purpose of a newsgroup - I had
thought it was somewhere where you could ask a sensible question and
get a sensible answer. I expected people to offer alternatives such
as - bluetooth, software for the PC, e-mail, take the sim card out and
take it to a shop, sms to a web site, read sim card with reader
connected to PC - whatever people had experience of.

Well, seems you are IT litterate. Don't see your problem. Why not
download the phone's manual and read...

Now I'm curious; what exactly do you find upsetting about a perfectly good
and totally relevent answer to your question, expressed in the most
inoffensive way possible?
Is there some reason why the software supplied with the phone can't be
installed on your friend's computer (or yours) and the instructions
followed?

eh?!
What did I say to cause such offence? Seriously, I'd appreciate an answer to
that, I though my response might be of SOME use to you!
I thought my answer was perfectly sensible. IMO, that would be the easiest,
quickest and cheapest way to get a picture from the phone to the computer...
If you don't have bluetooth on the computer, transferring it by the phones
MEMORY (not SIM) card is probably the next easiest.
You can send an MMS message to an email address, so that'd work too, but
will obviously cost something(and the picture may be too big for an MMS)
If you don't want general advise, but are after a step-by-step set of
instructions then you should ask. I don't have a Nokia6500 or any manuals
for that phone, so I can't really help further.
