Im going to assume that any phone these days thats $40 and its main selling point is "with camera!!" isnt a smart phone... that being said, no manufacture really puts much thought into those anymore so it can be a pain in the dick to do anything but use as a phone.
My iphone automatically sends all photos into the cloud once I take them and when I log onto my computer they are already there waiting for me to upload them to Flickr. Hell, I can even enable my phone to upload directly to flickr if I so choose. I just dont upload every picture I take and when I do, I put them in certain folders.
Its always been a pain to do anything remotely useful with a "dumb phone." It always sucks being in a shitty area for data coverage which limits the types of phones you can use.
