Hmm. On Ubuntu? That's a good question.

I imagine it might be specific to your phone and what features it has as well as your computer.

What model phone is it? For example there might be something out there which will work that is native to linux.

I see this looking in synaptic for some phones:

P3nfsd is a Symbian (Psion/Nokia/Sony-Ericsson/etc) to UNIX/Linux
communication program. It allows you to mount the file systems of
the Phone/PDA on your UNIX machine. This means that you see all
the filesystems of the Phone/PDA as a filesystem on your UNIX
machine and you can copy/backup/edit any file on the Phone/PDA
with your preferred tools on the UNIX machine.

Supported devices are:
- UIQ phones over infrared, bluetooth or the USB cradle
(e.g. Sony Ericsson P800 or P900, Motorola A920, BenQ P30)
- Series 60 phones over infrared or bluetooth
(e.g. Nokia 6600,7650,3650,N-Gage; Siemens SX1; Samsung SGH-D700)
- Series 80 phones over cable or infrared
(Nokia Communicator: 9210/9210i/9210c/9290)
- Psion PDA's over cable or infrared
(e.g. Psion 5/5mx/netpad/netBook/Series 7/MC218/revo/mako)
- EPOC16 over cable
(Psion 3/3a/3c/3mx/Siena/Workabout)

If your phone has bluetooth and so does your computer it might be possible to send it that way as well.

If there is no other way, you ought to be able to send it as an email and then download it from your Ubuntu PC at least.

Again, let us know what model and type of phone is it and we can look more.

If your phone has a memory card it may be easiest to transfer the pics to the card and insert the card which is removable storage
