*+1. Click Start+*
*+2. Click All Programs+*
*+3. Select Accessories+*
*+4. Select Scanner and Camera Wizard+*
*+5. Select the iPhone out of your potential devices.+*
*+6. If you want to be able to manually copy pictures over in an explorer-like interface, click the advanced users only link. If you want to copy pictures over in a little wizard-like interface, click Next.+*
*+Using either the explorer or wizard interfaces will allow you to delete pictures as well. Using this method is obviously a lot quicker than deleting the pictures manually on the iPhone itself.+*
Another method is to get a Mac and just use iPhoto... 😉
