I think it happens automatically -- I would never have wanted to do this
because I only upload edited photos that I actually want to upload.
Since I don't have a data plan, it must wait until I'm logged in to my
home wifi. I don't like this, and I suppose I could defeat it, but I
don't care that much.

I transfer my photos from the phone to my computer by FTP. It works
wirelessly, but photos would frequently be damaged in transit (only half
of a photo went through, strange colors, other aberrations); never
happens if I do the same thing but plugged in via USB.

Micky, you might try reformatting your sdcard in the phone. Sometimes
**** happens for no reason at all.
