The software you have to buy as I'm sure you know. Find someone who has a motorola and borrow the installation CD if you can. Otherwise, you can just download a free copy through torrents. Quick and painless.
The last resort would be to just email yourself all the photos. Just send the pics as a picture message to your email address.
Edit: The only files you'll online for the phone is a USB driver to use the phone as a modem on your PC. It'll tell you you'll have to pay for the software you need to connect your phone to your PC to be able to transfer files.
