Connect the phone to a computer. (You may have to install drivers for the phone - You can get them at SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.)

If the computer sees the phone - it should - look for a DCIM folder. The pictures will be in folders inside that one. If there's an external card in the phone, there may be a DCIM folder both in the phone and on the card. Look in both of them. (They'll look like folders named Phone and Card in the phone, which will look like a hard drive.)

Then just copy the pictures to the computer, the same way you'd copy pictures from any other location in the computer - right-click/copy, right-click/paste, or ctrl-C, ctrl-V, or drag and drop or ... whatever you usually do.
