If it is a Motorola phone you will most likely need to use Motorola Tools, a software sold at the phone stores. If it is another manufactures phone there might be specific tools need to retrieve pictures from their phone.
The micoSD should have came with a SD adapter. Try using it to plug the card directly to the computer, you might not need any special software to see the photos.

When shooting a large panoramic photo, for example a mountain range, the photographer might "pan" the camera and take 2 or more photos. These photos will be overlayed edge to edge to combine making one VERY long picture. This overlaying is commonly called "Stitching".

As long as the lens is new enough to have Auto Focus it should work. It would be best to search that particular model of lens to check compatibility.

Sony has incorporated Minolta SLR technology into their Alpha series Digital-SLR cameras. I shoot with Sony Cameras and have many Minolta lenses.
From the entry level Sony a200 all the way up to the Sony a900 and a850 most Minolta lenses can be used on these Digital-SLR cameras.
There is a conversion factor for 35mm lenses used on none full frame sensor Digital-SLR cameras. The focal length of the lens is multiplied by 1.6. For example... a 70mm lens would act like a 112mm lens on a digital body.
The a900 and a850 are full size sensor cameras so there is no conversion factor.
