Backing up photos on iphone 3gs?

Hi, I'm getting an iphone 5 for christmas and want to have the photos that are on my phone (3gs) now to be on the new phone. Is there a way to back them up through itunes or some app so that this is possible? I know how to just upload them on the computer, so that isn't a problem, but I would like to at least to have some of them on my new phone to use for backgrounds and contacts. Thanks.

Added (1). Sorry, I have Windows 7

OSX or Windows?

  • Would you pay to have the backing glass of you iphone changed to a different colour? I was thinking of this has a business idea. I saw that the new ipods had different backing cases of different colours and i was thinking i would really like my iphone to be blue, so would you think it was a good idea to have the back of your iphone a different colour, would you pay for it?
  • Would backing up then restoring an iphone remove a jailbreak? Due to the recent release of IOS 7, i plan on updating my iphone 5(ios 6.1.2) but it is jailbroken. Would backing up then restoring my iphone keep all my pictures and app data while removing the jailbreak? If not what is your best recommendation for me to do. Would really appreciate an answer thanks!
  • Why is my iphone not backing up to iCloud? When I try to back up my iphone it says backing up, estimating time remaining then stops. What do I do?
  • Restoring iPhone and backing it up? -Well my iPhone 4S has been going in and out of 3G to the no service circle a lot lately so I've read it's Apple recommended to restore your iPhone. -Now, my iPhone is backed up on my computer, but my question is, when I restore my iPhone back to factory default, am I still allowed to back it up after the restore so I don't lose all my contacts (300 contacts), pictures, etc. -Idk I'm a total noob when it comes to backup and restore for the iPhone: p.
