Anybody know how to take a screenshot of your phone?

Search for a thread called "post your UI's" or something like that. They were all posting screenshots of their 7 screens, and I believe someone listed instructions on how to to do it.

edit: here's the instructions:

To take a screen shot:

-Download the SDK from here: Android SDK | Android Developers
-Once SDK is downloaded, run "SDKSetup.exe" and install platform 2.1 and
the drivers if necessary. If you've already downloaded HTC Sync, you
should have the drivers
-Enable USB debugging on your phone:
menu>settings>applications>development>check USB debugging
-Open the command line (Windows key+R...type cmd...push enter)
-Type "cd *the path to the tools directory of the sdk*" for example:
cd C:\Users\Dylan\android-sdk_r05-windows\android-sdk-window\tools
-Push enter and you'll see ......tools> type ddms.bat and push enter
-In the new window that opens you should see your device listed. Select it
and then click device>screen capture
You now have a pic of your screen.
