Like Apple iPhone you cannot easily take screenshots in many Android phones. This is not supported by default, you to either root your phone to take screenshot or wait for updates, but still its not sure that you will get it. The only possible way to take screenshot from your android phone is by installing Android SDK and by using ddms manager from your PC. This is little bit complected work, not easy for the non-geek guys. So I found an alternate simple method when compared. Here I used an software MyPhoneExplorer which is free to use.
