When you're in File Manager on the phone the card will appear as another folder, \Storage Card. Don't rename it.

When you're installing software you'll be given a choice of Device or Storage Card.

When you download a file from the internet it will by default try to download it to \My Documents but you can press Menu then Save As.

When you open Windows Media Player on your PC you can sync with your phone or with the SD card.

Search the forums for tips and hacks to save your e-mail and temp internet files to your SD card.

Look in the camera options. There is a setting for saving pictures there.

oh yeah and it is safe to remove the memory card whenever, like obviously not when trying to save but if i kill all apps and am at the home screen, can i jus take it out so i can put it in the adapter for my comp?

yea, but I use my computer and phone connected to each other with the usb cable that came with my phone....it works slick and I never have to take my card out.

But, in order to do this you need to install active sync which should have came with your phone on a cd-rom...

I lost my cd-rom a while back for like the 2nd time. Can I order another one? No matter which version I download here at work, it wont work.

and dont leave out the fact that you can also just email the info to your computer if you dont have time to sit and connect and copy and paste. Pop it in an email and catch it the next time you are spending some time at the pc.
