Go to Settings > SD Card & phone storage

At the bottom, under "Internal phone storage"

Most apps are below 1MB in size. I have 13 apps installed and I am sitting at 223 MB's .

You can plug your Storm into your computer and transfer your pictures from your Storm to a place on your computer. Then, plug in your Droid to your computer. Make sure you mount the SD card from the Droid after you do this. Then simply drag and drop the pictures onto the SD card in your Droid.

Chris....thanks for the info bro, but what do you mean by "mount the SD card from the droid"? Never heard of this.

If you have your droid plugged in an slide down the notification bar, it'll give you the option to mount your SD card which will give you access to it from your computer

Chris, i just came across a forum where you posted screenshots....where do i get the 1. Internal/ SD memory status widgets? 2. that battery status widget? 3. thats widget that, well, it looks like its a all in one toggle between bluetooth, wifi and other things? BTW, Eli is the man....well Peyton is, but love Eli also

When you plug the SD card into your computer, there is a new notification in your notification bar..pull the notifications down and select the "USB Connected" notification, from there select "Mount"

That way your SD card becomes a mass storage device, where you can drag and drop files between your sd card and your computer, just be sure when you're done, Safely remove your phone from the computer instead of just pulling the usb cord out

Oops, sorry for the double info post, didn't notice a page 4
