storage card (aka additional memory)

[ryujin]

ok...i got the 2GB card for free with the phone...put it in and the system sees it.

I exported to the card two copies of my contacts for testing to see if i could pull them in as well.

well i can pull them in, but i cannot seem to delete the one(s) that are not current ro i dont need anymore...

ive looked in the manual on how to access the card, but i am either blind or just pass over it. (the manual needs a ton of help in how the index is listing things btw)

so - can i access the card via the phone or am i going to be forced to connect to the pc?

download astro file manager

it usually defaults to /sdcard, but if it doesn't, navigate to that folder

that is the sd card.

ok nwb question then...(and thx for the reply btw)

but is this the only way to see the card then? am i understanding that there is no way to get to the card from within the OS already?

i just am asking for clarification since it seems i know the answer but am new to smart phones.

thanks

correct, android has no built in file manager. you have to download one from the market.
