Well, in short, no. I using Bitpim I found appox 4.5mb of jpegs in
/my_music, named for all the songs on my sd card. I pulled the sd card
out, reinitialized the music library, my_music was empty, and I got 5mb
back. I put the sd card back in, the phone automatically reinitialized the
database, added all the jpegs back into /my_music, and I was right back
where I started.

Digging further, I found two files, loaded on the day I got my phone from
the local Verizon store, with file sizes adding up to afore mentioned
21.5mb:

MMS859023579.PDU 108162
MMS859023113.PDU 106O89

So, now I'm thinking these files were installed at the store when I agreed
to vcast?
