It's a very nice phone. I just got one too. Unfortunately I can't answer
most of your questions other than that the mSD card is read and written to
using Desktop Manager's Media Manager. From there, it's a simple drag and
drop or a use of the Move Up/Move Down buttons. It will appear as a CD Drive
in My Computer also, but don't try to use that. It wants to format the drive
first and I suspect that would be a disaster. So, yes, you can put your
documents in a folder on the card. Reading them might be another story. I'm
sure someone has a 3rd party app for that purpose. Check with handango.com.
Meantime, I have a question for you. Do you have the 8130 operating as a
phone or are you just interested in using it as a portable computer? If it
is operating as a phone, how did you accomplish that without purchasing a
data plan?
Thanks.
