Thanks. I just bought two of them. I noticed they have "micro SD"
slots. I just bought a new cell phone which has a micro SD slot and a
1.3 MP camera. Maybe I can download pictures now. I also bought a data
cable for the phone but haven't been able to find a USB driver for it so
can't read or write anything directly. Verizon LG VX8360. I can't even
find anything on LG's site.
