OK, I'll stick with USB mass storage. > By the way - speaking of photos on your N82, I recommend trying > http://betalabs.nokia.com/betas/view/nokia-photo-browser if you > haven't already. It's very basic but has lots of potential. :) Very nice, Nokia Maps 3.0 is beta too and also looks like a big step up. I'll keep an eye on the new photo browser for sure, that would be a welcome upgrade. - Grant
