Sony Ericsson W810
Use as a USB device.
Can I use this phone as a usb device to store files on the memory card?
Also, do i have to use the sony cable? Or could I transfer files via irda or bluetooth? I doubt it has USB..
thanks.

What kind of files are you trying to store? I'm not sure about things like word documents but pictures, videos, music and the like you can. It comes with a USB cable and you can do it that way, or via BT or IRDA.
...
That's exactly what I am looking for - to use it as a usb drive, like i can do with an ipod. is it possible?

Never had an ipod so I dont know what you wanna do. As I said, you can store pics, music and videos on the phone though.

i havent gotten my 810 yet but my w600 showed up as a usb mass storage device via bluetooth all the time.
and via data cable it showed up as a mass storage device sometimes.....but that could of been my pc doing that too.

Yes, you have to use the sony USB cable. I have the unlocked version and it came with the cable.
When you plug the USB cable into the PC, you'll have to choose b/w 'Phone Mode' or 'File Transfer Mode' on the phone itself. In 'File Transfer Mode', two drives will show up, one for the internal memory and one for the external card. I haven't tried it, but I see no reason why you can't store any file type on the external card via drag and drop.
The good thing is that in 'File Xfer Mode', no software is required, just the phone and cable.

You can transfer non-media files with BT, IR or the USB cable...I did it with a .pdf file. The phone won't recognize it of course, but it will send and receive it, storing in the 'Other' folder.
With the USB cable, the internal and external memory are both generic USB mass storage devices.
