Using Your Storm As A Flash Drive - Blackberry dummies 2 Manual

Chapter 12: Satisfying Your Senses with Media Player
Because the Storm does not have a physical keyboard, you lose the speed
inherent in keyboard shortcuts. App developer NikkiSoft introduced
QuickLaunch for the original BlackBerry Storm, and it remains a must-have
app. QuickLaunch enables you to set shortcuts for common tasks, such as
calling your significant other, e-mailing your boss, or visiting a specific Web
site. Setting a convenience key to open QuickLaunch allows you to access
these shortcut commands immediately, saving time and touch-screen presses.

Using your Storm as a flash drive

If you are a Windows user, the most common way to manipulate media files
into and out of your Storm is to attach it to a PC and use Windows Explorer:
1. Connect your BlackBerry to your PC, using the USB cable that came
with your Storm.
Only folders and files stored on the microSD card will be visible to your
PC. Make sure that the microSD card is in your BlackBerry Storm before
you connect your Storm to the PC.
When connected, the Storm screen displays a prompt for enabling mass
storage mode.
2. On the Storm screen, touch-press Yes.
A screen appears on your Storm, asking for your password.
3. On the Storm screen, type your BlackBerry password.
The device is now ready to behave like an ordinary flash drive. On your
PC, the Removable Disk dialog box opens.
4. On your PC, in the Removable Disk dialog box, click Open Folder to
View Files and then click OK.
The familiar Windows Explorer screen appears.
5. Manipulate your media files as you want.
You can do anything you typically do with a normal Windows folder,
such as drag and drop, copy, and delete files.
6. Close Windows Explorer when you're finished.
If you are a Mac user, you can easily manipulate media files by connecting
your Storm to your Mac:
1. Connect your BlackBerry to your Mac, using the USB cable that came
with your Storm.
