First connect your phone via USB cable, from the home page, you press menu then select notifications, you will then see a page that says Ongoing. You then want to press USB connected, this will then pop-up a page that says mount / unmount. You want to press mount and this should then use your USB card as a mass storage device. You can then access folders and files from your phone. Make sure before you disconnect your phone to go through the same process using notifications and turn off the USB storage and use safely remove hardware on your PC. I hope this helps.

Thanks.  Yes I did that and the prompt was to start syncing with the outlook ....... which is not desired.  I just want to view/control the info on the SD card.
