Hi there,
Just got my new phone yesterday to find out that it's not compatible with Vista. It sucks. So now I'm trying to transfer music to the card. I have the adapter (not sure what it's called) and a card reader on my computer. Anyone know how to do this?
I have tried putting the card in the reader but nothing pops up, and when I gho to "my computer" there is no drive there to add music to. Can anyone point me in the right direction? The reason I got the phone was for the walkman feature. *sigh*
I'd greatly appreciate ANY help at all. Thanks!

Re: W300i and Vista?
you need a card reader that supports m2, at least you need a card adaptor
open Windows Explorer (Win + E), and you can transfer files there

A few times you might just need to format the memory card. You can do so through your W300i. Just go to menu, File Manager, press the right soft key for 'more', then select format memory stick. After that your PC might recognize the card.

Re: W300i and Vista?
Your card reader, did you install the drivers so that your PC can detect it as a USB Mass Storade Device? I'm guessing you're using one of those all-in-one or 8-in-1 card readers. Some of those need to have the software installed first before it can be used to read memory cards. That might help you.

Do you know the model of your card reader? I'd like to check it out myself.

Re: W300i and Vista?
I don't know how to say.....
if you can access Control Panel->System->Device Manager
check is your card reader there
I don't think Vista needs extra driver for your card reader
do you have XP machine? try it
if the reader still doesn't show up, it's dead

Re: W300i and Vista?
check USB controllers part
USB mass storage should show there
you can ask somebody else who has XP machine to test out your reader
good luck

I checked them all and they said they were working correctly and drivers were up to date.
Unfortunately my card reader is built into the computer so using a machine with XP is out of the question.
