    Everything except games. I believe ringtones are off the memory card but once you make them active, I believe it goes into system memory but not too sure. Wallpaper goes into system memory when you select which one you want active.

    So the Storm's OS will allow apps to play off of the media card? Very nice! I had to use a card loader in order to do that on my 8120. Now that my 8220 has 128MB (total), I haven't had to worry about it...yet.

    It depends on where the ringtone (media) resides. If the ringtone is on your media card, the "link" to the contacts will be made between your contacts list and the ringtone on your card. This is true for most BB OS's. Running apps is a different story.

    yea, if you copy and paste an mp3 from your comp to your media card, and then set it as a ringtone on your phone, it will also store a copy of the mp3 within the device memory.

    You can use it as a flash drive to save just about anything you want. I load powerpoint presentations on my. You can view right from the phone or transfer to another PC.
