The only app I have got to install normally is Opera.
But some Java apps installed fine for me.

It SHOULD do - it does on mine. RSMMC card is slightly different to SD 
though - so it may not on all readers.

I have a buffalo 8 in 1 card reader. SD slot works fine under MacOS.

You can bluetooth files to the phone mailbox - then use an app called 
"Forward" to move them to the MMC card. But rather tricky I think (you 
can't blutooth big apps for o Bite bullet and get SD card reader that 
works with your card is my advice...

If you are on Win machine the software (JP)  that comes with the phone 
lets you browse parts of the files system over USB.

yup - it takes about 5 minutes manually when you get the hang of it...

And console yourself with the thought that viruses will have the same 
problem.

BTW - I gather 512meg cards are available end of May.
