when i receive files thru bluetooth, take pics, etc, are they stored to the phone memory or sd card? it doesn't ask and i can't seem to find the option to set as default.

I'm not 100% but I think its saved to the SD card. If you take the SD card out does the camera still function? On my inspire if I remove the card it will tell me that an SD card is required for the camera to work. And anything I download through the web or email attachments are saved to my card. If you download astro file manager you can browse through the folders on the SD card and you should see one called download, this is where anything downloaded would go to. I also have a folder called media and my ringtones I got are in there.

In order for Android to function at its best, you need a SD card, As he said above, the Camera, Certain Apps, (especially ones you moved to the SD)

Anything downloaded will be saved to the SD card. - I.E. MMS or Bluetooth

Hope I helped!

so the only way to really find out is to pull the sd card and see? i took some pics recently and they were on my sd card.

If you want to do it that way, turn the phone off, take out SD and the turn it back on without the SD card. The internal phone storage is really only used for the App Foundation, no saves or anything, SMS, Widgets, Ext.
