Well thanks for that vote of confidence Carol and how very strange about the
memory card on the N86. I would not like that having to take the back off if I
wanted to take out the memor card but then I do not take it out often. I think
I'd made an earlier suggestion to yvonne about taking the card out simply to
exclude her contacts being on the memory card only. However, Yvonne I think is
wanting to know what key on the N86 will reveal the contents.

The memory card is particularly tricky to extract from the N86. I think
you're supposed to be able to push a switch to get it out but certainly can't
put it in without taking the back off; so I always remove the back if I have
to remove the card.
However, Eleanor is also right. If you have a USB cable and these programmes
for your phone, that's a better idea than removing the card.
She also right in that the File Manager does show you whether you are looking
at the card's contents or not, so give it a go!
