Is there a way to directly copy mp3s from the PC to the my_music
folder on the phone's microSD card (without taking the card out of the
phone)?  I'd rather not have to create playlists to sync via WMP.

More basically, is there a way to see the SD card on the computer and
read and write to it.  It's a Verizon phone, so Motorola Phone Tools
is crippled.

Thanks.

Connect to the phone using Bluetooth FTP from a BT dongle on the computer.  
Once paired, the internal and external memory in the phone shows up on
Windoze Explorer as another drive under BLUETOOTH as a subfolder of
BLUETOOTH.  Click and drag to the my_music folder the songs you want, not
maxing out the memory, of course.  Explorer will copy the files over there,
albeit much slower because of the BT radio link, than if you just plugged
the card into the computer the way it should be.  It works on my Linux
computers, also, even the Nokia N800 Linux tablet.

Oops...I didn't look quick enough.  Verizon has probably trashed everything
Bluetooth except headphones and handsfree so you can't.  Motorola Phone
Tools isn't crippled, the phone is crippled by the Verizon crippleware.

Got an Alltel store around?  They can flash it with Alltel's firmware to
restore the functions Motorola intended it to have, not Vcast and other
sales gimmicks.  While you're there, you could bring your Verizon number
over to a company that doesn't play these stupid games screwing customers.  
Regional coverage, if you don't live in airplanes, is 700 mins for $39 plus
really unlimited data service for $25 more, EVDO in most Alltel
markets...and NOONE complains if you USE IT!  After 6 months, they give you
100 mins/month more for free.  Compare the prices.  Alltel wins.  They
allow much more free roaming than VZW, too, where they don't have service.  
When you DO vacation away from the regional area, 100 nationwide minutes is
only $10 to prevent roaming charges....a much better deal for most working
stiffs.

BT DUN, OBEX, FTP, etc., all work on my MotoROKR Z6m on Alltel, right outa

Not entirely correct. I can transfer ringtones (mp3 extention simply
renamed qcp) and pictures to my V9m through my computer's bluetooth
connection. I will admit that I wish I had the Moto interface and the
full use of the phone that Altsell offers but these limitations are not
that important to me. What is important is that I can make and receive
calls.
