Incredible workaround for slow camera phone

I am tech-savvy and have bought many add-ons and adapters in my life, but this is the first time a product has blown me away (because of its simplicity) one way. I have a Sony Ericsson W810i phone which is great on its own (2 megapixel camera, fantastic MP3 player, radio, bluetooth, great antennas and expandable Pro Duo memory card slot). However, the SE camera doesn't have decent software for managing large files on a memory card when the phone is connected directly to a computer. In short, filling a 4GB flash drive with music would take hours and hours. Also, the adapter that came with Memory Stick Pro Duo cards (they look like short sticks of gum and fit in a "regular" memory card slot) was not recognized by my Sony desktop, so files via this method were not directly could be accessed and exchanged. Sign in to MobileMate. This baby was recognized by Windows XP Professional in seconds. The professional memory card is inserted from the side and fully recognized as a USB stick. But the best thing is the speed. I transferred 3.5 gigabytes of music from my desktop to my memory card in less than five minutes, including the time it took me to select the artists to transfer! The camera phone recognizes these files as easily as if they had been transferred with the SE signature "disk-to-phone” soft artist, album, title. I happened to spend a day at the beach with my phone/player. All the excitement and "thank you SanDisk" for a product that costs less than $20 because this product works beyond what it's advertised. Adorama delivered this item to my door within two days when I opted for expedited shipping. I imagine he would be here with the usual delivery by the end of the week but the beach was calling me. Memory card slot like my Fujitsu Tablet PC. I didn't compare file transfer speeds, but MobileMate is definitely faster).
