File storage on a BB
I'm trying to store a few doc and PDF files on my BB. Ideally, I could drag them to my Outlook notes and they'd sync wirelessly. I want to keep train schedules, a few frequently used files, etc. I've looked, but everything seems to be online based.
I don't want to embed them in an e-mail to myself.
Any experiences?

Only for new(er) blackberries. On older ones it is pretty much impossible. There are a few photo transfer apps, but not much else. Best way to do it is to convert them as notes and sync those.

When I plug my 8800 into my pc via usb I have the choice of entering mass storage mode. My microSD card in the 8800 then shows up as a hard drive on my pc.
You can also access either the media card or the internal memory using the "media manager" icon in the bb desktop manager software.
If anyone has succesfully transfered data between 2 bb's or a bb and pc via bluetooth i'd love to know how.

Hah, look what I am on. 
I use the Notes function to keep frequently used data handy. It works well for me. Although if the data your have is in a complex format it might not work that well unless you "transcribe" it.

I have a Sprint 8703 waiting for the 8830. There are a couple of things that I will do to get documents to me. I can use the notes but what I do is just email the document to myself and then save the email. Or what I do is email the document to myself and then copy it to a notes.

How do you get, say, a word document or a PDF file into notes to sync? That's all I'm really looking for. When I had a WM device, I just dragged files to a folder on my PC.
Sync???
Reminiscent of sneakernet... I use my fingers to type it, while I am on my laptop (in Outlook Notes), then connect the BB and it syncs. Very basic and manual.
But the info I need is pretty static and there is usually less then 100-150 words.
So if your info is in a complex / fancy layout and it needs to stay that way my method probably won't be that useful.
