The Mitac comes with 2 CDs. The first includes ActiveSync which is necessary for syncing your phone to the PC. It also includes MS Outlook which is what the phone's PIM applications sync to. (Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Mail) You can download ActiveSync from Microsoft's Mobile Specific Site for free....but Outlook, you have to pay for if you can't get disk #1.

I dont know why the disk doesnt work on your PC. Could be a PC problem. Could be that you have a damaged CD#2.

To transfer/delete your files from the SD, you need Active Sync installed. From there you could dlick on explore, navigate to the SD, then remove the files.

Without ActiveSync, you could buy an SD card reader that plugs into your USB....they're really cheap and almost free.

Other than that, you MAY be able to connect your phone to your PC without activesync and the PC will still recognize the phone as a drive. Go into explorer to see if it sees the phone...navigate from there. If not...you will need ActiveSync installed.

As I wont have my new smartphone until next week...I forget how to transfer SIM numbers. But you can try going into Contacts and clicking thru the menu options there. I believe it is there. But again...I cant check today.

Good Luck.
