Mass Storage mode

[Zipporah Schumaker]

A standard mode allowing compatible phones to be connected to a computers USB port and be used as a removable storage drive without the need for any special drivers.
Usually, in Mass Storage mode, the phones memory is mounted as a removable drive by the computer OS and cannot be used by the phone itself. Thats the reason why some phones only allow an inserted memory card to be mounted in Mass Storage mode thus keeping their system partition inaccessible on the computer in this mode.
