Samsung SYNC SGH-A707
Text reader
I tried something the other day and it didn't end up working like I was wanting. I'm hoping there is a better way to do this.
I want to be able to put a text file on to my phone, and read it from the phone fairly easily. I tried this and while the file copied and opened ok, the application (Picsel Viewer) doesn't seem to be aimed at reading text.

I found a reasonable workaround.
If you rename the .txt file to .html (on the computer - the phone won't do this), it will open in the browser on the phone which makes a much better reader. This give you no formatting, but if you convert to html, like with MS Word for example you can have all the formatting you like.
Just thought I'd share my solution.
