you want to add photos.

Plus signs appear next to the photos that are part of the selected album.

Copying photos

on an expansion card. If the photo is currently located on your handheld it is 
copied to an expansion card, and vice versa. 
When you copy a photo from an expansion card to your handheld a number is 
appended to the photo name. If a photo was originally larger than 320 x 320 pixels, 
then the photo is scaled to a maximum of 320 x 320 pixels and the aspect ratio is 
maintained.

Setting priority
You can use the priority setting for items to arrange the tasks in your To Do List 
according to their importance or urgency. The default setting for the To Do List is 
to arrange items by priority and due date, with priority 1 items at the top. If you 
have a number of items in your list, changing an item’s priority setting may move 
its position in the list. 
When you create a new To Do List item, its priority is automatically set to level 1, 
the highest (most important) level. If you select another item first, however, the 
item you create appears beneath the selected item and is given the same priority as 
the selected item.
