Is it possible to use an Android phone in "disk mode"?

If I connect an iPhone to a PC it is not possible to copy files between the PC and the iPhone. I would like to be able to do this because it would be useful.

What happens if I connect an Android phone to a PC? Do I see it as a disk or is it similar to the iPhone?

On my HTC Desire you choose "Disk drive" mode although you only see the SDCard not the internal memory.

Absolutely, and it's very easy. This is the procedure for my Samsung Galaxy S; other phones may be different:

  1. Plug in the USB cable and a USB icon appears in the notification area at the top of the screen.
  2. Pull down the notification and tap "USB connected".
  3. Tap "Mount" on the dialog box that's displayed.
  4. Two removable drives show up on my PC; one for the built-in flash memory, and one for the expansion SD card.
