You can also read files stored on the SD card, but only if you registered your app to manage a specific extension. Txt files are not supported, since they are registered by the OS and can't be replaced.

You are not allowed to browse for files in a WP application. There is no file browser supported!

You can only access the file stored in the IsolatedStorage of your application. For that you will need to create a file browser yourself which will only give access to files in the Isolated Storage.

Your application is sandboxed, and only has access to data within your folders - so you can't browse to a file. You can only read files you deploy with your application, or write to isolated storage.

Alternately you could download a file from Skydrive
