    i hardly ever run into these problems because a sales person will tell you anything to get you to buy. i do a little thing called research.

    Well I would love to partition it but I have no idea what software will allow me to partition it. Does anybody know? Can you even partition a miniSD card? I guess you could, but I have no idea with what. I see lots of data recovery programs out there for miniSD but no partitioning. I wonder if partition magic would do it.

    Any thoughts?

    As far as I know, there is no way to get the phone to read over 1 gig because of the software.

    Also, from what I have heard, (just hear-say mind you) the new version that's coming out will also not support anything over a gig either.

    Then again (hear-say again), I have heard they are already working on both a new phone and a new version that will support past the one gig point.

    We will just have to wait and see...but as it stands right now....nothing past a gig is supported....sorry.

    One more question. Because I have the 2 gig and it will not work with the phone. Can I somehow make the phone recognize it only as a gig stick or somehow format it to be 1 gig so that the phone will recognize it?
    I would like to keep the 2 gig is possiable so that I can use it later when it does support 2 gig.

    Thanks again.

    Noooooooo.
    That sucks. It would be nice to get a good 60 - 200gb on one of these bad boys and get rid of the ipod for good

    Ok you guys have been a great help thank you.

    i sell verizon wirless and have not got anything on ver3 coming out, and i doubt it will support the 2GB card most phones/pds's dont support the 2GB card yet.

    The guys at verizon say it should be not problem. They probably just have no idea. Ok thank you. They told me there is a new software version coming out either this month or next. Any info on wether this is true or not? Think the phone will support it with the new software? I have v2 right now.

    a 2GB card will never work on your phone they only support up to 1GB.

    I got a 2gig mini sd card for my phone. When I got it I just put it into the phone to see if it would work. It didnt because I did not know you had to format the card first using the phone. So I put it into my computer and it worked, so I put a mp3 onto it too see if the phone would read it. Nope. So I put it back into the computer and tried formating it with the computer. Woops I know.
    My question is: is there a way to get my card to work with my phone again?

    Thank you in advance for any help you can give.
