Verizon just told me that they called up LG and LG confirmed that the 9800 supports the 1gig miniSD card and if you had a problem contact Lg at 1-800- 793- 8896.
So the answer is yes, the 9800 does support the 1 gig miniSD card
It usually has to do with how the card was formatted. What you should do is when you hook the card up to a reader for the computer, erase it (reformat, whatever). Then turn your phone off. PLug in the 1GB minisd card into the phone. Power on the phone. Once on, hit a few keys than power off. Once off, take the card out and plug into your reader. Install all the mp3s you want (making sure that they are not in subfolders; they must be directly placed into the mp3s folder on the card). Once done, take out the card and plug back into your phone (making sure its off). Then turn the phone back on, go to my mp3s and it should work.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO NOW!! HELP!
Also, does the phone support movie types? Specifically, if I get a 1gb card, can I put a tv show I've downloaded on it for my viewing? If so, is it restricted to certain types of videos?
I was really hoping it could handle shows and stuff like that otherwise its a very small card just to use the MP3 option for ringtones as my MP3 player I have now is fine for music.
As far as movies go, yes you can put a whole movie/tv show on the card and access it from My Flix. The only format supported us called .3g2 and is a derivative of the MPEG-4 format.
What you need to do is take whatever you want to convert (AVI, MPEG2, MOV) and convert it to .3g2. Fortunately, this is easy to do if you have Quicktime Pro. Quciktime Pro supports the ability to export a file into this .3g2 format. However, getting the file into a format quicktime can understand is not necessarily a cake walk...if you have a mac, i found this great program called handbreak. It can take a dvd inserted, rip it into an MPEG-4 format, then all you do is use quicktiime to convert it into the .3g2 form...

How much does a reader for the card run?

Card readers run cheap -- $15 to $30 depending on how many options you get for it. I think mine was like $20 and it has support for seven different types of memory devices. Look for one that reads Secure Digital -- as you will get a SD mini to SD (reg.) adpater when you buy your SD MINI card....or at least you should.
