What brand is the card? I have a Sandisk, and others have confirmed that it is a good brand. On the packaging, it explicitly states "Mobile phone ready". There are several reports that generic/older microSD cards will not work.

Also, make sure it fits all the way in...

That's the one I got ...

microSD/TransFlash compatible

... It's clearly states MOBILE PHONE READY in a WHITE BALLOON on the front of the packaging.

... It's all the way in there and it clicks.

What now?

I would suggest going to a Cingular store and letting them try to make it work. If they can't, you will likely get a new phone, or they may find that the card is faulty, in which case you can exchange the microSD card...

I went back to the Cingular store and it was the STUPID CARD ... I bought a card from the Cingular store and it just worked fine with the USB cable and all - test it at the store ... or you can check if the phone is reading the card by going under SETTINGS, CHECK MEMORY, MEMORY CARD.

... I b*tched out the Best Buy customer service ... buy it from the Cingular store ... they need they need their commission to put food on the table!

... granted the card was 10 dollars more, but if the card breaks or faults ... Cingular will replace it for FREE!

You need to buy the cable from a Cingular store - that's what I did ... then follow the instructions as page 36 or 38 - whichever manual you got with your phone and that's it ... if you need help, e-mail me at "sailordragonball@yaho.com."

I didn't even use the cable and I'm able to tranfer the music from my computer to my memory card. I'm using a card reader. I just copy and paste the song to the micro SD card. It's very easy. The speaker is great for listening. 🙂

I bought a 1gb sandisk card at best buy that was mobile ready. I then bought the sandisk mobile mate sd+ card reader. I hooked it up to my computer and went into the my music folder I then just dragged some songs in to the card. Put the mem card into the phone and it worked perfectly fine. If you use the card reader you do not need to buy the usb cable for the phone..
