    Can someone tell me how to format a media card. I put it in my BB8830, piece of cake and then my MAC found it. Do I still need to format it? How do I do it?
    Thanks!!

    I have a related question. I got the memory card in and realized I needed to take it out to format it. Now I can't get the lock/unlock door to open. Has anyone had this issue while the memory card was in? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have tried for hours to format my media card that I purchased from AT&T on my Blackberry Curve and it just hangs the phone waiting for me to take out the battery.

    I tried downloading PocketMac thinking that that might enable me to format the card but PockeMac can't even see the Blackberry.

    I went to a Windows PS and installed the software off of the supplied disc and that didn't work either.

    The above activities have taken up about 7 hours of my time!

    I probably should have purchased an iPhone instead!

    Do you need to format your memory card?
    I loaded some documents on there and sent me an email to test that it works properly and I can open the documents fine. Is there a benefit to formatting? Do you format only if it doesn't work after you place it in your BB?

    I am having this same problem on my 8330. I just upgraded to the Hybrid 131/160, and have installed a 16GB Sandisk card. Whenever I try and format it it just freezes. Or it is taking forever to complete a format. How long should it take?

    anyone figure out the freezing issue? I just got a new memory card today and I'm on my third try of formatting it. After plugging it in and turning the BB on, I get a message that I need to format the card. When I format it, the whole phone just freezes. No bar telling me it's formatting, nothing. Just the Media Card screen.
