    I love my new Pearl 8130, but I got a 2 gig memory stick today, and although it says it is inserted when I put it in, I can't find how to format it!

    I'm sure I'm being ridiculously dumb about this, but please help me?


    Thanks

    ok, I know it probably seems silly and stupid to you, but you have completely made my night

    I did what you just said and changed it to Media Card, took a quick pic, and it works perfectly. I SO appreciate you. Thank you.

    Great point redsoxrocker it is a great link. Reed has that down to a science. Hey aries also make sure if you have pics, ringtones etc. that you have saved to your device memory that you move them to your media card.

    No ringtones, and the only pic I have saved is the one I got from here for free for my wallapaper.

    Welcome to the end of life as you used to know it. You are now addicted!

    I also have the 8130, this site is amazing. I read all the forums I can, and have learned a LOT about a lot of the blackberry phones... Although I gotta admit I'm kinda lost on the newer ones (niagra, tour, onyx, etc)

    Don't be afraid to ask "silly" questions cuz that's the only way you learn!
