OK So I took advantage of the Kingston deals and got the 4gb microSD for my Pearl8100. However, once inserted and attempting to format the card...it fails everytime.

Any ideas?

This may sound like a stupid question,
but is it installed correctly?

yep it's installed correctly

Good, it comes a lot.
If you have a card reader try formatting it
on your computer and then putting it
back and see if the BB sees it then.

[FLBrat]

nope no card reader on computer...hence why I was hoping to format via BB

Yeah try to format it on your computer first and then try it,

Can't format on my computer without an SD slot on my HD I'm guessing

Did the card come with a USB adapter?
If so that's your card reader. Put the microSD
card into the larger one. Put the larger card
in the adapter and plug it in a USB port.

[FLBrat]

it came with 2 adapters, but nothing that can be used in my USB port

Try taking the card out and reseating it.
Format again, if it fails, do a battery pull
(take battery out of phone while it on
leave out for 30-60 secs and put it back)

Once restarted try again.

[FLBrat]

yeah tried all that LOL

next?

[flchick75]

take it back...

Great idea!

LOL

[FLBrat]

LOL oh **** no....I'll either shell out the $10 for a USB reader to format it or beg/borrow/steal one from someone at work

[amazinglygraceless]

Sounds like a good idea, but I'm still surprised
it didn't come with one.

Nope just slightly larger casing adapaters if using in digital cameras, etc.
