the sd reader is for laptops I think...I have one and two cards btw.........buy the USB cable and cd for your specific phone somewhere (ebay) and install it on your computer. Transfer the files that way....

yea if you have a micro sd reader youre set. i only have an SD reader, they make an adaptor thouhg to put the micro in a regular sized SD card. SD slots are common on computers now because theyre in many digital cameras

Micro SD's aren't just for laptops. My LG enV uses it. Just have a card reader and put the micro sd in the card reader and connect it to the computer. Depending on what you're using it for and how the device operates will vary on how you can use or where to put music, songs, pics, etc.

what does it mean if on the ebay page the buyer states that "item is not retail packaged"

is this good or bad?

use the an micro sd adaptor; its faster than usb cables.

ok i bought one from radio shack for $30 for a 2g one. i was only saving a few bucks on ebay for a new one on there. and i dont have to wait for it to get here, since i need it right away, cuz i had to save pics on comp b4 returning a phone, etc..

I've noticed that i cant watch the vids or play any audio that i transferred to my computer, because the computer doesn't know what file to open it with. i tried opening it with the media center and it said that it couldnt read the files.

what program do i need or need to download so that i can view the vids and listen to my memos??

Probably .mp4 or .3gp. You can use VLC player to play those.

On my phone all I have to do it rename the files. I have to add .jpg to pics and .avi to video...yours may be the same.

My phone uses 3gp files as videos. There are several converting programs out there. I use MPEG Encoder. Also, when I format the memory card with my phone, it automatically creates the required folders.
