I know these are probably n00b questions I'm about to ask, but whatever. I feel its the easiest way for me to figure it out.

I just got a new cell phone (LG VX8100) with mp3 capability and it has a port for a mini SD card. I'm not familiar with SD cards at all, or how they work. So someone correct me if I'm wrong. I wanna buy a 512MB mini SD card for my cell phone, but how do I download files to the card via my computer? Would I need a flash memory card reader? Is a mini SD card flash memory?

I just want to have a clear understanding of what I need to buy to use this feature.

You'll need a card reader.

$20 at best buy

is the memory slot for a transflash card that you would then insert into a mini sd card that reads off of the transflash? that's how my samsung is at least

the cover for the port says "mini SD" and the manual says it can hold mini SD cards up to 512MB....so to answer your question, no?

a transflash card could be put into a minisd shell and would probably work in your phone.


However thats a dumb way to do it.

Just buy a mini-sd card.

newegg has some cheaper that the crucial one, but i've never heard of the brands.

some guy just asked how to turn a flash card into a pen drive ( IT PAYS TO READ RELEVANT THREADS ON THE FRONT PAGE) ...its all flash media. that little thing will operate like a usb to mini SD converter.

grab it

i've had no problems with any of my sandisk cards (a couple 256, 512, and a 1gb).

i suggested that minimate. its nice because it allows you to not only read the card but double it as a thumb drive if you ever had the need. ive never had any problems with mine

you can use cards larger than 512, it's just that they printed 512 b/c that's what was out when they printed the manual.
