This is a common problem with blackberry phones......the user preset on the memory card is not passing the security check of the blackberry software, and it don't read the card partition correctly, common on chinese sd cards.....it might format or repair correctly, but when trying to playback movies on the phone, it won't read correctly from the card.....strangely, most 2 and 4gb cards work, but any higher, u need a sandisk or recognised brand, but it will work fine in other phone brands...... * +

I immediately started to back up my stuff and all went well. afterwards i reinserted my beloved mem card in my phone and everthing showed up! i have never been so relieved. I didnt even know where i'd start getting back all my stuff esp music and pics. Now all is as spicy as aromat * +
