After a back up, Rather than use the phone to format an SD card I prefer to format my MicroSD cards using this nifty computer utility and a USB reader:

It is created by the SD Card Association, is super simple, and It does a really complete job. Full Overwrite is awesome.
Thanks for posting that, Pyro. There was another one someone recommended (and actually highly recommend across different tech sites) that is through Panasonic. I haven't tried that yet, but just in case people want to do a little research before they decide which one best suits their needs.
