That isn't the worst part of it. I dropped the phone battery and the cover came off and the microsd latch broke off it. It just like popped off after it dropped in target like a week ago so now I can't use a ringtone nor take pictures or download music straight to my phone so is there any way to get the microsd working again? because I can't exactly replace this phone being that I had won this when that giveaway was going on back last year in december.

So any ideas on a fix for the microsd to work again?

Why not? The contacts on the micro SD need to touch the ones on the phone itself.. All the metal latch does is hold the card in place, so just stick a small piece of electrical tape over the card and that's it!

Try it out and see if it works :cool:

Well essentially I guess you could say it worked but it said its a blank sd or that I need to reformat my sd card, I probably need a new one... oh well. I think I may just switch to the G2 or Mytouch HD when it comes out anyways but I suppose it was a good tip to use electrical tape, thanks.
