Happened again with another brand new card. I hate this phone.
Interesting analogy, but don't you mean going to the same ballpark and getting hit with a foul ball on 3 separate occasions? If that happened to me, i'd still say "I hate coming to this f-ing stadium"
hey a-hole....i just had this happen to me too...8gb memory card...500+ pics a few videos and almost 900 songs....gone!Oh come on! I don't buy this. Next thing will hear is the Hero gave me testicular cancer. Please. How about we blame the cheap ass crappy memory card manufacturer, or your statically charged cry-baby hands. Oh, and why we are at it, the Hero ruined my life, and killed my dog. Then on top of everything else the Hero burned down my Grandma's house. .
Gasp...Gasp...Gasp...
Sorry about that friends. But seriously "World Of WarCraft" runs like shit on my Hero! What gives.
Just having fun...

Just happened to me this morning!!! Powered on, damaged sd card message. Wouldn't even read on my cpu. Little ticked over it but at the same time this gives me every reason to upgrade to an 8gb one like I had been putting off. Still I could kick myself for not backing up my pics
A-Data. Bought it from NewEgg (I think) over 2 years ago and have been using it in my Blackberry since then, until a couple of days ago when I moved it to the Hero.what brand card? and did you buy it off ebay?
still a low end memory card compared to sandisk and other higher end cards.. but 2 years is a decent life.. at least you didn't get a chinese knock off of a sandisk from ebay...
My phone erased all my pics and music from my memory card as well. I think it happened from not unmounting my phone from the PC.Yet another thing that's upsetting me about this phone. I bought the phone the day it was released. About 2 weeks after I'd had the phone, the I got an error saying the sd card was damaged. My computer wouldn't read it either. I'd been doing alot of resets and figured that might have been the problem. Needless to say, I lost all my photos taken in the 2 weeks and the music I had synced, irritating.
Replace it with an identical 8gb Sandisk Class 2 card. It's been working fine until today. I noticed that the album artwork stopped showing up on the music player and nothing I could do would get all of them to show. It was also bogging down, so I figured I'd power it off and back on. So now that it's been restarted, I'm showing another damaged card and my computer won't read it either. What gives? The phone doesn't really operate unless there's a memory card installed and what's the point of having a phone that loses all it's card data every month?
I'm on the new firmware and the phone is not rooted. Sandisk is supposed to be top quality when it comes to flash cards. My wife has the pixi and I've felt that I have the better phone.... up until today. At least her phone doesn't delete all her photos, videos, music and anything else she's saved on there every month.
Has anyone else had any issues? My co-worker with has a G1 and he's only on his 2nd memory card. (although the first one had the same problem with it getting damaged somehow)
My WM and Palm phones have never had any problems with damaging cards. Arghh.
