I am using my 8gb card that came with my milestone and lately, it's been acting up. On many occasions, it wont even show up on my phone. it says its unavailable and i get no access to my files. I try restarting the phone and plugging it into the computer through usb and after doing that a few times, it finally shows up and i can access my files.

Is this a common problem or should i start looking for a new microSD card?
 
ok so i formatted the card on my pc and i have to say that it took a very long time for 2gb of data to be copies back to the card. when i turned on my phone, i went to the gallery and it took 2 minutes to load up my pictures. it seems like the card is acting up, correct?

It took a long time because it needed to refresh all the content.

Does the card have the same issues as before with the phone not recognizing it?

If so, maybe get a card from someone and see if it works ok, if not, then your phone is not ok.
