I formatted it first via the phone first. Its creates various folders when it does so I would imagine you should.

You should definitely do this - I began using a TF card right out of the box w/o formatting -and it caused some problems.

It's working better now that it's formatted.

I can't locate the format option for the Transflash memory. I go into:

Phone Status -> Storage Devices ->
TRI-mmc

And I just get a status of it.

I can't find the format option anywhere else, and certainly not in the documentation.

I surmise whomever wrote this stuff is not an end-user, as it's very unintuitive!

Ah, how very "un-obvious" ;-)

Thanks.

I hope Moto does a better job next time on the docs.

You should format it with the phone, otherwise you wont be able to see your photos or mp3's under the media menus. You will always have to manually switch to the TF card to see them.
