Specifically, what are you paying for the cards? For what size? Shipping/tax?

Thank you.

well u can add memory to your phone. their is a 1 gigabyte mini sd card thats new, and it cost me 82 bucks online, and thats the only place i think u can get it. a lot of stores have less memory, but you can use it for music, more pics, more video recordings, more everything basically.

I don't believe the 8100 supports a 1GB card. LG says its only supports up to 512MB.

Instead of buying a 256MB card for $49 at Best Buy, buy a 512MB card for $49.99 at Amazon.com with free shipping: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/- /B0007UVYI0/102-2334703-4140150.

Found out on this forum. I am just walking out the door, but will try to find it when I get home later and include a link to it. Off the top of my head, I remeber I had to go to the settings on my home computer and uncheck something regarding file extenstions, then after saving songs as .mp3, had to right click and rename them .qcp, then copy them to my card and they worked!

On menu, go to "GET IT NOW" choose 1. Get Tunes & Tones, then 3. Sounds, and they should show up there.

This was posted a few days ago but anyway check this out, seems to be the best deal around. Just be aware they don't ship it the same day so expect it to take at least 3 days to get to you:

The advantage of getting one isn't completely clear yet. If you search the forum you will find some people have been able to store and use files from the card and some haven't. It looks like it was intended to be used with the MOD (Music On Demand) service, which hasn't been implemented by Verizon yet. So buy it at your own risk . . . 🙂

I received this miniSD Card in 5 days from date of my on-line order. It comes with the adapter. It can be used as a SD Card (using the adapter) or as a miniSD Card (not using the adapter). Good price I thought. I selected the free shipping option.
