my camera and my card use mini-sd cards(the camera needs an adaptor) I carry a 4gb in the phone and a 4gb in the camera and I just pop the one from the cam into the phone to see whats on it, if its something worthwhile, I'll just swap cards and view at home, the speed of the camera downloading and the phone uploading is too slow for me, plus verizon likes using some goofy software as well...hope that helps
