GOOD NEWS! The card and phone are fine!!!
Bad news . . .
I did buy a 16gb card it was on sale the box said 16GB. .. .
Well the card says 8GB
.
My fault for not looking AT the card.
Honestly if its on the 16gb rack and is in a 16gb box that has not been opened would contain a 16gb card.
Also I no longer have the box so the store will not take it back.
So my advice. Look very closely at the item and ask them if they will open it and allow you to test it. Let them plug it in something there or let you use/test yourself.
More good news! My gf is getting a free 8gb card!!!! WOOT!
