Did you get the card off of ebay? Most of the time when a card is purchased from an "off vendor", or a site like ebay, the card is formatted to LOOK like 8gb, but can be as small as 512mb. I have used 2 different cards directly from Sandisk (8gb), in both the mogul and the touch. I also owned the 6700 but only was able to test a 6gb (via MicroSD convertor) on that phone. What the scammers on ebay do is this: They use a program that rewrites the partition table on the card. This allows you to see 8gb when you pull up the card on your computer. However, once you get past the actual physical space, the card gives you an error. To test this, take 8gb of music, and try to copy the entire thing to the card. If it works, you're good. If not, unfortunately, you have been ripped off. This has become a common problem. There are many articles on the web about this type of scam. As for the phones, a very good friend of mine is a Sprint Tier 2 tech. He told me that both the Mogul and the Touch support the 8gb cards. I have tested this on both phones, and have had no problem. If your card is not working on your phone, then it is most likely the card, and not the phone itself.
