NOTE
On Android OS 2.3 and above, you can
download applications from Android
Market and store them on a micro SD
card as well as on the phone. Due to
this feature, if you skip the unmount
procedure, it can cause an error
because information between the
micro SD card and the phone is not
accorded properly. In the worst case,
the micro SD card can be corrupted
or damaged.

Key
and tap Settings > SD card &

the microSD card from the slot.
Warning
Do not remove the micro SD card
without unmounting it first. Otherwise,
it may damage the micro SD card
as well as your phone, and the data
stored on the micro SD card may be
corrupted.
Formatting the microSD card
