For about two years now I have been troubled by the keyboard on my Samsung Focus(es) becoming unresponsive. Now I have pinned it down to high humidity. As a triathlete I train with the phone either in my running pants pocket or in my cycling jersey. If I forget to put the phone in a ziploc bag and stick it straight into a pocket then go for a long bike or long run in the rain, presto, the keyboard will not work properly for days! The best way to make it recover is to put it ontop of my DVR for several days. The slightly warm, dry environment ontop of the DVR (digital video recorder)will make the keyboard recover. It does not hurt that the DVR is also on the fireplace mantle in my living room - a very nice dry, warm environment.

Windows Phone uses a special high–performance SD card that works differently than SD cards in other devices. When your Windows Phone is first set up, its internal storage and SD card are combined and recognized as one storage system.
You should not remove the SD card in your phone or replace it with a new one because your Windows Phone will not work properly. Existing data on the phone may be lost, and that SD card can't be used in other devices or Windows Phones.
NOTE: Only Certified for Windows Phone 7 MicroSD cards can be used. For more information, visit the Windows Phone Help site.
To insert a memory card, hold the device securely. Grab the back cover from the gap in the bottom middle of the device. Pull up firmly. Then unhinge the cover from the top tab and remove completely. Remove the battery.
Locate the MicroSD card slot. Insert the MicroSD card into the slot with its gold contacts facing down. Slide the MicroSD card completely into the slot.
Align the battery's exposed copper contacts with the battery connectors inside the battery compartment. Insert the battery, contacts side first, and then gently push the battery into place.
Replace the back cover by inserting the tabs inside the back cover into the holes on the top panel of the phone. Press the phone against the back cover until it clicks into place.
To format the memory card:
Simultaneously press and hold the CAMERA button, VOLUME DOWN key, and POWER key.
Once the phone vibrates, release the POWER key while still holding down the CAMERA and VOLUME DOWN keys.
When the "Format" prompt is displayed on screen, release the CAMERA and VOLUME DOWN keys, and then press the key.
NOTE: Formatting erases all user data stored on the phone and on the memory card. Once the format is completed, the Initial setup will be displayed.
Verify the available memory has been updated by tapping Settings > About.
Done!

I have and love the Samsung focus I have, but I cannot get an sd card to work on it. I purchased some sd cards for windows 7, but still I am unable to store anything on them because windows 7 will not recognize it. Any help? Thanks.
