Today's cell phones can play music, play video, store photos or do virtually anything else that users want them to do. The one thing cell phones cannot do without a little bit of a memory upgrade is store as much data as most users want them to. Fortunately, most new cell phones, including the Samsung Beat, can store more data by simply adding a microSD card.
Instructions
Installing the microSD card
1. Locate the microSD card slot on the right side of the phone and lift up the cover.
2. On the microSD card you will see metal contact pins. Make sure these pins are facing downward and gently push the card into the card slot until it is fully inserted into the phone. After installing the card the card cover will close just as it did before the card was inserted.
3. Your memory card is now installed and you can begin storing more data on your phone.
