I installed my new pqi mini sd card to find out it only had 489.25 mb of storage on it? whats the deal with that? anyone ever had this happen?

that sounds about right. You loose some space due to the file system on the card.

I dont think there is anything wrong with your card

Squall,

Hate to correct you mate.

The reason it doesn't show 512MB is that SD card manufacturers define a MB as 1000 bytes whereas, as we all know, a MB is actually 1024 bytes hence the discrepency...

I can't help feeling it's a bit of both - Try doing the maths and I bet you can't get 512 :?:

If you do I guess I will have to eat my SD-card :)
