Okay, now that I have the card in my RAZR V3m, how the heck do I get it out? Thanks in advance.

1)A note- after you get it out, I suggest that you cut a little piece of tape with a tab, that you place on the area that is 'underside' the card, and hangs over into the battery compartment. This makes the t flash card slide out without 'hanging up' on the little ledge.
That said, I had to use a ....little flat blade screw driver VERY carefully to exert pressure agianst the little raised area to get mine out.
I had to put enough pressure to get hold of the lip, but not too much. I also slipped a very thin piece of plastic under the card to help it slide out.
Possible a piece of tape on both sides of the t flash card to provide a tab to pull on might work.
Tape made of teflon would be nice.......

Many, many thanks for the advice. Using a jeweler's screwdriver, I finally managed to get the card out without destroying it or the phone. Now I see what you mean about how the plastic tab on the side of the phone's memory slot catches the edge of the card to retain it. Scraping the screwdriver tip across that tab several times rounded it off enough that the card slides out easily now. VZW sure doesn't want you to use anything but their PIX service, do they?

Actually, I placed a piece of tape across that 'bump' of apiece of plastic! I used a screwdriver to push against the plastic tang on the t flash card to get it out. It gets easier with time.
A little 'modding' of the phones' plastic sounds like a GREAT idea.
I have used my card a lot in the last month, taking a lot of pictures while bicycling over on the islands.
