Looking for Answers about samsung Smiley :) (SGH-t359)?

Thank you for your inquiry.
Hi, there are actually 3 ways or methods on how to download music from your PC to the phone.
The first one would be via PC Studio, it is a software that we developed and you can get this for free on www.samsung.com/us. Once you are on the website, just type the model number of your phone on the search field. And under support and downloads or software just click on the lick to begin downloading of the software. You will be using a USB cable on this method and make sure that the USB mode on your phone is set to Modem. Second method would be via Mass Storage, you will need the USB cable and a micro SD card for this. The USB mode should be set to Mass Storage. And finally is via Bluetooth, you will need to connect your phone to a PC that is Bluetooth compatible as well.
Here let me show you how all the 3 methods works.

I read about your concern regarding will any micro sd card fits in your sgh-t359. I have checked my resources & the phone itself, and seems that the sgh-t359 does support the use of a micro sd card.
And so let me give you some details on how to install & what is the maximum capacity size of a micro sd card that you can insert in your phone.

Installing or Removing the Memory Card
Your phone supports an optional memory card (microSD™) for data storage of such things as music, pictures,
video, or other files. This type of memory card is designed for use with this mobile phone and other devices.
1. Use your fingernail to lift the memory card cover, then rotate it downward.
2. Insert the microSD card into the slot (as shown) and push lightly with your thumb or finger until you hear a
light click sound. Ensure the microSD’s gold contact pins face downward and the card is placed so that the
indentations on the card face the same direction as those illustrated.
3. Push the microSD card with your thumb or finger a second time to eject it from the slot.
4. Rotate the memory card cover back to the closed position and press it lightly.

Note: This phone supports memory cards of up to 16 GB capacity.
