You've just bought a new card, time to..?

Hi guys,

I have just taken out my old card (after backing it up to the pc) and installed a new 16GB one straight into my Desire (running Froyo).

The question is, are there any recommendations for things I should do before I start loading it with apps and music?

I was thinking of rooting it...

If you plan to root and then apply a ROM, now would be a good time to get an EXT3 partition in case you want to use A2SD+. It doesn't really matter though, root does not change the card, unless you need to use a goldcard. To the best of my knowledge only Orange branded phones need this.

If you root even orange branded phones don't need the goldcard, this will only be needed to unroot the phone.

So, basically (and im starting to think I know a lot less about the phone than Id imagined)

I can install everything onto the new card and it should all be fine?

Cheers
