First off, my old phone was a palm pre. Just in case this sounded like a stupid question.

Secondly, I went through the tips n tricks section and also did multiple searches through the forum.

Is there a way to have every thing moved automaticlly to my sd card?
If I take a video our picture, or download an app.
Or do I have to move every thing manually?

Thanks

You can set your camera to automatically save pictures and videos to your external sd card. Apps you have to move manually, but I see no reason to do so. 2GB is ample storage for Apps. For the rest of the space, movies, music and the usual odds and ends. Although I don't even keep music on my phone anymore with Google Music.

I'd say my biggest use for my 32gb external card is recording my kids and home video in 1080p. Those files are pretty big and can eat up a card quick.

JayWill72 hit it on the head. I have just under 4 gigs of music. Transformers 1 and 2 which are about 2 gigs each as well as record vid and shoot pics periodically.
The larger files like those are what you need to be concerned with. Samsung did a pretty good job allocating memory for apps on this device.
