My wife's elite has an 8gb sd card in it that is nowhere near full but I can't get any apps to move to the sd card it just gives me the option to either move to phone or move to internal memory. The in internal memory is full and I don't want to for the phone. I want to fill the sd card. Any ideas???

If you are not rooted (as I am not), apps can only be stored on the "internal storage," not on the external (removable) micro SD card. The micro SD can only store music, photos, and vids. There is no option around this.
You can move any apps that do not have to boot on phone start-up into that internal storage area. Select Menu > Settings > Manage Applications. Select the app and press "move to internal memory." The gauge strip at the bottom of the Manage Application screen shows how much internal memory has been used and how much is left. Under the Internal Memory listing of loaded apps (top of screen, third selection from left), the check-marks indicate apps stored in internal memory that can be moved to the phone memory to boot on start-up. Any unchecked apps are the ones you want or need to start at phone start-up, the checked ones do not need to run on start-up. Some apps do not give you the option of moving them to the internal storage because they must run at phone start-up.
If you cannot gain extra space by deleting and/or moving apps between the internal and phone storage, you may have to root the phone. Other forum members can answer what you can do, if anything, after root. I do not recommend rooting unless you know what you are doing.
I hope this helps answer your question and good luck.
