Can't format my memory card!

Alright, so the other day I got a Samsung T-439. I already filled up the internal memory, so I wanted to buy a memory card so I could take more videos and pictures. Sounds simple, right? I went to Target today and I bought a Micro SD card that came with an adapter. It's the right card, it fits correctly in the slot, and I'm putting it in the right position (I'm a pretty tech-savvy person when it comes to this stuff in most cases).

But now I'm stumped. First of all, the manual says nothing about formatting a memory card for the phone, but I did manage to find some directions online (which for some stupid reason I can't link to because I don't have "20 posts"). Despite following the directions and my own intuition, I still can't get the blasted card to work!

Here's what I'm doing:
1. Put the card in the computer and click on 'My Computer', then right-click on Removable Disk H:\ and click 'Format..' (then it comes up with 1.87GB for the capacity, FAT32 for the file system, and then I click 'Start' and seconds later 'Format Complete' pops up.)

2.
a.)Take out the card and put it into my phone. Then according to Samsung's instructions I'm supposed to go to Menu --> Fun and Apps --> Files --> Memory Card --> Options --> Memory Card Info --> Format. However, half the time I can't the only thing under 'Options' is 'Create New Folder', there is nothing saying 'Memory Card Info' for me to be able to select 'Format'.

b.) The other half of the time though, however, it does give me the option to go to Memory Card Info --> Format (I don't know why it shows it sometimes, and other times it doesn't... weird.) So when I click on 'Format' it tells me "Formatting will erase all data. Continue?" and when I hit "Yes" it ends up telling me "Error" and that's it.

I'm so confused! I've contact Samsung about this and haven't heard back from them. Is the phone a dud? Is the memory card a dud? Is there another way to format it? I'm so lost right now!
