Subject: [Leica] Have any of you had this happen with the M8?

I've had the M8 for 30 hours now and still have yet to take a frame. When I
put an SD card in, the LCD says that it is full. When I have the M8 "format"
it, a red LED blinks for about 20 minutes before I give up. I format the SD
card in another camera and put it in the M8 only to get the same "card is
full" message. I went to the Leica page that is supposed to tell me which SD
cards are compatible:
http://www.leica-camera.com/photography/m_system/m8
only to get an error message that the page cannot be found.
I have gone through all of my SD cards. The last one gave me a "535" on the
top LCD, which I assume meant that I had 535 images available on the card.
However, I got a phone call and turned the camera off. When I turned it back
on 20 minutes later, the top LCD had a "0" and the back LCD said "card is
full".

This is a real nightmare. Does anyone know where I can get to a list of
compatible SD cards?
