Have you installed any apps, music, ringtones, taken pictures, etc? Or is this a freshly formatted card?

When you mount the card how much total space does it show? If it is less than 1.89 GB then you need to repartition the card. If you are using Apps2sd, then that partition is using however much space you allocated to it (probably 512mb).

If it is simply a case of **** being on the card you don't know about, then do this:
1- backup your card to a computer
2- format the card
3- verify the full capacity is now available on the card
4- move back whatever pics, music, app folders, etc. that you want.

Aps2ds? If you have formated with an EXT or SWAP partition it will only show whats on the FAT partition.
