I am shopping for big SD Card with Xmas Bonus :lol:
I have searched but can't find any info on the maximum adressable memory for storage card slot or advanced specs to match cards, can anyone shed some light?
I had been using a 2gb card since I got my Universal in October and just today received my 4gb card in the mail. I transfered everything over (plus a lot more) including several programs that are installed to the storage card and it's been fine so far.
I have a 1GB card now, 4gb is the largest available at the moment, but we should be seeing 16 and 32 GB cards next year , look here:
http://www.sdcard.com/europe/TextPage.asp?Page=2
The universal must have a limit on adressable memory and I wondered where we would have to stop? Also what is the card speed, there are 133x and 150x around, is it worth getting the faster cards or what?

Dont bother, doesnt make a blind bit of difference to your PPC... only when transferring data to your desk/lap top... high speed cards are for high end digicams
philtech44 - now i understand why transfer takes longer through activesync to device than card reader many thanks
my 1GB card is an integral, cost £40 from local indie phone shop
Should I get an "Ultra II Mobile high-performance memory card", or ultra II does not make a difference when used in a WIZA200? And, is a qtek9100/WIZA200 able to detect miniSD up to 2GB or more even? Thanks for any advice before I buy my miniSD card for my phone. (anyone has a good link to buy miniSD online please let me know, thanks!!)

2GB is fine for this device. What you are referring to is nothing but a marketing slogan of the manufacturer. Just get one with the highest read/write speed.

I bought one of each (I am guessing you mean Sandisk) from NewEgg. Loaded both with the same music and video and tried to see if I could detect a difference. Didn't see any so I returned the more expensive one!
Thanks for replies! Really appreciate it
..will get the regular one from newEgg
thanks again, Morgan
Hello all, anyone know what the max card support for the universals sd/mmc reader is
Thanks
Hi there,
If I'm not wrong, the manual says clearly that universal can read/write SD cards up to 2GB (unless someone with a better expertise than me knows something different).
In any case, this is not completely right, many people uses 4GB cards (including me), but it seems that not all the applications can cope with them, photo camera is one of them, if I'm not wrong, it will not save the photos to the SD unless it has 2GB or less free space.
Somewhere else in this forum, someone else said that he even uses a sam..ung 8GB SD card (very expensive).
Hope this helps

Yup i use a 8GB Samsung SD Card to watch DVD's. I dont have the time to encode DVD's to avi xvid format so i just copy them directly to the 8GB card and watch them on the tcpmp player. Quite fun i believe. I am waiting for the 32GB SD Card release by samsung and sandisk.
im using the 4gb 150x sd card from mobymemory (£47) no probs! nice and quick too noticed tomtom load quicker.
also im using the newest qtek rom and the camera stores to card no probs (dont have to have 2gb used as per some other complaints)
Im getting the 4gb Transcend sd card soon.. im currently using 2gb transcend but I soon realized it still isnt enough...the bigger, the better of course
nuclear, I don't understand... how is an 8GB SD card possible??? 4GB should be the absolute max.
Does the Universal support SDHC in one of the newer ROMs or something?

Well the device will always show you 2000MB regardless of the ROM. But you can put more than 2000MB on your 8GB card and it will read all the files and you can use them. Its just that at this part the memory monitor will show your SD card in the negative section or full. All SD Card are compatible in the HTC Universal. Enjoy.
I am waiting for the 32GB SD Card by Samsung and SanDisk
Brain... does... not... compute.
Nuclear, I need more info. What card did you get? What brand? Is it SD or SDHC? How did you format it?
What's different about the Universal that makes it possible?!?

Its a SD. Samsung 150X 8GB SD Card for $200 or so. I formatted it when i insert it into the Universal. Then i hooked it up to my PC. Transfered a DVD into it. And then back into the Universal and it played the DVD!!!
Hmmm I got one of these

MUCH faster transfers when you put it straight in your PC. I'm thinking of getting the new 2Gb version soon

My Universal screwed up my precious 4GB SanDisk Extreme III card and my 8GB Samsung. Literally it made my 8GB to 2GB and my 4GB to 2GB. I lost 6GB of space on my 8GB card into nothing. I am contacting tech support all day and this is what they posted. THE MAX IS 2GB!!!! >>>>>.<<<<< scary ;(

I was going through the SD specifications, and it looks like that SD 1.1 could support up to 64GB (!!!) using 32KB clusters.
Unfortunately, this won't ever happen, since SD 2.0 flags anything above 2GB as a memory error.
8GB should be possible because FAT32 defaults to 4KB clusters, which would match. Larger capacity would need reformating to match the larger SD clusters, but technically it should be possible, IMHO.
So probably some of the Samsung OEMs do work at 8GB using SD 1.1. But I'm seeing the new auctions say SD 2.0 compatible only.
Oh well, I can live with 4GB, but I hope Windows Mobile adds support for SDHC and MMCplus.
Nuclear, the 4GB Sandisk I believe is SDHC, so it will probably screw things up. The 8GB Samsung you could probably reformat on your PC.
If you have an SDHC and an SD USB reader, use the SD one, as the SDHC one might force you down to 2 GB.
Hey, it's just my guess from reading the specs.

My SanDisk 4GB Extreme III is a SDHC? I was sure i bought a SD only. It says SD on it....
As for my 8GB my PC detects it as only 2GB. Reformatted and again only 2GB. I know another way to fix it. Partition MagiC!!! I lost 6GB in partition space. And same with the other 4GB card. Once i partition it every 2GB it will make 3 cards in 1 . Well stay tuned and i will let you know how paritioning the space helped.
I am buying some stuff from Amazon tonight, and was going to get a 2 gig card. Is there a list of compatible 2gb cards for the Wizard or will all of them work?
I see that the sandisk cards are more expensive, so was wondering if anybody had heard of Transcend.
I'd love it if somebody could answer pretrty quickly, as I need to make the order tonight.
Thanks!
hi my friend i had a 1 trascend memory card 2 gb and works find in my wizard i could recomend if your memory is only for music you will need a 4gb memory
enjoy it
Thanks
There are different types of 2gb thoug, which to go for?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Transcend-T...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1180986993&sr=8-1
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Transcend-M...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1180986993&sr=8-7
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Transcend-T...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1180986993&sr=8-6
They vary in price, but is there a real difference?

If I were to choose between the three, the first one would be the winner. The second two are the same one and only run at 45X. The first runs at a speed of 80X. So, if you want a faster, more responsive card, get the first. Sure it costs a bit more, but it's worth it, in my opinion.
yeah the speed no all the lectors read a 150x mini sd or 200x mini sd
well i recomend you the:2 link is like mine
enjoy it
Thanks for the replies, I decided to just spend more and go with a kingston 2gb.
Hello,
I'm looking at buying an 8GB SDHC card for my Kaiser, and i was wondering, will the 8GB card have any effect on battery life??
Cheers,
Rob.
I'm no expert, but I don't see why it should. Its not like an 8gb storage card is an application- its simply storage. I haven't any difference since moving up from a 2GB memory card to an 8GB memory card....
But then again, thats just my humble opinion...
Cheers for the reply, i didn't think it would make any difference either.
Just wanted to check!!
where can i get a 32 gb . I know they make one.
There are no 32GB microSDHCs just yet -- you may be thinking of full size SDHC.

32GB memory cards are meant to be realeased in April sometime-but I assume like most good things, its sell date will be pushed back
