which brand is the best for GPS?
try to stick to the ones made in japan e.g....
toshiba
lexar
simpletech
panasonic
hitachi
kingston
they offer fastest data rates i have a 1gb peak ultra 60x sd and it isnt as fast as my simpletech 256mb o i use that for tomtom as the 1gb one makes it freeze alot
gaz
I use ATP and only ATP - their SD cards have never given me a problem and the 1Gb version works flawlessly with my TomTom
They have a 2Gb version out now too - bit expensive tho
where can i get those sd made japan m8?
i dont think i could get 1g atp sd in UK for less than 50quid.
you can try ebay, expansys.co.uk, ebuyer.com, dabs.com, svp.co.uk, komplett.com
many sites just go with the brands i put down

Good buy
I puchased an SD card from moby memory on the friday before xmas. Arrived next day.
Was hoping to buy a mini and adapter for use in my JASJAR but a large price difference at the time.
Wow this has come down fast to what I paid for a hi speed normal size SD card.
Can anyone confirm that it works with the Wizard? TY
4gb sd card
I brought a 4gb transcend on us ebay.com and it woks well. Reccomended.
4GB minisd
You are telling that you have bought a "4gb" transcend "mini-sd" working well on a HTC Wizard or am I completely lost ?
He probably means 4gb SD card; I have not seen/heard rumours of 4gb mini-sd for sale as yet.....
You'd think so judging by the MDA Pro in his signature details.
Already 2 weeks into my O2 mini and I'm looking for a 4Gb card. I have a 2Gb card but have already loaded in a Lexipedia (concise Wikipedia), some video files, mp3s, and about 500MB reserved for photos, internet radio recording, offline web pages, and voice + phone call recording. Need more space for my VCD series so I can watch on the train.
Apparently, one store in Australia clearly stated on their website that any 2Gb High Speed cards 133X 150X will not work with the O2 Mini...yes, there are some users on this board who have got 150X cards running fine on their Magician but is not the norm.
Pretty much the Sandisk Ultra II and SanDisk normal SD card of 2G works fine on the Magician. So I'm looking for 4Gb cards that are around 60X or lower.
Checked on ebay and practically everyone's selling the Transcend and/or Adata 150X 4Gb SD cards which I doubt will work on the Magician. So hopefully in the coming months, if not sooner, Sandisk will make a normal 4Gb SD card.
There was a thread on the the accessories section a while back. Basically, if you want a sure bet, try the 4GB AData MMC (the green one, not the pink SD). A user reported that these definitely work. There are a ton selling on eBay as we speak for ~£120 inc p&p.

I second that.
Running a normal Sandisk 2GB without Problems!
Unfortunately all the 4Gb's on ebay seem to be the high capacity 150X ones (pink ones). That's why hopeful that they will release the green 60X ones
The 4GB Sandisk works with the Jam, but it doesn't work correctly with normal readers for the desktop that are out on the market right now. Sure, you can put movies and large files on the 4GB, but try putting a ton of photos and smaller files, such as map data. I found that the Sandisk 4GB version fails after a while, time and time again. My 2 GB Sandisk works flawlessly. Fortunately for me, my retailer off eBay has refunded my payment and I am sending his card back.
Hi gadgetman901,
Very curious as to how you managed to get your hands on a Sandisk 4Gb when there is no info about it on the Sandisk official website. Tried to search on ebay for it but the only 4Gb cards that showed up was an Ultra II that looks exactly like a Sandisk but is not a Sandisk brand.

It was on eBay a few weeks ago. The reseller does not have them listed on eBay right now. I called Sandisk when I first got it, and was having trouble formatting it with my laptop and desktop. They said that it was a counterfeit, but the reseller told me that he got them from Asia where they just were released. Regardless, the 4 GB showed up on my PPC and Desktop as 3.78 GB FAT32; however after copying my files from my 2GB to the 4GB, it pooped out every time. There was something definitely wrong with this card. I got my money back so I am still in the market for a 4 GB. Does the card you listed work with the Jam and Window XP computers??
No I haven't got any 4Gb cards. I would probably agree that the card you bought was counterfeit. Which probably is good news..when Sandisk release their 4Gb card, it should work on our Magicians
gentlemen, the 4GB is for sure a fake, please be carefull when someone offers you such cards. they are at most 512M if you are lucky and the ID on the SD is set for 4GB sundisk etc. this is also true for flash disks (disk on key) where in every market in china you can find 8GB sony - which are actually 128/256. Be carefull.
Counterfeit Sandisk 4Gb looks so real

You won't know unless you checked Sandisk's website and contact them whether this is the real article or not. If not for this forum, I'll probably be buying that one.

Yep... that's the one I bought! I couldn't believe that it is a fake! It looked so real and registered as 3.78 GB. At least this reseller has good customer service. Once I alerted him of this issue, he immediately refunded me, and I sent it back. Based on the forums I have read, I decided to get the Adata 4 GB MMC card. I feel good about this card and will post results.
MMC vs SD
Is MMC generally slower than SD?
I have a 1Gb 60X MMC card that benchmarked at 0.46MB/s on my handheld (without FAT backup, with FAT backup, it is 0.43MB/s) compared to a standard Sandisk 2Gb at 0.64MB/s
Not much difference in speed but precious seconds is important if you use the external card for internet browsing
the reason why they were so quick in refunding you is it is a fake and they probably know!!!
Anyways good that it turned out OK.

Hi,
I just bought a extrememory 4 GB 133x SD Card for my new XDA Neo.
Just for a test I put it in my Magician....
And it works flawlessly
andilein
Pretec 4gb 133x
ive had the pretec 4gb 133x since the 1st week of january and ive had no problems ever since
I've got an Adapt 4GB SD 150x and it is really great.
If you need one contact me!
Wondering what people's thoughts are on this:

It's not a 'big' brand and the price seems very cheap for a 2GB card.
John
After shipping it's about 20-25 quid cheaper than retail and it claims to be a 150x (22meg a second transfers card).
Only had my Wizard a week and took me a few days to actually find 2gb Mini-SD's in stock with a UK retailer.
I ended up with this:
http://www.mobymemory.com/proddetail.asp?prod=miniSD_2048mb_MOBY_001
However, some of the card readers I have will not read the card via the provided SD adapter - I was warned of this and do have a newish card reader which does, as does the one in my laptop.
Works fine in the Wizard though and tbh speed to me is unimportant considering the speed of the devices processor.
If you get one and have success with it, please drop a note back.
I have seen the Mobymemory one, their price for the 1GB card seems unbeatable pretty much but I'm tempted by this 2GB card as I can get the postage cheaper using a Paypal code as well.
John
I had a Zynet SD card for my XDA2s. It worked beautifully, and continues to work in my digital camera.
I got A 'MyFlash' 2gb 60x mini-sd card off ebay last week. It took like 6 days tops to get here and works great, even in my tempermental in-built SD reader.
How much did you pay for the Myflash one?
Thanks for the feedback on Zynet, tempted to go for this now.
John
Came to about £80 including shipping and insurance
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7589600960&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT&rd=1
I remember reading somewhere that a higher speed SD card will drain the XDA battery faster.
If you're not looking for the fast cards, some reasonable prices here as well:
http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Mini-SD
The 2G Sandisk card isn't actually in stock with them yet though.
John
1G is more than enough 4 me...-_-#
I was kinda hoping of picking this up...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EEZEVC/104-8849050-7307124?_encoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=172282
But I don't know if I can wait until May!
I've decided to go for a 1GB card for now, I can always buy another 1GB card so both my HTC devices can benefit from it.
John
4 gig cards are meant to start shipping this month.
OK - i know they will start at an unrealistic premium - but does anyone know if 4 gig (or more that that which is likely to be out by summer) will work in the wizard?
Seems cheap for a 2Gb memory card of any size. I'd recommend mymemory.co.uk for memory cards, and they have a 2Gb Sandisk MicroSD for £54.99.
Seems cheap to me, but sandisk's one of the best makes for memory cards.
i use the moby memory2gb minisd - 80ish quid delivered next day and works well
I think are more cheap at:

I have used them often and they offer a good service (based in the chanel islands). However they have been out of stock of the 2 gig cards for a while now.
They have a facility whereby you give them your email and they will contact you when the cards return to stock.
http://www.mymemory.co.uk/item_out_of_stock.php?id=1239
Incidentally, I have had only one memory card fail on me, and it was the sandisk 32 meg that came with the siemens SL45 as standard.
The SL45 seemed years before its time - it seems crazy to think there were phones with memory cards in 2000 and even now a minority have them.
Hey guys, I got a SanDisk 512mb miniSD already, but it's about to fill up, and wanted to get recommendations on a 2GB miniSD card, which one's the best to get? Fastest? etc, for a Cingular 8125.. Thanks!
Beuller? Fry? Anyone?
i have sandisk and am quite happy with my 2gb card.
dunno about speed tho, sorry.
joe
TopRam rocks!
IMHO, avoid SanDisk. I have had several of their cards (different formats) go bad. I now have a TopRam 2gb card in my 8125. I bought it off ebay. Before you think TopRam is some fly-by-night company, they use Samsung RAM chips in their cards. It is noticeably faster than the SanDisk 1gb I previously used. You notice the speed difference when taking and viewing pictures using the card.
Also, I had a problem with the SanDisk where the 8125 would not "see" the card when it was re-inserted. I would have to soft-reset to fix. I have not had this problem with the TopRam.
I'm still struggling with my old buddy 128M card...
No issues so far with my Sandisk 2 gig card...
Just got a SanDisk 2G miniSD from eBay...work great....
I am using my sandisk 2gb mini and no problems so far on the 8125
patriot 1GB here...so far so good
I purchased a 2GB U-TEK MINI SD card on ebay for $75 plus $7 shipping. It also uses Samsung components and claims 150x speed. I can't compare it to any other cards since I don't own any other miniSD cards. But it seems to work great, and it was a very good price. No complaints so far.
I am a consultant to sandisk and they provided me with the following information that might be of help.
"SanDisk recently broke one major ring of counterfeit products in China
being sold on eBay. Today we believe up to 50% of products sold in the
"used" market to be counterfeit. We recommend only buying products from
authorized dealers. In Asia all products have a hologram on the retail
package and products that are bought without packaging or without a
hologram are suspect."
I bought a 2GB mobymemory card and it's been fine. A mate (with the same phone) bought a 2GB SanDisk and has had no problems either. When we've compared acces speeds, they seem the same.
Thats cool.
The card in my 9100 is also fine.
Although i lost one on the first day taking the phone outta my jeans pocket pushed the card in and it popped out!
