Thanks for advice!
I've just bought myself a MDA Vario and had a quick look for some memory cards, I've seem mymemory.co.uk are very rasonable prices, I've bought from them before and got good service.

Does somebody know if Sandisk not selling this card anymore? I bought my card in mars 2005 and now is it broken so I went out to differnt computer stores and they have never heard about this card. And the guys in the store I bought the card of was confused because they also never heard about the card and they couldn't get me a new one..

But my question was if sandisk no longer manufacture the card becuase you can't buy it on their site? And no stores doesn't have it anymore.
Sandisk
Is that the card you're looking for ?
http://www.sandisk.com/retail/c-wifi-sd.asp
I'd like to buy it too, but it seems they're not selling it anymore... Strange... It was there a month ago.
As far as I know this card was not compatible with Himalaya
it's the wifi + sdram card which dont work on himalaya the pure wifi card work ok
and he's signature say that he have a magician so i'm pretty sure that it works with wifi +sdram
I have a 512MB card installed with TomTom map, music, some apps installed, etc.
If I buy a new, bigger card, can I just use the card reader in my PC to cut/paste everything onto my new card, re-insert it into my XDA Mini and it'll all work?
Cheers
PS - can someone recommend me a good reliable place to buy miniSD cards? I'm wary of sites offering very cheap brand name cards (SanDisk, etc) in case they're fakes.
Cheers
Yes you are correct you can just transfer the data from your old card to a folder on the PC then to the new card with a card reader.
While I was in the UK I bought cards from http://www.photo-scotland.co.uk/ and in the US from Amazon.com.
Hope that helps.

Why? Okay maybe if they are pushing brand name cards, but why pay more than you have to? I got a 4gb Mini-SD card from the same Chinese shops that makes brand named cards for under $30! Try that at Best Buy. Heck you can not even BUY a 4gb Mini-SD or a 2gb Micro-SD from a big box store. At least none that I have seen. If it is all made in China, why pay the middle man???
www.newegg.com usually has good prices.
Purely because I've heard horror stories of people losing data from fake cards (mostly on PSP forums)

Yes. I've even written a full tutorial on this; see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=516&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
I had a fault with a 2gb peak card that it would randomly not be read or corrupt all the data. I swapped it for another and that works fine, ive used cheap brands in the past and this is the only one that ive had thats faulty.

I have heard stories of minsd's in particular that have been "hacked" to display as 4gb cards but only be 2gb while in use. Those of course comes from ebay.
Yes, stick with Newegg.com
I've have actually seen them, a guy tried to sell my the load of mini and micro sd cards. I can tell the firmware were hack, there was no way he had more than a hundred 4gb cards. And if your buying from ebay, buy from someone with alot of postive comments, and stay away from generics.

So i've brought it my MDA T-Mobile phone for £30 on Web'n'Walk for £32 a month
not a bad deal me thinks
any ho trying to get to know what to do with this amazing machine, first thing, get an memory card
Firstly, is this the right one and is this a good deal
http://www.memorybits.co.uk/minisd_754.php?cPath=754&sort=2a&filter_id=180
Those look like mini SD Cards. You want a Micro SD card for the Hermes.

Does anyone know the biggest sized memory card you can put in the XDA Mini S?
I currently have a 2gb mini sd card in it - I saw you can buy 4 and 8gb cards - anyone know?
Much appreciated and thanx in advance
Some 4gb cards will work, but you have to make sure they are not the ones that are high compacity cause they are formated differently. The 8gb ones will probably not work at all. There should be a thread around here somewhere that has a list of 4gb cards that will work.

I read on the first link that there is a hack for the Treo 680 which works for the Treo 750 that allows one to use SDHC. How does a product which is supposed to be incompatible with a newer technology, become compatible? Can the same basic principle found in this driver be applied to WM5 devices such as the Wizard? Is it something in the hardware for the Treo only?
memory card query.
i bought a 2gb kingston card for my mini s 5 weeks ago and had no probs at all until today, i checked my mini this morning and it says there is no card installed, i checked the card in a friends mini and in a nokia and none recognized it used my mates card and my mini picked it up instantly. did my xda kill the card? i did take the card out last night twice while i was putting some data on to my friends mini, and i never checked it after id put it back in mine last night.
i guess what im asking is do you think if was user error or a bad card? as i want to order a new one asap, and dont wish to order the same make of card if it is due to the cards incompatabilaty with the mini. however if it is due to me being a ham fisted fool, il order the same, thanks in advance for your help on this
More than likely your cards not bad, it just lost it's format. The easiest way to fix it is to put it in a card reader and reformat it again. I have a 4 Gb card and I pretty much have to do that on a regular basis and when it decides to lose it's format my wizard doesn't see it at all either.

if it is broken, don't kingston do a lifetime guarantee? and if they do you don't have to buy a new one, just get it replaced
