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
Best prices I have seen for good quality cards are here.....

Or try Ebay - 1gb ATP card for about £55
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.

AMEN TO THAT!
Am getting a Transcend 4Gb and will post update next week..hoping to get it by next Friday in the post :-D
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!
Just picked up my 4GB card at the PO just now.
It is the Transcend 4GB High Speed 150X card
It works on my Mini straight out of the packaging...no formatting necessary.
But if you are going to buy this card for your Mini, test it out first anyway just to be sure that it can work on your Mini. Don't buy blindly just because you read this post.
For a list of devices that are compatible with this card, visit the Transcend's website here
http://www.transcendusa.com/Support/FAQ/index.asp?axn=Detail&FAQNo=400
I didn't think Magicians could use cards bigger than 1GB?
now you know :lol:
4GB Adata SD not compatabile
Via confirmation of a buyer on ebay selling the 4GB Memory card 150X Adata Secure Digital SD; he says that this make is NOT compatible.
O2mini_noob: did you purchase your Transcend from one of those ebay far-eastern sellers?
I think I need one too- only about 100MB left on 2GB!
AData 150X 4GB won't work because the same brand 2GB failed to work on some Magician models.
I took the punt on Transcend because of this web site that claims the Transcend 4GB will work with the o2 mini
http://www.smartphonestunts.nl/index.php?tid=101
Yes, I actually bought a 2GB Adata a long time ago to find out exactly that.
The only thing holding me back from getting a 4gb is not knowing what device I will be getting next and when; will it be Standard SD or miniSD :!:
add 2 other confirms. a jam user and m500 user on modaco both confirm this card working!
Yo O2mini_noob!
Nice for you that it works, do you have a later build mini?
Please post the date when your phone was build (there must be a reason why these cards work on some magicians)
My Mini is about 4 weeks old...the firmware is 1.12 WWE with 1.12 Radio

A friend let me try a 4GB 150X Adata on my magician and it worked just fine!.
He bought it at Ebay.
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!
Can anybody tell me what is the maximum capacity of a microSD card that the Hermes can take? I want to buy the biggest it will support!
Thanks
With the newest cooked WM6 Roms, the hermes now supports SDHC cards. Thus, it should work with any of the newest SDHC MicroSD cards. The size limit is currently 4GB b/c that is the largest Micro SD card available. It should work fine with the 8GB cards when they hit the market. I currently use a 4GB Sandisk MicroSD and it works perfectly.
second that, 4gb micro sandisk. anyone find them cheaper than $100 at verizon stores? i scoured the web hard to find in stock
thnx, i probably will buy a 4gb microsd now

Best I can find is new w/ SD adapter for $70 shipped on Amazon.com from a merchant with decent ratings.

I don't know this merchant, never dealt with them so buy at your own risk

Q on 4Gb SD Micro SD Card
Hey guys,
I use an XDA Orbit which i got from UK, had the ROM upgraded to tom codon's B&B 3.5 and now going for the 3.7 version. I currently uses a 512MB SD. So I was thinking of getting a 2GB SD, but seeing that eBAy has 4GB ones I thought to get that one.
Here is the problem, I was wonderin whether it will support 4GB. can any one who had used a 4Gb tell me does it support in an orbit running WM6 B&B PDViet 3.7. How's the file transfer rate and all that. If by any chance the orbit supports a 4GB card, which type exactly, I mean the HC ones, I really donno what that is, I read it in the forum somewhere. so pls tell me.........
Cheers.
What's an Orbit?? This is Hermes area.
"With the newest cooked WM6 Roms, the hermes now supports SDHC cards. Thus, it should work with any of the newest SDHC MicroSD cards. The size limit is currently 4GB b/c that is the largest Micro SD card available. It should work fine with the 8GB cards when they hit the market. I currently use a 4GB Sandisk MicroSD and it works perfectly."
I think the cooked ROM's that now have SDHC capability are truly awesome. I use an X500 (ETEN) and I'm extremely jealous, as we don't have that capability yet !!
My question: do these new SDHC ROM's also have the ability for backwards compatibility ? That is, if you insert a 2Gb FAT16 card in the slot, will the O/S read/write OK ?
Resurrecting an old post so I don't hear "use the search funcion"...
Anyone tried one of the new 16gb cards with their Hermes?
Looking to upgrade for my BB, but want a card compatible w/ my Hermes as well...
4GB in use,i think 8GB is supported.
16Gb reported to work too, can't say as I only use an 8Gb. No probs there though...
I updated to one of the wm6.1 ROMs & i use a 16GB microSD in my Hermes (MDA Vario II)
Fat32 is the key
Since a card is formatted under FAT32 filesystem, its limit is 2 Terabytes if it is formatted with 64k clusters or 8 Terabytes under 32kb per cluster.
Of course, the actual memory card is limited to 16gb but upgraded every year.
