Ahh, at last!
"Only" 3 months later than announced...
Now I've got to wait until they arrive in Belgium (or if I should find a reasonable deal on the internet somewhere).
Same here, waiting for them to hit the US....
sweet...why can't u order it and have it shipped to the US?
Just curious, what are you going to do with 16 GB card?
myself, I would do twice what I already do.
will these work on computers or our kaisers?

Yes, yes they will.
thank you for the response cbass, the reason I ask is because I bought an 8 gb hc card for my computer and it would not recognize it, do you think that I need an external card reader? thanks
Does anyone try a 8 GB microSD on Kaiser? Is it really working? What ROM do you use for this?
I'm using a 6GB microsd card but I've seen plenty of users with an 8GB microsd card on this forum.
It doesn't really matter what ROM you're using, the Kaiser supports microsd HC (high capacity) cards, which allows the usage of cards beyond 2GB (-> 4, 6, 8 and the newest 16 GB).

I've been using a SanDisk 8GB on my Kaiser for almost a year now with no issues. I'm using the stock WWE ROM the device shipped with.
What class are these sandisk cards?
Personally I want to hold out for C6 or C8 cards before upgrading my 6GB C4
AFAIK they're C4 cards. I'm going to wait for C6 or 8 to come out too, the C4s do run a little slow.
I'm using my 8GB card, which I also used in my XDA Orbit (with cooked SDHC drivers), since I've had it. No issues at all.
I don't think I really need 16GB right now, I've still got 2.5GB free on my current 8GB card, but my music collection is expanding, and I think Tomtom Navigator 7's map files are larger too... Maybe soon.
Chris
is patriot a relaiable brand for the micro sd?
is it just me or the picture on the website http://www.mobymemory.com/products/SanDisk/SanDisk-16GB-microSDHC-Memory-Card.asp
looks like its been photoshopped
It definitely looks photoshopped. The number 6 in the 16 is not the same color or size as the number 1 nor is it the same font as the rest of the words. You can also clearly see the square around the 6 showing that the 6 was cut from another image.
Hey guys,
Whats the largest micro sd I can place in my Leo... Currently have an 8 GB in there but am quickly filling it since having movies / music on it like no tomorrow!!
Any help would be great, thanks dudes.
You didn't find the answer anywhere on the net? In that case, they can hold a max of 128GB.

I've got a 16GB in mine and it works perfectly. I'll get a 32GB but want the price to drop before I do. They're still quite pricey.
16GB is suiting me fine. I have a seperate 8GB one for putting movies and stuff on. It just means I have to have CorePlayer installed on the device so I can switch cards and still play movies.
Edit:
Ignore the above comment by lude219. 128GB cards won't be available until next year at the earliest. 32GB is currently the largest on the market. There will be 64GB (and possibly 48GB) soon, but not yet.
Thank you johncmolyneux, I think I might wait a bit and get a 32gb just to be sure!
Thanks for your help dude.
*Any mods may now close this thread as I have had a helpful answer.*

can't find any 32gb micro sds on amazon or ebay? only normal sized SDHC cards.
Samsung expect their 32GB to be in the market by February according to their recent announcement, I expect Sandisk will want to be released for sale by then also.
Class 6 cards are available from non-Sandisk manufacturers by the way.
im guessing the will charge a ridculous amount...probs about £50 or some ****
16 Gb is the maximum today.
There is NO 32 gb on the market at this time, but expected.

is that because of hardware or software? i had an old HTC Excalibur that ran winmo 5.0 back in the day. got a 8 gig card that wouldn't read in it until i flashed it to winmo 6.5. after that, it read the card no problem. funny thing is the 'fine folks' over at T-Mobile assured me that nothing over 4GB would ever work in my phone.
so i wonder, with our devices being able to run winmo, android, different variations of linux, etc... could it be just a software problem?
The HTC HD2 can only hold up to a 32 gig 2.0 Micro SD card. Click the link for proof, notice the "Expansion" in the spec list, oh yeah this is straight from HTC.

interesting info
so i started surfing around, looking for more info on this topic. i found a thread from another forum citing some interesting conversation regarding the same issue. to quote from page 5 of that forum...
"What the SD 4.0 specification will add is another pin to SDXC cards which will enable the higher read/write speeds. The rest of the pins will still be present and will still act exactly like they used to. So SDXC cards will always be compatible with SDHC readers, you just won't be able to read/write from them at 300mbit/s. And that's where a firmware update can't change things; no firmware update will allow the camera to use an SDXC card at its full, currently-non-existent future speed because that extra pin interface won't be present.
'But a firmware update CAN add support for exFAT, so all the other benefits of SDXC can in fact be added to our cameras through a firmware update. These benefits include higher capacities, larger maximum file size, and faster file deleting (because that's an exFAT feature, not an SDXC feature).
'It should be noted that the higher capacities have nothing to do with exFAT. FAT32 can have volumes up to 2 TB in size. The 32GB limit on SDHC cards was artificially imposed by the SD 2.0 specification, and has now been lifted with SD 3.0. However, the larger maximum file size IS a benefit of exFAT, because files used to be limited to 4 GB on FAT32."
so i gotta think this will also apply to any other device that can physically run an SDHC card.
let the debate begin

Hmmmm interesting conversation there, I read all six pages by the way. The one guy seemed to be pretty sure of himself. But from what he said if you use a SDXC card that uses extFAT in a decice that does not support extFAT. It will reformat it with Fat 32 making it a regular SDHC card without the extra advantage of the higher speeds that a SDXC reader that does support extFAT can use.
right, that's what i got out of it too. but the big bonus there is that even with the reformat, the space on that card is still accessible, be it 'just' sdhc speeds. that's ok though, cuz that's what we're used to. i'd really like some of the xda developers to take a look at this and see what they can do.
on a somewhat related note, there's a program i use on my laptop called 'macdrive' which allows me to view previously unrecognized files and partitions which windows doesn't see naturally. this allows me to tri-boot (linux, mac, and windows) and modify each of those partitions from any one of the systems.
point here, is that even if there is initially a problem reading the data on a sdxc card, it seems that problem is only with the software not hardware and therefore can be modified.
if i could program i'd start experimenting myself.

This is very true, and I am in the same boot as you. I wish I had the dev knowledge and skills to start working on something for this, or a real dev could get there hands on this and see what is possible. I guess the only true way to put this to the test is for someone to get there hands on one of these beast of a SD card (64 to 128 gig what ) and stick it in the HD2 to see what it does.
I am still deliberating wether to get the HD2. One thing that worries me is the quite limited storage capacity with the microSD card. As far as I understand the microSD (SDHC) standard only supports up to 32GB capacities. I know 32GB is quite large, but I anticipate my needs will grow.
My question is - will HD2 be able to use the 64Gb, 128GB .... cards that come out probably one year from now.
Thanks for your help
Seeing 32GB cards aren't available yet, and we've been waiting for them for like 2 years, I'm pretty sure you'll have changed your HD2 before 64GB cards are here
But to the question, no idea. That would depend on whether drivers that support the new format extension are made available.
I believe 64GB is here in couple of months. Blackberry rumours are that new devices will come with support for 64GB microsd cards.
http://forums.crackberry.com/f2/32-64gb-micro-sd-cards-275113/
My friend ordered 2 usb sticks 64GB - 22USD each but I haven't seen them yet (I hope he gets them). That tells me that prices are still in freefall.
Sandisk is actually developing 128GB micorsd card: http://www.physorg.com/news143893844.html
I guess the problem is not with the sheer size of the microsd (ok that is important if you have a huge music library or movies or something else that needs to be on your phone all the time), but how fast it is while copying. If you put it in your phone and connect usb, how fast is it in disk mode? 20 MB/s?
HD2 has a microSDHD slot, which supports a maximum capacity of 32GB - or will it be able to use microSDXC cards? Is's probably more than a "firmware" upgrade from SDHC to SDXC.
I agree read and write speed are very important to - has anyone done any tests on the speed of the microSD slot?
20MB/s seems optimistic...
It's microSDHC... which means a maximum of 32GB.
microSDXC cards with more than 32GB will NOT work.

Well, SD to SDHC was a firmware upgrade away for many common controllers. But I've just done a little search and it seems that it might not be the case for SDHC to SDXC indeed.

It obviously depends a lot on the card used, some will take 3MB/s while some will take 20MB/s...
It does seem that it's a bit slower than a usual card reader, around 5MB/s with my class 6 8GB Sandisk card vs ~12 in a good card reader.
does HD2 support micro SDHC 64GB card?
Hi,
Here is a real eBay link to buy 64GB Micro SDHC card.
So we can put availability-problem aside.
Is it written in Micro SDHC specification that the limit is 32GB?
I dont see any 32GB size limit for Micro SDHC.
I would like to buy 64GB Micro SdHC
Can someone please tell me whether HD2 supports 64GB Micro SDHC?
Thanks in advance
Edit: confirmed that 64GB card works and its in use over a couple of years.

Just check in Google and don´t let Yourself be misled by wishful thinking: 32 GB mSD cards were announced by Sandisk in Feb 2009 and still we have to wait for shipping them by expansys or easydevices.co.uk until end of May 2010, maybe June..........
Do You really think an ebay-offer of 64GB is serious ? It is only that You BELIEVE in this offer since You badly want it ! It is like believing in a religion because You HOPE that someone else might tackle with Your problems and hopes. But there is NO such other, because it does not EXIST, as well as 64 GB mSD do not exist and will not exist for the next years.
Nobody will develop them, ´cause there will be no market for them ! When 64 GB + mSD cards can be built at a reasonable prize nobody would buy them ´cause everyone of the possible customers (esp. the people HERE = early adopters = tech freaks) will already have changed their devices 2-3 times to devices with mSDXC-standards (such as HTC HD3, HD4, HD5 .......... )
Don´t BELIEVE and HOPE, just KNOW and be REALISTIC: there will be no 64GB mSD-card .............

I just wanted to look for a bigger card than the stock 16GB, even a 32GB would do, nothing particular about 64GB, nor is looking for higher capacity card any pressing need.
I am least bothered to think so much about manufacturing trouble before looking for a higher capacity card, I dont give a damn about manufacturing trouble if any.
I just searched higher capacity card than 16GB and checked at one which happened to be 64GB.
There is no need to involve big things like hope or belief in something so unimportant or cheap as a SD card.

SanDisk Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC 64GB
I installed the Tytung ICS build on a SanDisk Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC 64GB.
Works fine! Just needs to be farmatted in Fat32
Since the 32 GB is available to buy (for me over the internet only) I would like to know if there is anyone who has tested its compatibility with Xperia X2.
(I am aware that specifications state that max memory card is 16, same thing with P1i as at the time of release maximum available was four, was certified for four only but works with 8GB no problem with that)

The SDHC specs are about cards starting from 4 to 32 gigabyte, so if anything can read a 16 GB card can also read a 32 one.
Memory
- Phone memory 110MB*
- microSD™ / microSDHC™ (up to 16GB)
so no go for 32GB sd card

Te 32GB uSD weren't available when the manual of the X2 was printed, and its spec finalized.
So, as always happen, the manufacturer can't guarantee for a card that simply doesn't exist.
That said the sdhc specifications aren't jokes, so they must fulfilled by both the phone and the card producers.
So if the 32GB cards aren't workink on X2 it's just becouse a bug and not because the manual says 16GB.
Sorry but my question aimed at a simple hands-on experience.
I am aware that the specs say 16 GB max because 32 wasn't available at the time, but as I mentioned above that didn't bother my P1i working with a card twice the size in the specs.
I just wanted to know for sure, because a hundred euros for 32 GB is by no means an amount to see gone with the wind. By the time I will choose another phone that is certified for 32 the price for that memory will probably decrease by half.
In other words:
Has anyone put a 32 GB card into X2 and saw it working?
Thank you, mates.

sorry to borrow ur post but does any1 know where could i buy class 10 sd card

will the htc see a 64 gig micro sd card ?
32GB is the largest Microsdhc card that is *technically* possible. That's the end of the Microsdhc development. To get higher capacities you need to go to SDXC ... see ... http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdxc ...
No way will HTC upgrade "existing" phones to allow you to use the nes format. It'll be new phone time.

NO! That is a press article from 2008! And it's complete bull, though the author may well have believed it at the time. A microsdhc card CANNOT be more than 32GB. See ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroSD ...
"... microSD cards are currently available in capacities from 64 MB to 2 GB, while microSDHC cards are currently available in capacities from 256MB to 32 GB. This is the largest microSD card yet, and the limit of the microSDHC technology as well. microSD cards with larger capacities will be in microSDXC format.
[My emphasis].
As I said, existing phones will NOT be able to take the new cards (that is purely my opinion. Though why would a manufacturer make an existing phone work with new technology when a) the phone is obsolete anyway and b) he wants to sell you a new phone!).
As for 32GB being enough. Well I have about 6GB left on mine and I still have plans .......
