hi guys
my pro comes during next week and i wanted to check what size memory cards it'll take. If it supports Micro SD will it support Micro SD HC cards? What's the maximum size it'll support please?
thanks.
http://www.htc.com/europe/product.aspx?id=49936
see the photo number 6
so for £17 an 8GB SDHC card from play.com is my best option really? Any other suggestions?
That's even cheaper than Ebay!
I bought a 2GB Sandisk one from Play for my Artemis and it buggered my phone! Play were a bit arsey about replacing it, but did eventually after a load of emails and phone calls
8 gig rox!
I have 2 8 gigs that I switch back and forth...it was kind of funny to use my phone as an external hard drive via usb! The phone also has disk mode, faster communication to the sd card...
Its almost sick as we keep getting more and more memory! pretty soon we will get rid of moving part drives and everything will be memory!
I've bought an 8gb sandisk class 6 with p&p for around £27 off ebay.
Don't forget that there isn't just size, but speed as well.
As far as I know, the current 16gb cards are class 2, even though some places are stating 4. (I've not come across anybody that can prove they have a class 4) And sandisk isn't even showing details themselves yet.
16 gb microsd class 4 does not exist.
there is only class 2 for this size, the rest are fake!
class 2 should be enough for regular user though...but then again, who on this forum is a regular user? )
I have a Sandisk 16GB Class 2 card - works perfectly.
Does anyone know what Device Class the Touch Pro is?
There is no need for a class 4 card if the unit is a class 2...
Is there any good benchmarking programs for reading SDcards on WM6.1?
16gb, saying class 4 £46.95 http://www.memorybits.co.uk/shop/mi...23-in-1-multi-card-sdsdq016ge11mplus23in/9078
have ordered from them before no issues
No one is selling Class 4 currently, their information is incorrect - many others are similarly stating Class 4 but shipping Class 2. Class 4 is not yet available.

I use Pocket Mechanic on my Tytn II (still running WM6.0); it has a pretty good benchmark suite. I ran it on a SanDisk 16 GB Class 2 I picked up the other day and got write speeds of 1.3 MB/sec. The same test on a SanDisk 8GB Class 4 gives a write speed of 2.05 MB/sec. Those numbers suggest to me that the device is the main impediment to performance -- I should have seen at least 2MB/sec and 4MB/sec respectively (that's what Class 2 & Class 4 mean).
And that's a Tytn II but I'm very interested in what difference it makes in a Touch Pro..
my choice is between the:
Sandisk Mobile Ultra microSDHC 8GB (Think it's class 6) (€38,50)
and the
Sandsik microSDHC 8GB (Which is class 2) (€24,95)
And I really don't know which one to go for.. I somewhere found a Nokia N95-3 review which told that the difference was noticable between the 2 cards.. but I don't know if it's true for the TP..
Any help on this matter?
You guys really need to steer clear of Ebay for memory, to many fakes of rubbish quality, I have used both of these places before and they are excellent and reliable, I just bought a genuine Class 6 sandisk 8GB micro SD plus a keychain USB adapter for £26.50 delivered, from the first place
www.picstop.co.uk
www.7dayshop.co.uk
The pro is class 4 or better i tried wth c1 c2 and c4 cards c4 works the fastest almost 16mb transfer speed via the phone that is not bad.... a full os flash from c4 card take just 5 min nbh image size 154mb so talking about a heavy-weight os. but the same progress with my 4 gb c2 card take over 10min ???? funny
The SanDisk 8GB Mobile Ultra class 6 is superb!!
I've bought this Sandisk micro SDHC 8GB class 6 at 'The phone House' for about 40 euro. The class 4 device was 10 euro less expensive. Yes expensive but worth every cent. I've used several brands the past 6 years and I'll stick to SanDisk: reliable no issues at all and fast!
At this moment 16GB is available but only class 2. Don't buy them because you don't want a bottle neck in your overall system performance!!
Woot has 4gb MicroSD cards for $11 shipped. I just snagged two, but hurry the deal is only good for one day.
i actually emailed HTC about this and got the following email as a reply
Code:
Good Evening,
Thank you for your enquiry about the HTC Touch Pro.
The Touch Pro has been tested with a 16gb MicroSDHC card and it works fine, as for 32gb and 64gb I cannot be sure, as they have not been released yet. More information bout the compatibility of these cards will be available after they have been released and tested.
Please do not reply to this email as this email address is not monitored for replies.
Best regards,

Okay guys/gals I did some research and searching on the forums and internet and im getting mixed reviews on memory cards. I hearing good and bad things about Sandisk and good reviews on ebay memory cards... Can you guys post links and reviews of the memory card your using/bought? Im looking to get a 8gb-16gb card.. I leaning towards some ebay memory cards.. but not to sure.. thanks!

Don't buy Kingston, that's what I can tell you.
I've tried so far Sandisk (4gb), Transcend(8GB), Kingston(8GB) and TopRAM(2GB).
By experience, I found that Kingston is the worst for multiple file transferring. TopRAM is the cheapest (but after 1 year, part of the memory will have problem, but they do have lifetime warranty).Sandisk is the best. However, for quality and price wise, I recommend this one: Transcend 8GB Class 6
I'm planning myself to get the 16Gb from Sandisk. I was about going to get it on Christmas, but then after reading the forum, so many people are getting problem with it after a while. And the worst thing is most of them got it from eBay, so returning is a *****... That's why my guess is the card is not that stable yet and the true is I don't need 16Gb for the moment. I've only gone as far as 6GB up to now.
The Transcend 8GB Class 6 will give you a very decent speed not less than 6MB/s transfer (but you need to have the right USB adapter - I got lucky, I bought 4 from eBay, and 1 of them turned out to be super good so I sold the other 3). As for reviews links... google it, my friend.
I have the A data class 6 8 gig. I have no qualms with it as far as quality and speed are concerned. My only issue which is a big one, would have to be that I cannot flash anything from it. My bootloader will not recognize it even after I sd formatted it to fat 32. It is such a pain in the ass that im gonna buy the transcend right now in fact.
I've always used Sandisk with no problems. I bought Top Ram once and it failed on me within two weeks. I currently use an 8gb Sandisk and it's fine. I just ordered a 16gb from an ebay seller. Looks like a good deal http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=220333520716
Is there such a thing as 16GB Class 4? I can only find Class 2.
I'm using a 16GB Sandisk card. Works great.

Quick question guys, i have searched, is the TD2 compatiable with microSDHC?
Where did you search, a good place to start would be the specifications section, although does just say SD 2.0 compatible. A quick google on SD 2.0 would get you the answer though.
(Oh yeah, it is microSDHC compatible)
yes, the topaz is compatible with SDHC up to 16gb
Yeah, should do. microSD 2.0 is microSDHC. I've bought a sandisk 16gb card (class 4) for my phone. Still hasn't arrived though, so can't confirm anything. But according to specs it should be a perfect match

Could you check if your card is really class 4 (maybe test it transferring large files on it using a fast adapter? Most card I have seen are class 2, and the one of the only class 4 was subsequently reported as class 2 in a (rightfully angry) user review.
Juts curious, I already have ordered a 16GB sandisk class 2, which seems (by far) the most common 16GB card available. No test yet (still waiting for my card AND my TD2 ;-) ), but others have reported the combination to work and the class 2 speed more than enough for the phone, only the transfer from PC to card may suffer. The other potential area where write speed is important is video recording and photos in rapid succession....But I think VGA recording will not tax the card, and TD2 is not able to take shots in that fast a succession...

Hi,
I have a 16GB sandisk class 2 currently in my phone and it works fine. I have played a few divx/avi files off it fine. Haven't tested the video recording though.

thanks for the feedback buddy
sandisk ultra is class 6, the normal cards are class 2
i have to correct it:
the 1,2,4 and 8GB ultra cards are class 6, the 16GB is still a class 4
normal sdhc cards are 2
i have a class2 8GB card works flawlesly
I would hope it is. My Elfin is running with a 16GB micro SD. It would be toture if I got it and it didn't. %100 sure it does though.
i have Sandisk class2 16gb on my new Diamond2 and it works 100% fine
does not work
i have just bought a 16gb sandisk sdhc card and it will only show up as 4gb in my phone and laptop and i have also been told the phone does not support sdhc buy a memory card retailer

For the record... I have a Kingston 16GB SDHC. Works like a charm.
Me too... been running a Class 2 16mb Sandisk since day one and no problems.
Does anyone know if a class 6 (16G) will work in the Topaz?
I didn't see differences between class 2 and class 4.....
I'm using Kingston 8GB class 4
+1 for the Class 2 16mb Sandisk.

I've just changed from the Class 4 8mb Sandisk, and the difference in speed loading up the card with music/video is minimal. I think the TD2 itself is maybe limiting the speed more than the "Class" rating. There might be a bigger difference if using an external card reader to write to the card.

Class 2,4,6 should all work. I would think the brand is more critical than the Class, which only gives some indication of max writing (not reading) speed.
After trying with 2 different brands of Class 6 16G SD cards with no luck whatsoever, I decided to go with a Class 2 and works flawlessly.
I didn't want to waste more time with a Class 4, for now, but maybe I will test it in a little while.
HTC HD2 - what size of MicroSd it can supports?
It supports the SDHC standard, so up to 32GB. Anything above that will require the upcoming SDXC standard.

Hi, I just wanted to ask a question regarding microSDHC cards:
Does the class of the card make that much of a difference (in terms of smoothness of video playback) ?
I'm not too bothered about write spead.
The reason I ask, is because I can't really find anywhere (I don't use ebay) in the uk (online) that's selling reputable 16gb class 6 microSDHC cards (that are in stock). Will class 2 really be a step down ?

Class does matter in speeds. So I would say yes, but you won't notice it.
I got a 16GB Micro SD-C class 6 and a 4 gb class 3/4 and video playback on my Touch HD is the same....

Any real difference between Kingston and Sandisk at class 2 ?
timewyrm said:

No, absolutely no difference at all.
The only time the class will make a significant difference is if you take the card out of the phone and connect it to your PC's USB port using an adaptor. A high-speed card connected like that can be written to a lot faster than it can while it's in the phone. But otherwise you're limited to the speed the phone can access the card at - which is a lot slower.
It's also worth saying that a class 2 card made by one of the better manufacturers (Sandisk, for example) may well be faster than a generic class 4 or even class 6 card - class 2 means it's guaranteed that you can write to it at 2MB/s or faster, but the ratings of cards from good manufacturers tend to be very conservative.
As for video, the bit-rate of a video file is not that high. My Touch Pro 2 maxes out at about 750 kilobits per second on an .mp4. The read-speed of even the worst class 2 card will be at least 2 megabytes per second - which is more than 20 times as fast. The Leo will probably be able to cope with higher bit-rates than the TP2, but certainly not 20 times as high.
That's just what I was hoping to hear
Thanks!
Anybody now when 32gb cards will be available
Just in case anyone else is searching for a 16gb card, I've managed to find a class 2 for £36.99 from memorycardzoo. On the other hand, Dabs are currently waiting for stock of some 16gb class 6 cards, which they'll be selling for arounf £50. Unfortunately, it looks like they won't be getting these in stock for at least 3 weeks

Don't HTC have an online store in UK? Here they have Transcend 16GB Class 6 cards in stock, although they usually charge more than anyone else for what they sell.
I personally prefer to have the fastest cards available simply because it pays off when you transfrer large amounts of data (music, video) via a card reader. Also, my older cards go to my digital camera where it is important.

It's not 50€, it's £50...
Anyway, I have ordered (and received) my Sandisk MicroSDHC 16Gb from Amazon Germany for 40€ (postage included).
Looking forward to finally turning my phone into my day-to-day mp3 player, as well as running debian and apps2sd, I've been reading all the latest threads about sd cards and finally decided the most optimal config is a 16gb class 4.
Reasons:
· Class 6 is unnecessary as the nexus wont really take advantage of it.
· Class 2 may be kind of slow for apps2sd and debian, which I'm looking forward to investigate on.
· 16gb because although 32gb is comming, it will probably be too expensive for me.
Benchmarks:
I've looked through eBay and found a few interesting "offers", both at about $40:
SanDisk 16GB Class 2
TOPRAM 16GB Class 4
I really want a Class 4 for all I've been reading lately, but I can't afford a 16GB Class 4 SanDisk.
Does anyone know anything about "TOPRAM"? I had never heard about it before and I'm wondering if it could be a low-quality card.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
No one knows ANYTHING about TOPRAM?
I've seen ppl complaining on the internet about the device not recognizing the sd card, but i guess that happens sometimes..i think..o.o
I have always used A-Data cards, been happy with them.
here are some speed test people have done http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/SDCardSpeedTests
I use and trust PNY class 4 sd cards never failed a year in my rooted g1 and still going with apps2sd and so far with my nexus

With all the talk about SD card speeds I've been seeing lately, I was starting to regret buying the SanDisk 16gb class 2 and not getting a Class 6. But after looking at this chart, I can't imagine why I would need more speeds than that?

I have a 16GB Team Class 6 from ebay
I'm using a Polaroid 16gb class 2. Seems to be working fine for me, even running apps2sd.
I have an 8gb class 6 from RiData. seems fine to me, used on my MT3G, HD2 and now my N1.
i do agree with you though that a 16gb class 4 might just be the best cost/performance
Since we are talking about storage memory, I have a slightly unrelated question. Which is the better, microSD or internal storage that comes with some of the phones out there? In terms of speed, reliability, and cost, which one is better?
With regard to Class 6 - don't write it off if you plan to remove the card from the phone to do movie or music transfers. There are a lot of microSD adapters for computers that can exceed the performance of a Class 6 card and so if you are commonly hooking it up to a computer to transfer media then you'll be glad you went with a Class 6.
Now, if the capacity gets high enough to store all of my music, then I won't care about that issue, but personally I can only store a subset of my music on my microSD card so I do worry about the speed when attaching it to a computer...
i have that TOPRAM sd card on my nexus one i got from amazon Usa and it work very well
Class2 is definitely slower
I've used classes 2, 4 and 6 in an HTC Magic. I used apps2sd with Cyanogen Mod.
My own experience was that Class2 was definitely slower when using apps2sd. But Class4 and Class6 were better...and didn't appear to be much different. I had Class6 sdcards anyway as that is what was recommended for most of a year. They performed well.
The last ones I bought were Class 6 8GB Transcend MicroSDs for NZ$40 each (US$28-ish). That included 12.5% GST.
