**** I already bough tmine for 49 quid

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.

Sandisk HC 16 gig Micro SD:

Recently bought one off of eBay for $40 (+ $9 3-day USPS shipping) and it works as good as gold in my HTC Touch Pro. It was listed as "bulk" and did not come in the official Sandisk blister pack; therefore, this could possibly be gray-market hardware, but it works as listed none the less.
Perfect amount of space for my GPS software and my music/talk-radio.
I have had it for about 5 days now and have had zero compatibility or usage issues.
Cheers!

Haha, he said possibly... I'm pretty sure that MicroSD card you just bought was not manufactured by Sandisk. Good to hear that it's working okay though.

Ya, well I bought a 16GB MicroSD card and it has been working FLAWLESSLY...until tonight. I was re-installing a ROM and re-installing TT7...when the install hung...told me it couldn't install...then the card just died. Hopefully SanDisk will RMA it...

Well, most suggest that you remove the SD card prior to installation of a new ROM. I am using my card with Elite RC2 Rom, but have not tried leaving it in while installing a new ROM.
At this point, I have purchased 3 Sandisk Micro SD cards (2 4 gig HC's, and 1 8 gig HC) over the past 1.5-2 years off of eBay and haven't had a single one of them fail... none of them came in Sandisk blister packs.
Time will tell...

Im sure you could find one cheaper, but I am willing to bet is bootleg. Anyway the 55.00 ballpark is not that bad. Or you can wait till the 32gb releases. That will drop the price of the 16 big time.

Gotta link?????

So is the SanDisk 16GB Class 2 card good? Mainly the class 2 part. Will it be much slower than my current class 4 8GB card?

I just got my Sandisk 16gb card. It was Sandisk branded in a Sandisk blister pack. It works, but so far I'm having intermittent problems with my MP3 files pausing and starting again. Sometimes worse than others. It happens with Kinoma, Coreplayer, Windows Media Player and the Sprint Music player. Are there any ways of minimizing this?

It will not be much slower (could even be faster). Check this thread, where someone posted his c4 8GB card benchmark, which was lower than my numbers posted at the end.

Try reformatting, and apply this patch as well. I got a bulk package from ebay, and I haven't had a single problem so far (more than 2 weeks).

Thanks so much! It seems to be performing much better. I will have to test it more over the next few days........

I just ordered and received this one:

It seems quite fine

What is the largest capacity the HTC Touch Pro can handle? I thought it was only a 8GB?

Anyone sourced a 16GB microSD class 4 or 6?

Looking for a 16GB microSD for the Hero.
Anyone sourced a class 4 or 6? or indeed, have you used a class 2 and happy with it?
many thanks all

I have a class 2 16gb in my G1.
Apps2SD and Swap runs fine (Using JacHeroSki Hero rom).
I don't see what the class thing is all about, applications run as speedy as if they were installed on the device itself.

http://www.lowpricememory.co.uk/Sandisk-16gb-micro-sd-memory-card.html
Only used the 2GB card Orange bundle with the phone, and am experiencing a bit of sluggish perfromance on the home screen occasionally - someones said that this is solved by a faster card but will have to wait and see - got one on order.

That link you have posted says 'Class 2' in the write up but the picture is 'Class 4'.
I looked at that earlier and that discrepancy put me off ordering it.

Heres a class 6 16 GB....

Yes it would. WE HAVE A WINNER, 1 class 6 16gb.
These are still quite expensive though, I'd be tempted just to stick with an 8gb class 6 (which I got for £11 GBP) and when I run out of space, then move up to the 16gb

They will not ship to the UK (unless it's a copy of WoW you are after!)
But good effort!

yeah 16 GB too expensive for now for me, got an class 6 8GB card at £14 on order, as soon as the 16 GB cards are cheap enough I'll grab one, I can wait.

After much googling, I decided to get a class 2 from here:
http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/ph...ANDISK-MICROSD-16GB-CARD#handsetDetailsHeader
It seemed the transfer rate was not that key on our devices, as class 6 was well above what the phone could manage.
It could all be nonsense and I end up getting another in a few weeks

Ordered my Focus!!! - Micro SDHC Question

I ordered the Samsung Focus with Amazon Wireless for one penny and a two year contract with AT&T! Couldn't be any happier with that.
Anyway, I ordered a case:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00495YF8A/ref=oss_product
And a screen protector (I know it's tough to scratch but eh, why not. Lol)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003F8C1GK/ref=oss_product
So I've been thinking about how much memory is on the phone. 8GB is nice but I will want to put a few of my 720P movies onto the Focus. I figured I could get 8B Micro SDHC (Class 10) and it would make it, 16GB. That's pretty decent, right? I think it will hold me over... Lol.
I did some research and I get the higher the class, the higher the write speeds. Right?
Well, what do ya'll think of this one?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220493
Thanks in advance everyone!!!

8gb is good enough for me....for now! Ill be buying a 16gb card soon enough tho because everytime you change the sd card you have to do a full reset on your phone, so id rather just do it now and get it all over with. So, what im trying to tell you is just get yourself a 16gb card if you going to be adding 720p movies...that way you wont really need to worry about changing the card later. As for the class...class 10 is unnecessary....class 2 has been proven to be VERY sufficient in the focus...even class 4. I had a class 6 and now I have a class 2 and there is NO difference in performance on my focus. Anyways, as for sd cards, be careful because some aren't working properly....I would say your safest bet is buying Sandisk...since thats what Samsung is using in the focus for memory right now.
Hope this helps!

Well, if I put a 720P movie on there, I'll just delete it once I'm finished watching it. Not going to have more than a few gigs of music too. So 8GB is good for me. Obviously once you put a movie on there you can delete it and get your memory back, correct? Sounds nooby but just double checkin... Lol. The higher the class the faster it gets on the card, right?

i got a sandisk 16g class 4 from radio shack cost about $34, had it in since two weeks before christmas.... loaded it almost full, empted most of it out loaded and unloaded stuff, havn't had any problems so far....... been running strong and just as fast as without the card...

correct...once you delete things you get your space back. I didn't notice much difference in transfer speed between my class 6 and class 2. So if you can, just save yourself the money and get class 4. There was an article I read somewhere that a higher class can actually make performance worse on the phone. Don't know how true it is, but class 2 has been perfect for me. No difference anywhere.

You need too spend some time reading this thread before buying a microsd card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834144&page=3
Determining whether an SD card is Windows Phone 7 compliant is not a simple matter of judging its speed class. Several other factors, such as the number of random read/write operations per second, play a role in determining how well an SD card performs with Windows Phone 7 devices.

A higher speed class can actually work against you because sometimes the maker sacrifices random operations for speed.
You can either wait for official "windows phone 7 certified" cards or take your chances. Read the first post carefully, especially the most recent posts. I personally have been using a 16gb Samsung card with no problems. Caveat emptor.

Sweet, thanks for the info.

Patriot Signature 16GB Micro SDHC Class 4 Flash Card Model PSF16GMCSDHC43P
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220524
If you read the feedback, nothing but positive reviews.
"Pros: Very good price to performance ratio. Works with the Samsung Focus. Good read write speeds.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Not sure why some say negatives about the speed of the card. Maybe they got a bad one, but this tested out at just under 4.5gb write speeds. I had been using a Sandisk class 2 card with my Samsung Focus, but it would do some random rebooting and crashing. With this card it has been absoulutly perfect for over a week of use. I have 15gb of music and photos on the phone so I know that I am using the memory card along with the 8gb that is onboard with the phone."
Kinda sold on this... Should I do it?!?!?!?! Buy it right now?!?!! lol

This is pretty much what I was asking in another thread. I want to go with a 32GB card as I don't want to go through hard reset if I ever need more memory later on.
What is a good 32GB tmicroSD card hat works with Focus with no issues? I would like name of manufacturer, class and even the part# so I can source locally (go to store or order online).
Thanks.

No lie, you're going to spend a lot of $ and 32GB is overkill.

After reading the large thread on compatible cards above, it seems the real test is if you've loaded over 8GB of data onto the SDHC card (or over 16GB total in your case) and don't experience any problems. If that's the case then that's awesome (and it also sadly verifies the fact that no one knows which brand of card really works than the Sandisk 8GB Class 2, which is mentioned in the official instruction manual).
To the OP, I've stuck with the 8GB Sandisk. I considered the OEM version for $12 USD available on Amazon but decided against it, and went with the retail packaged version, which I got at Radio Shack for $20 USD. 14 or so GB will be good enough until the official certified ones are announced.

well ill just refer to him as mr arse... but mr arse is partially correct.... mine was stable up to 15gb then after that it went downhill fast.... so give the dude a bit of a break....

Has anyone seen any OFFICIAL announcement that there will be APPROVED cards for WP7. I know that Sandisk tried to pull a fast one and say their's were approved but then pulled them. Is MS even allowing such a program?
