I am going to buy a 2G MicroSD, but I have read quite lots people saying that Sandisk and Kingston 2G are a bit thicker than 1G and they will be stuck in the card slot when u insert them.
But on the other hand, lots of people also saying that they are using Sandisk and Kingston 2G MicroSD without any problem.
That really make me very confused.
In my living area, what I could buy 2G MicroSD are Kingston (Made in Japan/Taiwan and China) , Sandisk (Made in China) , Toshiba (Made in Japan) and Transcend (Made in Taiwan)
Has anyone tried any of them before? Could u tell me how's the performance on X01HT?
Thanks a lot!
Hey man,
i'm currently using a sandisk 2.0gb microsd without any problem what-so-ever. I was under the impression that all microsd cards are of the same form factor and all are the same size. Maybe there is a label of some sort on some of them which makes them thick enough to get caught? My Sandisk does not have a label, just white print on the top of the card.

Thanks mate,
I might go for Sandisk or Kingston, but actually the price go up lately (so I need to wait...) and also some people said sandisk is a bit slower than other brand (except Ultra/II/Extreme Series). Do u think so?
Appreciated!
and,
for anyone who is looking for the best bang-for-buck, a 2gb PNY microsd from tigerdirect.com is only $32.
I used a 2gb PNY full-size SD in my treo for over 2 years, and never once had a problem.

Does anyone tryed Sandisk 8Gb?
I originally ordered the 4gb stick for about $70 when i first got my phone because i heard it would work. search around the herald forums someone probably answered this already. sorry i can't be any more help.
If it is SDHC it will work up to 32 GB because the Herald supports SDHC-Cards
(tried it myself)

That one wouldn't work because it is a full size Sd card.
Hey everyone, I'm new here but I thought I could help out. I bought a 8GB microsd card from a-data through newegg for about $56 with shipping, and it works fine in my new t-mobile wing which is pretty much bone stock at the moment.
I have a SanDisk 8GB card and everything works great

8gb micro sd hc
I bought a SanDisk 8gb Micro SDHC and wouldn't register on my WING. I quick formatted several times but didn't hit me to do a full on FAT32 format. Once I did that, the 8gb was registered. Much thanks to the forum!
AMAZON
I saw some 8gb on Amazon a couple nights ago for about 6 bucks
Try ebay, just bought two for each of my phones for 40+(total for 2) with sd adapter and card reader, many different sellers on ebay, i just try to stay away from china sellers because of the shipping times.
是的，完全没有问题，因为我目前用的就是8gb的，花了145地钱呢！
ive had the 8gb from sandisk for 2 months now. it worked fine until now. my wing reads is very slowly now and my cpu does not even recognize it. i even got another card reader, it took me 3 hours to backup everything off the card through my phone via usb. im now back to the 4gb... i need my 8gb back so badly...
what about 16 or even 32gb ? is it worth to use one of these sizes???
I had a 16GB in my S621, just brought home my new P4351 (Herald) and it works perfectly.
yes, 8GB (cheap) microsdhc is working (at least on my herald)

Can you point a good online store with a good price???
Thanks

unfortunatly I don't find a micro sd 16GB from sandisk available...
does anybody know where to get such a card?
I've seen several offers on ebay.com, but they were deleted.
Some guys in our german HD forum ordered Kingston 32GB microSD, but they were faked and didn't work - not recognized by Touch HD and formatting via PC only possible up to 2GB.
They paid a lot of money and want to get it back.
A second auction for a SanDisk 32GB card was a joke of some children which used their parent's account for having some amusement.
In the moment, is there any SERIOUS dealer who sells a 32GB microSD or must we wait further on?
There is a problem with 32 go (it heat a lot) so we can't find a 32 go yet.
updating my request:
I've seen several 32GB cards on ebay.com.
Any further information where to get one brandnew by a dealer??
Thx, Wolle

you've seen 32GB SDHC cards, not microsd cards... I've been searching for the 32gb micro's for a while now
Although my 16gb had like 6gb left on it... so I would have 23gb of free space with the 32gb... hmm

I don't think so...
here is an auction for a 32GB MICRO SDHC!!! I'm searching for it for half a year now und still didn't find one in Germany!
http://cgi.ebay.com/32GB-Micro-sd-S...C_Drives_Storage_Internal?hash=item3efac7fa3e
But take a look on the price! People who want/need such a card are crazy to bid in such pricíng ranges!
1 auction out of the billions on ebay... and it was prob a leaked item from the manufacture... that doesn't make it readily available for us... PLUS the price would be THROUGH the roof!
not to say I didn't buy the 16gb when it first came out for $90 USD
Cheap SD cards on eBay are often fake, with fake capacities. I would avoid them at all costs.
Most major stockists (all that I have found) don't even list a 32GB MicroSDHC card. The biggest they list is a 16GB which is over 50 GBP, your going to be looking at well over three times that price for a 32GB one.

Would you spend over 150 USD with a seller who has 14 feedback, and only 2 of those for selling?
no, I wouldn't. Will wait until the 32GB are availble in Germany.
It was just an example, bought a 16GB Sandisk half a year ago from my pc dealer round the corner, it costs about 50 € which is app. 75 US $.
Would not pay more than 120 $ for such an item.
I felt terrible paying 90 USD for my 16GB class 2
I've called the (german) sandisk hotline earlier this day and they told me that there is officially no 32GB mciroSD card sandisk by sandisk..... and he couldn't tell me if they will be releasing it in any time or not..... oh happy day

I bought a new kingston 16 gb micro sd.
Now the card says it is not bigger than 961 MB.
I have format the card twice fat and fat32 but it is still 961 MB..
What do I wrong, or is the card wrecked?
Thnx
If that happened to me, I'd take it back where I got it for a replacement.

If you got it on ebay there is a 95% chance you bought a fake 16GB micro SD card. I stay away from memory cards offered on ebay. Its a very good chance that it actually is a 1GB card made to report that it has 16GB when it doesn't. If you did get it on ebay hopefully ebay or paypal will be able to help you get your money back.
FAKE MicroSD was made in Kingston factory
This is interesting read.
Buyer of Kingston MicroSD need to take notice.

Yeah, I just read about that today too, and remembered this thread...I'm guessing the problem is more widespread than just Kingston, and is the source of many of the SD card issues people are having...just like the one above (including the "ghost-source" cards found on e-bay).
Here's an article with a slightly shorter explaination of the same report in that link chompx2 posted above.
So can anyone suggest a good class 6 card? I don't want to get one that turns out to be a fraud. And as bad as that would be, it would be even worse if I got one that worked as advertised and then a couple months later dies and loses all of my data.
Any suggestions for a card that wil be reliable for the long term?
Try the A-DATA 16GB Micro SDHC Class 6. I just got mine from Newegg.com.
I swapped out my Sandisk 8GB Class 2. I noticed a big difference on speed. I got mine for $54.86 including tax. Shipping was free. Mine does not come with a SD adapter but I already have a couple of them. Newegg does have Micro SD cards with the adapters. Just search around. Hope this helps.

Was it from ebay? SD cards are one of the items that I've started just paying the small premium to get from a known-good vendor (i.e. newegg, etc), just because of how commonly they're counterfeited and find their way into "unofficial" sales channels like e-bay and so forth
In December 2009 I purchased 2x 16GB microSD cards from eBay China for my new HD2. They took 2 1/2 months to arrive and when I got them they both only showed as 1GB and the writing on the cards were flaking. I was so upset. I could have gotten an 8GB microSD locally for less than the price of one of those fake 16GB microSD cards. At the time I had the original HD2 2GB in my phone, so even the 2 fake cards were useless.
I tried the Paypal resolution process, and it did not work. I never got back the US$80 I spent. The seller has disappeared.
In 2008 I bought 16GB microSD cards from eBay UK when they first came out at US$110 each and those were real (one was lost in a car, the other sold several months ago), so this time I was looking for a deal. I lost big time on those fake cards.
I bit the bullet and bought a single 16GB microSD Class 6 (also from eBay but from Topram US) to hold out until the 32GB microSDs came out (and now until they get faster and the price gets cheaper).
Stick to 'reputable' sellers on eBay, do not make a purchase based only on the best price, or take the risk of not getting what you paid for.
Here is a good seller with a good deal
I bought a 16gb class6 card from this US seller a year ago. It has been a great card and I have had no problems whatsoever.
Here is a link to a Kodak (Lexar) 16gb Class 4 card for BIN $40.24 with free shipping.

I very recently bought a 32GB microSD on ebay from a HK seller grandtechdigital.
The card was a fake. It does have a capacity somewhere around 8-16GB, though. I only ended up paying $31 US for the card, and the seller gave me a refund since it was not 32GB.
The trick with Ebay is to make sure you file your dispute in time if you are getting jerked around. If you wait too long, then you have no recourse. I could be wrong, but I think you only have 60 days.
Good Luck!
Does anyone know how to fix the bad card I have? I know that it needs to be reprogrammed to show the actual capacity. Right now, it looses files when I try to copy too much data to it.
Found another even better deal!!
Check out this one!! 16GB Topram Class 6!!
