Not 100% but I think its 16 gig. Use the search function, chances are you'll come up with something.
16 gb available, 32 gb announced. That's at least what I saw... It's possible there are 32 gb already available, but not sure what Class (speed).
ye that 32 confused me.
I am new with those cards cause never had such tec before.
Had my HTC Touch HD 1 week now and would be nice to have a big card also
I found that there are classes of those cards(like calss 1 and 2) i figure calss 1 is better?
WHen i am buying the card where can i see the speed of the card(example when i want order those from ebay).
As i undersstand only 1 card can be in phone at the time.(sim+memory)
like here:
http://hothardware.com/cs/forums/t/41971.aspx
there at card you can see class biger number better? or smaler number better?(PS!Im not sure that card on the link is working with HTC Touch HD).
Sry my laguage skils (typing with errors)not my mother tongue.

this post says 32GB see link. http://www.elite-electronix.com/htc-touch-hd-unlocked

I'd love a 32gb card but no idea where to get one (or if I could afford it!!)

Class X means speed. Actually class 6 is the fastest one for those SD or mini SD cards.
16gb micro sdhc is the largest that is availiable at this time, in speeds up to class 6
32gb will work, but you cannot yet buy them anywhere (please correct me if im wrong )

ok, so they are both non micro sd.. doh
The upper-end of the microSDHC category has been reached! Samsung has announced that they’re working on 32 GB memory cards, which will be good news to media hogs who have long capped out 16 GB cards on their mobile phones. This is the first microSD card to hit 32 GB, and is the last denomination before moving to the microSDXC format, which will handle 32 GB – 2 TB. I talked with the SD association at CES this year, and it seems unlikely that we’ll have any micro cards breaking into 32 GB in the next six months (maybe something late next year, if I had to guess). That should at least give manufacturers some time to update their hardware to support XC. Samsung also announced that they’ll have a new 64 GB designation of their moviNAND memory, clocking in at 30-nm and 0.7mm high. The first 32 GB cards will be commercially available after mass production kicks in around February 2010.
More info on SDXC cards along with a time chart, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5309401
Class 6 means minimum 6mb/sec for memory write.
It doesn't mean that class 4 can't be faster than class 6 .... but with time flash memory gets slower . It's better to have "insurance" for bigger minimum
i am quite sure i read somewhere that the hd was able to support (theorically ofc) upto 64gb memory card. am i wrong ?

Hi All
Just ordered my new o2 orbit 2. Upgrading from my orbit 1.
I'm assuming it's still a tiny micro-SD card. Does anyone know what the largest capacity card that is supported by the orbit 2 ?
Jeff
how about something like ?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-Micro-SDHC-Adaptor-Reader/dp/B000VUPUOU/ref=pd_sbs_ce_title_3
Theoretically the HTC Polaris can support MicroSD up to 2GB and MicroSDHC up to 32 GB cards. Anyway in this moment the maximun capacity I've seen is MicroSDHC 8 GB cards (I've a 8 GB Sandisk and it works perfect), so don't worry...

Guess what you get if you search for 'memory card size' on the polaris forums ( advanced search ) ?
Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms
It doesn't even pick up my new post.
I did search before I posted, always do. Sorry if you find it dull that i've posted a question that I could not find an answer to but that's what I thought these forums where for...
The 6GB card you linked to will be fine, and importantly it is supplied with an SDHC capable reader for the USB slot on the PC.
The Orbit 2/ Polaris can go up to a capacity of 32GB (if you can find cards this large at the moment they would be very costly) - 8GB are certainly available and I have seen 16GB is about to be released (might already be available, at a price) - Mike
MicroSD SDHC drawbacks?
Considering operation specifically for the Touch Cruise, are there any reasons to forgo (to do without) the additional capacity of the SDHC to gain greater than class 4 or 6 speeds (ie: sandisk ultra II microsd with read/write speads of 10/9 m/s)? Would these greater speeds help significantly with video playback or rendering pictures, or would one advise that the difference is negligible and definitely not worth giving up the excess storage potential?
I bought an 8GB Sandisk microSDHC class 4 (with microreader included) for 52 euros. Installed Tomtom Maps of Western Europe on the card and several movies (created with CloneDVD Mobile). Tomtom 6.032 as well as the movies played with Coreplayer 1.1.3 are running smooth. Hence class 4 should be fast enough.
Thanks
Appreciate the comment. I'll have to check out that clonedvd mobile software.
i bought an 8gb sandisk one on ebay for 45$. i was dissapointed though that the built in "all in one" card reader on my crappy ass dell xps m1210 laptop can't read sdhc. still a good purchase though, filled up to 6 gb so far with music and gps maps, etc. i do not notice any performance issues with sdhc.

The fastest speed of Sandisk MicroSd SDHC is class 4, wonder where you did find Ultra II?
Applications like Tomtom will run better (smoother) using a faster MicroSD card, the fastest speed I could find so far is Class 4. As soon as there is a faster card available I will go for it, as long as it is at least 8GB.
I've seen 12GB ones for sale. Would say TC can't use more than class 2, f/s video doesn't use that much!
There's plenty threads about problems recognizing 8GB cards tho, that suddenly it ;becomes; 2GB?

What do you mean with TC can't use more than class 2
The faster the accesstime to the MicroSd card the better the overall performance. If class 6 becomes available I will go for it
I am using a Sandisk 8GB SDHC cards which is a class 4 and it works fine.

I use the same card and I am happy with it, however, an application like Tomtom is depending on a lot of data transfer between the card and the application. I contacted Tomtom to figure out how to get a smooth working screen and the answer was, processor speed and data transfer speed of the card. In my previous equipment, a Mio A201 PDA, I replaced the 60X SD card with a 150X SD card and Tomtom run much smoother.

I never heard about those manufacturers before so I'm interested in the quality.
Micro SDHC Card.
Hi !
I have been testing a lot of different cards, and my recommendation is this
Transcend Micro SDHC 16 GB Class 6
And it has lifetime Warranty!
With kindly regards MacRoy
MacRoy, thanks for your post
I know tha Transcend and San disk are the leaders in this field but i'm interested in the above mentioned cards because they are the cheapest i could find on e-bay.
I would like to know if anyone has actually used them so they can tell me what is their quality?

Just purchased this one myself, waiting for it to be delivered. An 8 GB Class 6 Transcend card came with the purchase of my HD and it's been the best card I've owned so it was an easy choice for me. I wouldn't go cheap on something like this personally, you get what you pay for.
I bought the 16gb class 6 earlier today because my 16gb class 2 is starting to give me and my computer MAJOR problems. Up until now, the card has worked like a dream. I can't wait to see how much faster the class 6 will be like
i bought this card a few days ago
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250561131115&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
waiting it to come...
i'm hoping it's gonna be delivered in a 2 weeks period so i'll give my opinion then on the card speed
the card has arrived....
by putting it in my PC the higgest speed I got was 5,2 Mb per second
I would like to make some more test so if anyone can give me some tool for testing the actual speed of the card I will report back with the results...

hello,
I bought the "Transcend Micro SDHC 16 GB Class 6" and since I can't flash any ROM, I formatted the card several times (FAT32) but to no avail,
you see the same thing?
Also this card is not compatible if you want to switch on Android.

my card is not transcend but I didn't formatted it when i got it... i just made a restore to defaults and once again installed all of my programs on it.. did you try that?
maybe you should format it with NTFS instead of FAT32?
but i don't understand why you said that you can't flash any ROM? did you try doing that already?
Looks good. Did you try copying 16GB worth of data onto it ? Some of these cards could be fakes and have lower capacity than stated.

by now i have 13,1 GB of data on the card... still haven't filled it to the end
in the SD properties on the phone it says 15185.50 MB of storage availabe... i suppose that that is 16 GB...
I know youre all speed freaks - and youre talking about the class 6 cards...
But i just ordered this one (16GB, Class2, ~22$) (urgh - china product... - i never trust those *g* - but the price is just half of all i've seen before)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270528336681
as the 8GB delivered with the HD also just was Class 2 i thought thats enough for me...
And it's just a third of the price for the class 6 cards youre talking about.
Actual my question is - what do we need class 6 for?
Don't missunderstand me - I don't want to flame anyone for buying class 6 - but in my case about 7 of 8 GB are static on the card (means i transfered it once to the card and it never changes - Music) and 1 GB is dynamic (new Progs and new Music,...) but even this doesn't change every day all at once but about 20mb every day (max).
So with class 6 we save some time on the first copy progress - agree.
And every day about 10 seconds.
I know the example above is just for me but I think it would fit for most of u *g*
So why all people are so keen on this class 6 ? (i ofter read about in this forum not just in HD section)
btw. the tested speeds of those cards - most are tested in external readers are they? Does our HD even reach them in USB mode? or even worse - in ActiveSync mode? Cause i don't take my card out every day to copy some files...
greetings
Edit: k some people might watch videos on their HD every day which could take a while to sync - but USB and ActiveSync quests are still out...
forgot the video thing - cause i just once watched a video on my HD half -> battery life is not made for in my opinion

it all depends on what do you need it for...
for me class 6 saves me a lot of time because i download approximately 10-20 GB of music a month, and somwhere about 20 GB of movies and tv shows...
so basically i transfer somewhere around 1-4 GB a day from my PC to my card...
true, if you're doing that through the USB or ActiveSync you probably won't see the difference, but i often don't have the time to do that so I use the microSD adapter and transfer it a lot quicker to my sd card than it would be done through the USB or ActiveSync
on the end it all depends on what you're looking for and for what price...
Class 6
From what I see, don't bother with class 6 16G. I bought one. Testing the speed on sd card is great but once it put it on HD, it's no different than my Class 2 8G. Could have just purchase a Class 2 16G.

Hi,
I just got an email from ebay asking me not to finalize this order because of problem with the seller.
It seems that this is a scam.
Be careful.
Bemi
the question is not "what is the fastest class 4/6 card" in my eyes.
I bought the HD with the standart 8GB.....class "dont-know"...
of course I thought following:
higher class,bigger card = more expensive than slow and small...
so I tried to find out which card is included....
I found NO information about it. there is nothing to find on the HTC site.
no seriuos information to find on forums...
and nothing "written" on the card itselfe.
so I thought about buying the best and fastet card (testet with real test equipment).....
BUT
because the card-speed is degraded by the hardware you try to read/write....
and there is not a single information to find about what a HTC HD can handle....
(I asked the HTC support and did not get an answer at all)...
I decided to DONT buy another card at all....
I see no advantage to buy the fastes card it the cellphone is not able to use it.
SO : Is there anyone here, how can say that it is worth to buy a class6 card e.g. ??
if : where do you got the information a HD can handle the speed at all ?
thanks

Has anyone seen this? http://tinyurl.com/ybz2qfd
man that's crazy, although the 64's won't work with g1, I think its expandable capacity is only 32gb, but that's still big! Not sure of the class #'s on these bad boys, but I'm sure if there aren't any 6 or 10 class versions available yet it won't be long!
EDIT: nevermind, they're all 32's.....the 64gb has something to do with flash or whatever, IDK
32gb is the addressable limit of the SDHC standard.. when 64gb cards appear they will be SDXC, which means no current hardware can use them. Awesome.

As I'm a newbie, I can't post external links.... but apparently CAN post links where "http" have been changed to "hxxp". I spotted this link earlier today, from Morgan Computers - a BIG hardware-clearance company in New Oxford Street, London. £51 for a 32Gig SDHC card.
" The 32GB SDHC memory card is German made, leading edge technology at its best! It also comes with a lifetime manufacturer warranty.
The 32GB SD Card offers high storage capacity with a write speed of 10MBytes/s and a read speed of 20MBytes/s. It is ideal for new generation digital camera and other applications with SDHC cards slots.
Compatible with All SDHC devices
32GB stores approx 1200 x 10MP Photos, 545 Hours of MP3
May be in Eco Friendly Bulk Packaging
*Please Note: SDHC cards will only work in devices that are compatible with the Higher SDHC Specification cards"
I'm going to invest in one of these for my (new!) Desire - my two G-1's will have to continue to make-do with 8 Gig Sandisk TF cards.

I have two 32GB SDHC's, one is class 2, the other class 6.
The class 2 works but it's insanely slow and it consumes a lot of battery due to the extra hot time required for reads and writes.
The class 6 is extremely fast and doesn't cause noticeable battery drain.
So am I correct in assuming that the higher the class number, the faster the performance & lower the power usage?

Meh. Until there's a PAE firmware released for the device. Like how a 32bit OS can only handle 4GB RAM until you enable PAE. (In windows, you can simply "turn it on", in linux you need a kernel with a PAE module enabled)
PAE, or Physical Address Extension, should allow for a 52 bit limit on physical memory but only supports a 48-bit virtual address space. 4 × 10245 bytes, or 4 Petabytes and 256 × 10244 bytes or 256 Terabytes, respectively. (What that means is, if the hardware doesn't support 52 bit addresses natively, then they highest capacity that can be reached via PAE is 256 Terabytes through virtualization.)
What does that mean for an android device? A PAE Kernel Module could be created to allow for addressing of more than 32 Gigabytes, how far past 32 Gigabytes? That I don't know. I would assume at least somewhere in the realm of 128-256 Gigabytes. I doubt there will ever be a MicroSD card at that capacity though. By the time we see affordable solid-state storage as small as MicroSD with a capacity over 64 Gigabytes it is unlikely that MicroSD will even still be around, and I doubt anyone will still be using the G1 anyway at that point. We're talking another 4 years or so, making the G1 an antique by technology standards.
tl;dr version: Once 64GB cards are affordable enough for it to be practical to put the time and effort into a firmware mod (kernel module,etc) for an android version of something resembling PAE, you can expect -someone- will figure out a way to enable 64GB usage in the G1.
I think we're gonna see faces like this: all the time, when it comes to electronics industry... I can still remember my first Intel 486 with a few MB HDD!
Man one of these would be nice!
For me 6gb is enough..
For music etc i have a mp3 player!
Here we are 2 years later, 256gb micro sd cards are just starting to appear on evilbay.
Also USB thumbdrives that can handle up to 512gb cards

Why did you need so much space???
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Does it support Sandisk Ultra II, or SDHC and is that faster than class 6?
edit: is this okay?
http://www.play.com/Electronics/Ele...com-8GB-SDHC-Class-6-Memory-Card/Product.html
SDHC refers to an extension to the basic SD specification, allowing higher capacities. Hero supports SDHC upto at least 32GB, going on what I've read. I have an 8GB class 6 card.
Ultra xxx this & that is marketing bull with no standardised meaning in respect of performance. From what I can find via google, the Sandisk Ultra II is either class 2 or 4 (or possibly either depending on exactly which card you have).
The class system is a standardised classification of read/write speeds. Always check a card's class.
Is that card (Sandisk) ok? Depends what you want it for. If you intend to install apps to your card via, say, A2SD, I'd say no. Always get a class 6 for this, but it's a matter of personal choice. The standard doesn't imply this but collective empirical evidence also suggests higher class cards tend to be more reliable.
As to the linked card on play.com, it looks ok. Even the reviews seem reasonable, as long as you aren't inflicted with a broken lock tab a few earlier customers report.
TBH as long as you stick with 8GB class 6, as of the current date, you're at the sweet point for capacity-&-performance : price ratio. I bought one recently - think it was Transcend & about the same price.
OK, I think I'll buy that then. The only reason I want it is because at the moment videos always lag on my 2GB class 2 that came with it.
Thanks.
Micro SDHC
HTC Hero supports Micro SD HC and not the standard SD card. So check that before you buy. Im using Transcend 8GB Micro SDHC Class 6 Ultra. Works like breeze.. Also check 16 GB ones coz the price must hv come down.
Oh, so sorry - I didn't notice the card he linked to was not a Micro SD
Hell, that's the second time I've done that - I actually ordered the wrong size on one occasion. I hope this doesn't cost the OP. Even if ordered, they should take a return within 7 days, by law (in the UK, at any rate).
[Edit:] This is an ok deal.
As long as the micro as is class 4 or better then you should be ok with what ever you buy but give eBay a miss a lot of faked memory card and memory stick sizes comming from places like China and the like

Samsung 8GB Micro SD Memory Card - £13.49
Its only a class 4, but speeds in the comments are ok:
Speed (read) 15MB/sec
Speed (write) 6 ~ 7MB/sec
And doesn't this sound interesting,... "Features:- Waterproof - Innovative epoxy moulding compound tech helps over 24 hours in sea water- Shock proof - Survives high pressure, including the crush of a 1.6ton automobile- Magnet-proof - Resists over 13 times the magnetic force of home theater speakers- Elegant Package- Content Protection- Faster Performance"
The 2nd one is what CAULI had found, only slightly cheaper,...
Transcend 8 GB Class 6 microSDHC Flash Memory Card with adapter - £13.99
One customer states "I was getting write speeds of over 6MB I think the fastest was something like 6.70MB per second!"
BUT
Another says "Write speed with this card is the slowest of the lot, barely creeping above 5.3MB/sec"
Hmmmmm,....
Any more advice anyone?
I recently purchased the Samsung 8GB Micro SD class 6 Memory Card from play.com for use in my Hero and it works great with Apps2SD
Thanks for the tips everyone
There's always ebay... I got my 8gb on there for £6 inc. p+p, you can never beat an ebay deal...
Hi
I bought a 4gig MicroSD and would like to know the steps to update the SD please
Update?
All you need to do is take off the back, pull out the old card, and plug in the new one.
If you want to keep the contents of the old card, just drag the contents to your PC first, then swap the card, and copy the contents back.
update = install a bigger one
tx
take the old out
put the new in =D
thats all you need to do
Now that the mini has been updated to 2.1, are 32 Gig cards supported?
Some initial information was added to http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Xperia_X10_Mini_MicroSD_Cards
You should turn off the phone OR unmount the SDCard before remove it.
TX .. I thought there was some wierd partitioning and formatting and so.
tx to all the help

i hope not because i just bought 16gb class 4 from ebay for £14 ( around $28 )
Ill have to give this to my girlfriend if it does coz i need the biggest possible
Seems like you will have to go shopping again. At least for the X10 the 16Gig limit is replaced with a 32Gig limit. At least if I can believe this page:
h t t p : //gadgets.apnafundaz.com/20 10/09/xperia-x10-whi tepaper-revision-6-for-andr oid-2-1-eclair-no-16m-color-adobe-flash-mu lti-touch-and-more/
Though the link is a bit old. So I was hoping that maybe somebody here had already tried this. As I would rather spend my money on a 32 Gig card then buy a 16 Gig card and hear that I could have got double that.. ;-)
Didn't you guys get the fancy card reader with your E10s/U20s?
I bought my E10i on the launching day and in the box was that USB MicroSD-card reader.
Using it is easy to put your contents of your old MicroSD to a folder on your computer. Either temporary (to move it to the new mSD) or as back-up.
Don't remember it's SE name (have mislayed it as I used the reader and 2GB card that came with X10Mini, for installing Ubuntu on a EeePC 701)
Well.. I didn't get a micro SD reader with my kit in Germany..(I had a couple laying around which I was using but they have both died.. I don't know how a reader seems to just keel over and die.. seems something strange happened on an eject in Linux and now they are dead... tried all sorts of things to resurect them. (Linux detects them.. windows too but the reader doesn't detect any micro SD cards I throw at it.... oh well.
on a brighter note.. I just found an A-Data 16GB Class 10 card for under 30 Euro's its at Jacob Elektronics (there is another 7Euro for sending but still a cheap Class 10 card (if it's a real A-Data Class 10 card, my experience of the A-Data brand has been pretty good.. its a reputable brand and the website/shop seems legit.)
I am convinced it will not be any faster than a class 2 card for general use but the transfers between phone and PC will be super quick and for the price.. why not go for the fastest available?
I will let you all know how it turns out.. if it arrives.

I think the A-Data cards will be fine.
Got a full size A-Data SDHC in my camera 8GB class 6.
just a simple swap with phone switched off.
When I upgraded my contract phone to the mini pro, it was bundled with a 2gb card. I told the operator I'd seen a similar deal on a different network only they were shipping with an 8gb card, not a 2gb.
For my cheek, my phone arrived with an 8gb free of charge
You don't ask, you don't get
and also a spare sd card reader too! (now I have 5 )
Well after waiting over a week for the damn Adata 16GB Class 10 card to turn up I finally got hold of the company who said.. " it may be another 3 weeks because of a supply issue" funny as they said they were in stock when I ordered it.
anyway.. I canceled my order (as I am moving back to New Zealand in 2 weeks) and just bought a Sandisk 16GB Class 4 from Conrad electronics for 36 Euro.. meh.. at least its Sandisk so I trust it not to die after a few weeks use..

32GB microSD cards work fine in the mini - I have a transcend class 2 in mine.

Good news. Earlier there was some thread in this forum stating that 32 GB doesn't work in Mini - probably while it was on Android 1.6. How is the access speed ? Is it satisfactory?

I've looked around for 32Gb card, and the only I found where class 2. I'm sure that cards of higher class will be become available, but at the moment I know of none.
im using 16gb class 2.. all apps on there.. working good to me
