Hi,
I'l like to purchase either a 1GB or 2GB card for my TyTn. Some of the local stores only keep the 1GB Sandisk and no 2GB.
The question I have is the one store only has the standard Sandisk 1GB Micro SD Card and not the Sandisk Ultra II.
Is there really a big difference in performance and what would one recommend as a card and where to purchase from over the internet?
Thanks
Ari

FYI, I dont think there is a Sandisk Ultra II 2GB card available. And the Ultra II cards are supposed to be much faster (W/R, 9MB/10MB) compared to the regular cards.

microSD available many places
You will see the 2 GB Sandisk microSD available all over the place. eBay has them, as well as various vendors with internet purchasing.
Eventually, we'll see the "ultra" sandisk versions of the microSD. For now, I went for the 2 GB version available, because 1 GB is too limiting, especially if you use the TyTN for music.

Yeah, I've just see it when looking on google. Shame I only recently (well 4 months ago) bought a 2GB card. I can donate it to someone but I don't think I'll part with it yet.
I thought the Wizard required some sort of not yet available firmware upgrade before it could go beyond 2GB miniSD cards.
In fact, this link from SanDisk makes it sound as though our phones will never be able to use these cards:

Again Maybe this is a firmware limatation
Maybe...
Maybe it would work by splitting the 4Gb into two logical disk 2Gb each?
By the way I don't know what to load to 2Gb, I have about 1,3 Gb free space in my miniSD. I mean is it so needed the 4Gb card? Any suggestions?
4 GB Mini SD
Well storage space I can always use. My Tom Tom map of Western Europe already takes away 1Gb. Some movies converted to divx take about 600Mb the rest is used for backups and cab files of the programs I use on my device. So 4Gb of storage would be a very nice option. Doesn't matter if this has to be split in two partitions of 2Gb each. I would love it

As far as I can tell, there are no REAL 4GB MINI SD's. They all seem to be fake... 2GB SD made to look like 4GB... Buyer beware!

ive used www.mobymemory.com before im sure a fair few on here have.
4g miniSD that works
I have purchased a 4G miniSD from http://www.emartbuy.co.uk/index.php.
It works. There is a small problem with access time, i.e. it takes longer to write to and access the card than the 2G did, but apart from that there are no issues.
All I did was use a card reader and copy everything from the 2G card to the 4G card, put it in the device and away it went, like nothing had changed. Except now there is twice the storage. YAY. The card is brandless and is probably a reflashed card, but I don't care because it works for me.
Hey if any of you are doubting the 4gb mini sd at mobymemory I can confirm it certainly is 4gb card and definetly works in the wizard.
This isn't a reply to your asking if it works. The listed price here was $78 (USD) roughly if i'm not mistaken. I'm sorry, but i'm not paying $78. I already paid $55 for mine and am just awaiting it's arrival in the mail. Hopefully I'll get it soon so I can pop that sucker in and flash my firmware till i see it. I want 4gb because I love movies on the go, and I have some nice tools that do about 4mb/min of video, now that's 1000 minutes of video... or if you load 2 hour movies: roughly 7 movies. At 320x240 stereo mp4 44100khz. Now to just find a bloody adapter for being able to pick up phone calls with my own earbuds, and now to find good earbuds...
I got my 4gb in the mail today! It's completely unmarked which I thought was weird, and upon first popping it in, my MDA would NOT read it, however, after popping it in my computer and reformatting it into FAT32 again (it was FAT32 when i checked it with the computer), it works just fine. Reads out fully too! I got mine on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200065103874
$54.95 including shipping (which was 2 days by usps mail).
Transcend 4GB mini SDHC Flash Card does not work on 8125
I purchased one from Newegg.com. 8125 did not recogonize the card, neither my computer card reader.
Any thoughts?

Have you checked to see if you can Rightclick the "removable drive" the card is in on your computer and see if you have the option "Format"? I had to format my card before it was usable in my MDA and computer.

You may need to update the firmware on your card reader.
Guys
4GB miniSD cards are fake products. Real 4GB memory cards are SD-HC (SD 2.0) standard compatible, not SD 1.0 compatible in agree with the SD Standard Association. Look a real 4GB SD HC memory card of the pioneer on memory cards in this link and looks the SD HC logo:
http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Ite...sk_miniSDHC_Card_4GB_miniSD_HighCapacity.aspx
SDHC is not backward compatible with SD standard.
Beware of fake product, SanDisk is a reputable manufacturer and the pioneer on this type of memory cards.
Beware
Apparently I bourght a SDHC miniSD card.
Thanks for all the replay. Apparently I bought a SDHC card. It's not comparable with 8125. I have to RMA it, by paying 15% restock fee.
I hope other users won't make the same mistake.
jjss4433
i have seen them at www.unityelectronics.com for $80[USD].
they might be fakes but most people have to format the m and use them as 2-2gb cards.
i almost bought one but i'm going to buy a 2gb tomorrow for $20[USD] from www.newegg.com
&&edit&&
they have the 4gb mini sd on ebay for ~~$35-45 USD.
Does not seam like im the only one having problems with my card. I have posted a couple of times and was directly refering to att rom. I have since tried some new roms and my transcend 4 gb class 6 still does not work properly. Before I purchase a new one I would like to know what everyone else is using. I would like to get a 4 gb because that is in my price range.
Thanks,
Nicholas
Well, not using SDHC Card, just 2Gb SanDisk arround many WM6/6.1 ROMs, and it's works well
I have a sandisk 2GB and it works great no problems. The price gap between a 2gb and a 4gb cards has me salivating for more space.
I'm using an 8GB SDHC card (Class 4: around 7.5MB/sec) from SanDisk. You can easily find them these days for around € 30,-
I'm using SunDisk 8Gb sold at AT&T store. It has been working without fail so far. Previously I have used 2gb, 4Gb version and they works fine with everyday I play music during my commute and place temp file for the pocket explorer as well as exchange push-ed e-mail attachments.
Hi
I run Schap's 3.54b and use a class 2 SanDisk 4Gb SDHC (part no. SDSDQ-4096-E11M).
It works perfectly!!
Now i'm waiting a 8Gb bought here at great price:
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.13305
When i test it i'll let you know.
Bye
I've got my new 8Gb SanDisk uSHDC (code SDSDQ-8192-P60M) and it works well on my Hermes200.
sandisk 4GB, so many mp3s and TV shows =P.
I just bought an 8GB SanDisk Mobile Ultra (Class 8 microSDHC) from a local store here today. It's been working great so far.
I have Sandisk 8gb class4....
Question:
Will a San Disk 16gb class2 work in my phone?
Sandisk 4GB is about right for my hermes...
sandisk 4gb.
SanDisk 4GB class2
Not working, Hermes (Tytn)
ROM Schap's pro 4.31, not working
ROM WM_6.1_TouchFlo2D_UC_ WWE v3, not working
ROM MRH 9.0 Valerian | FINAL | UC | Build 20273 |, not working
Someone can help?
2GB Kingston
I got a killer deal on outpost.com (Fry's online store) today. $11.99 for a 2gb micro sd card "mobility kit", with usb adapter, and 2 added adapters (sd and mini sd). If you order online and then choose your local Fry's as the pickup you can get the online prices "in the store" right then and there without a delivery charge. Has a lifetime warranty and case for the spare adapters.
I'm running the old 5.0 O/S on my Hermes. It recognized it right away. No problems.

Update...........it does work
I have a 4GB class 6 card from Transcend. Price was around 11,- € and it works great. No problems till now and a reading speed of 14 MB/s and writing speed of 9 MB/s.
Wait... a second...
Does SDHC works with tytn (hermes100) att 8525?
But... are you using a patch for drivers or certificates?
I think it dont recognize HC?!!!!
Damn!!!
I'm using a SanDisk 4GB class2, and it works just fine.
I keep a lot of pdf manuals, excel and word files on it. Along with installing extra programs, and backing things up.

Damn is right, LOL.. I bought a Kingston 2GB SD card from micro center, they had 4GB on sale too, I saw on HTC site Hermes only supported 2GB..
So how big a card can I go? Does the ROM have anything to do with that? I'm using WM6.1Pro..
I think someone already replied in this thread saying they are running a 16gb card. I have a tiny 6gb now and will upgrade to a 16gb soon. Need more storage, TomTom 7 uses over a gig just for maps and install software.
I have bought a SD card for my HTC Hero from 2GB to 16GB. Previously i had 2GB sandisk memory card and now i bought a new one(Kingston 16GB micro sd card class 4). But when i insert my new 16GB card my Hero with VR12 lags once or twice a day. Is it because i have to get higher memory card class to save apps on it or something else.
P.S.
I dont know what kind of class is sandisk memory card.
I know that manual says up to 32 gig, but what's it really see? I have a 128 g card and am thinking about buying this phone.
Thanks in advance.
I just popped in a 64 GB card. It shows up as 58.27 GB and works fine.
