Yes, you heard me right, we shall not be ashame or be discourage by other phones who has 8GB or 16GB storage, cause now, I show the world that we, the TOUCH PRO owner, can rejoice for joy and have surpass and become superior to the storage showdown. I represent you and the WORLD FIRST 32GB CLASS 4 Cell phone dubbed, the SPRINT PCS TOUCH PRO.
uhhh... lol. what the hell did you do to that poor thing?
thats ugly but pretty sweet, talk about hot swapping. how did you do it?
Good old fashioned modding there
I guess im the only one that sweat, what happens then?
cool. Nice work, now take the original plastic cover and re-mold it so the chip is inside the plastic cover.
lol Frankenstein Touch!

I bet an extended battery cover could keep it all together (when sprint releases it at least)

I don't know what planet you're living on, but it took manufacturers nearly a year from the time they started rolling out 8GB microSDs to start producing 16GB microSDs. So more than likely, you will start seeing 32GB microSDs at the end of 2009 and as late as 2010 for bigger retail chains (like BestBuy).
Not to mention the fact that because of this ridiculously long interim period, I've actually had just about every capacity of card, 16MB (CF), 32MB (CF), 256MB (CF), 1GB (SD), 2GB (miniSD), 4GB (miniSD), 8GB (microSD), and soon the 16GB (microSD), because I can't bear waiting for the 32GB.
So assuming something like this was used:
http://aptolink.com/product_info.php?products_id=41&osCsid=44e3d010e4effdff2f210c8dfa98d1f1
Wouldent there still be something sticking out of the device on the other side?
I guess I always though that if something like this was that easy to do, third pary manufactures would be offering up adapters / back plates
http://asukal.net/blog/?p=284
this looks like something that could have been used... just take it out of the casing.. i'd be interested in this if there was an extended battery cover.

I don't know about easy, but Craves1 over at Internet Tablet Talk designed a SD->MiniSD adapter / back plate combo for the ITT and had them made, so I am thinking it is probably more of a lack of will or companies thinking there is no market?

That's my exact card in OP.
I bought a extended battery from amazon (accessoryone I think) for $16 something a few weeks ago. With shipping it was under $27. The increased physical size was noticable, but not uncomfortable.
Performance is AMAZING. I leave everything running (data sync, 100% backlight, everything) and still have half a battery after an 8 hour shift of text and web browsing.
No clue on the sdcard, but now I know what I want next.

Ah, I can't use an extended battery because I have to clip my phone on my belt. I am NOT putting it in my pocket. Would also probably even up leaving it in my car - that's a no-no. Especially in deep south Alabama.
However, I say either way - go ebay. It's pretty much always cheap and most sellers for things like that offer free shipping.
As for it measuring up - well, I can't really say. It's done me good. Class 6 and it averages at... I would say 5.4mb transfer speed (to be safe) on Windows 7. Swap partitioned since say i got it and swap partition is still running smooth and hasn't died out yet. What more do I need from it?
naw you didn't come off condescending. and i have a four gig scan disk class 6 in my g1 right now and paid almost 40 bucks for it about a year ago when i get my in week in a week or two ill run some test and see what i get.
well i got my battery and its awesome!!! it didn't make it that much thicker either. when i get the card ill post some speed test
in case any wanted to know i seem to get about .10 mbs per seconds faster speed from a scan disk verse the top ram for the price difference get the topram.
Deleted!!! Ebay pulled the item- kicked the seller out.
Well let me know whats up because if its real I'll get one asap.
Same here. Worst case, we are out 35 bucks.
yeah, let us know if they are in fact real. I think its too good to be true, but I guess you'll find out.

I do as well, but hell, if I am out 35 bucks I'll just do a chargeback or some such, or just eat the cost. It shows I should expect delivery between the 15th and 28th of March, so we shall see.
My gut feeling says it's counterfeit...but the fact the seller is charging such a low price for it makes it easier to 'take the hit' if it is in fact counterfeit.
It's mainly the fact that it's coming from China...and how they're notorious for selling fake memory cards and other merchandise. On top of that, that particular eBay seller doesn't have much total feedback, compared to other China eBayers who typically have many thousands.
Even though the shipment time interval seems to be between 3-5 weeks, who knows...you might end up receiving it much earlier (like in half that estimated time frame).
Keep us posted when you receive the goods.
I thought SD maxes out at 32gb. Anything larger will be SDXC. Does the note even support SDXC?
I also remember reading that counterfeiters will sell fake flash memory that reports itself as the correct size but is programmed to overwrite itself once it goes over the actual physical amount of space on the card. For example you bought a 64gb card and it's really only 16b once you load up over 16bg it will start overwriting itself.
He's also got a 32 GB card for $14
Too good to be true... either stolen or counterfeit is my guess. But for those who are getting it and gets it to work, Grats!

This is a matter of debate that can be argued from many angles, most commonly Cache Vs Class.

I wasn't gonna get into the tit for tat about speed.
But I have a legit question, how's about recording 720p? Seeing the Note is capable of it.
I usually have Class 2, that have worked very well in most of my phone/tablet devices. I rarely if ever record any video that would require any type of "high" resolution, yet.
As for playback, I've not had any issue with even the Class 2 SanDisk... YMMV with other "brands" and/or counterfeits..

I bought his same exact card about 6 months ago for $35. DISREGARD the "class 4" rumors and whatnot. My music and videos play at such an amazing rate you'd assume the card is an expensive high class etc etc. The only notable difference is when your copying your music/videos to the card from your computer. So what..wait acouple of hours for 4000 songs to get copied! I did and for the price how could you say no?

absolutely, for me they have far and away been the most consistantly fast cards. You just have to be careful, there are lots of fakes and knockoffs out there that look identical, especially on ebay. Beware anything anyone selling them without OEM packaging. I have fallen for the "these were returns, so we're selling them cheaper since they are out of package" If it's not in Sandisk authenticate packaging, I won't touch it. The 32Gb I bought at walmart a few months ago cost me $50, and that was a decent deal then.
Sorry. I didn't mean to derail the topic. I use the camera a lot for 1080P video, which uses large files and needs a fast write speed. For me, the class 6 or 10 might be better. But after reading the threads you linked to, it does seem that the Sandisk class 4 would be the best all-rounder for most people. Thanks again for the thread. I may order one and give it try anyway. I'll let you know.

I believe when recording it saves locally then once stopped it goes to perm storage, this used to be the way it was, may or may not have changed but would make sense to keep this this way.
I keep a card or two on hand loaded with movies and TV shows for when I travel or know I'll be sitting bored for awhile just incase the 32 I have installed doesn't have enough entertainment. For $20, you can't lose.
By save locally, you mean save/cache/buffer on phone then to external storage if so configured?
I doubt it would do that, as the phone's internal memory is write limited by the same limits as an SD card, correct?

I'm not real sure to be honest man, it's mostly theory because in the past on slower android phones, after I finished recording it would take a few seconds as it "saved" anything more then a few moments of video. I contributed this to holding locally then transferring to external afterwards. In my head, doing it this way would eliminate any pauses in recording caused by what I would imagine would be slower read/write speeds as the primary partition access is faster then the external SD. We would need a dev/programmer with knowledge of these things to confirm/bust this theory. But anyways, back on track, great deal for a big card.
other sites I check daily for these deals is Woot.com and Tanga.com
Tanga is especially known for funny tshirts for dirt cheap. They both have a few deals per day. Sometimes amazing sometimes less than.

It's a sound theory to me, though I don't 100% agree it does make a lot of sense. Personally I'd chalk it up to having an older phone, I do know what you're talking about my G1 did the exact same thing.
As for speed differences between different classes of SD cards, though it is hotly debated, I've personally did a little seat of the pants bench marking between my class 2, 4, 6 and 10 and in the end my class 10 was only 2 or 3 seconds faster on multiple smaller file transfers, when it came to one large file (such as what you'd expect from a 720p video) the difference was negligible.
As for the main post, it's one heck of a deal. if i hadn't already bought a class 10 i'd jump on this. Heck, I own a tablet, I might still order one.
Also if you want to check out daily deals, check out dodtracker.com. it's a collection of deal sites. its not very pretty, but it does get the job done.

tegra 3, fail.
an s4 silicon chipset with corresponding GPU would have been nice. exynos, not really "cutting edge" by todays performance standards.
I disagree. Tegra 3 and nvidia are way ahead it terms of developer support. That's why there are so many tegra 3 titles. And at the $200 price point this makes the kindle fire look, well, horrible. I am very pleased with the original specs. Yes krait may have been better but nvidia goes out of its way to lower price points and gets it soc in as many devices as possible. If you want something that has all the greatest hardware then u have to put out the $$$. At $200 I know the android community will flock to it and I hope consumers will to. All in all, I will get one and I hope the 7inch factor will be as useful as I think.

I can't comprehend why Google is being so stupid with their Nexus lineup, especially tablets. I would absolutely love to use one of these on vacations/business trips with an HDMI cable to take my media with me and still watch them on a TV. I want to fill this thing up with tv shows and movies (and even music if possible) but it seems like they don't give a crap. Not including a microsd card is a freaking deal breaker every damn time.
Not to change the subject, but if we do get multiple Nexus phones from the big manufacturers later this year.. and not a single one of them has a microsd card.. I'm going to pull my hair out and scream. haha

That's what I am afraid of. They've skimped on the last two Nexus phones. The least they could do is offer 32gb standard. The GSM Galaxy Nexus has 16gb while the CDMA versions both have 32gb.
I would prefer to go Nexus with my next phone and tablet, but Google's got to get their head out of their ass first. It's way too early to rely on the cloud for all of your media needs - especially on a tablet that is wifi only. It's asinine.
Do they have a microSD slot?
If they do, I don't see what the problem with only 8GB is. They did that so you could have a nice tablet with good specs at the price of $200. If you want more storage, just pay the $50 for a 64GB micro sd card. A 64GB variant of the tablet would probably cost $300 anyway so you'd be getting a better deal than if it was already 64GB.
As for relying on cloud storage, I hate how we're being forced to do that. I ****ing hate cloud storage since streaming with sprint's 3G is slow as hell and it wouldn't be adequate for a tablet. Cloud storage should only become a norm when we have mobile satellite internet or some sort of internet that's fast and everywhere.

I disagree. Tegra 3 and nvidia are way behind it terms of developer support. That's why there are so few ics tegra 2 roms and all of them suck. Pumping funds in game developers to make titles exclusive is not what I would call dev support. But withholding drivers and disclosing specs is exactly what I would call neglect the devs.
The guys over at Linux aren't very fond of Nvidia. Linus Trovalds (creator of Linux) says "NVIDIA has been the single worst company we've ever dealt with!" and gives a big middle finger to the company on camera.
Basically, Nvidia is making tons of money off of multiple open source linux platforms without giving anything back to the open source community.

The guys over at Linux aren't very fond of Nvidia. Linus Trovalds (creator of Linux) says "NVIDIA has been the single worst company we've ever dealt with!" and gives a big middle finger to the company on camera.
Basically, Nvidia is making tons of money off of multiple open source linux platforms without giving anything back to the open source community.

Do they have a microSD slot?
If they do, I don't see what the problem with only 8GB is. They did that so you could have a nice tablet with good specs at the price of $200. If you want more storage, just pay the $50 for a 64GB micro sd card. A 64GB variant of the tablet would probably cost $300 anyway so you'd be getting a better deal than if it was already 64GB.
As for relying on cloud storage, I hate how we're being forced to do that. I ****ing hate cloud storage since streaming with sprint's 3G is slow as hell and it wouldn't be adequate for a tablet. Cloud storage should only become a norm when we have mobile satellite internet or some sort of internet that's fast and everywhere.

I know its already been replied to, but I wanted to reiterate this. I already did buy the 64GB card and I LOVE it. I can store as much crap as I want. I've watched an entire season of Archer on planes to/from Denver and in a hotel there while on business. I basically want to be able to load a tablet up and not have to worry about running out of new stuff to watch or listen to. I was able to do that with my old Nook Color that ran CM7 before I sold it on ebay. To not be able to do something so simple on the pure Google tablet (which will run circles around any Nook or Kindle) is just not right. Hopefully the leaked information is incomplete or inaccurate and it does have a microsd slot.
If they botch this then I will probably look to get an Asus tablet since it only took them about a month to bump the Transformer Prime up to ICS and the OG Transformer wasn't very far along after that. Google better do something amazing tomorrow if they want my $ -- and trust me I've been dying to give it to them for a while now. haha
So, what about USB otg support? Maybe that will solve storage problems.
Anyone got information bout that?

OK so I got around to thinking about this "problem" of not having microsd slots on new devices, and I was wondering if anyone out there makes an accessory that attaches to the charger and has a card reader on it. Basically an external card reader. It wouldn't be the fastest for transferring files I'm sure, but it's better than giving up all the microsd cards my family has acquired.
I did some Googling and found this thing on Amazon -- does anyone know if it does what I described above? I can't tell if its meant for use with actual phones/tablets or just the computer.
Or if anyone knows of a product that does exist and can provide a link (or even a name) that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
Alight yall.... so which one did you order?
I went with the 128GB - Black Sapphire, because of my music library collection, HD videos, Movies, and massive amount of pictures..... I actually need all the space that I can get..... let alone all my cloud storage's....
Plus don't we get 115GB FREE CLOUD STORAGE TOO? + 1 Year of NETFLIX FREE....
.
Very interesting so far....
I had a hunch that the 64GB variant would be the most popular. Two TM reps that I've spoke with even said that the 64GB's are flying off the shelves like hot cakes. Makes sense...
This comes to show...aside to the price difference, 64GB is plenty to have on board especially with Cloud Storage's nowadays. Now on the flip side IMO 32GB is too small for most users with a device of this caliber. However, some people just don't need that much space....
Mine should be arriving any moment now!
There's a lot more 128GB's ordered than I thought....nice...

There is going to be bias here too since most people on xda are devs or power users.

Pretty much this.
I would expect that the eventual spread, overall, will end up with 50-60% of users going with the 64GB variant (Edge or Standard), with the 128GB and 32GB variants splitting the remaining percentage, likely skewed somewhat in the favor of the 32GB variant because plenty of people are going to want the design/new phone smell without the super premium cost of the 128GB variant. Forums like this one though will see similar, though the skew would be in favor of the 128GB variant.

I would agree...I think in general, within and outside of XDA, that there is a ~50% split between the 32GB and 64GB variants. It's good that people are buying the 128GB too, because that will pretty much confirm the standard going into the future. I think it already is. For any premium phone today to not have 128GB as an option is not very smart. Soon 128GB will be the lowest offered I'd imagine, especially with the new design language and its unibody frame....imagine 512GB of storage option in the future LOL...at some point it'll become overboard, but as our cameras get better, video recording gets better, games get better and bigger..... 512GB is not a stretch by any means.
Very exciting stuff....:laugh:
128Gb, Gold. Verizon
I got the 32 gig sprint. I ordered mine on Amazon. I wonder if I get any free stuff with it.

You know.....the more I look at the Gold S6(E), I'm really wanting it now LOL! I actually like it a lot...over the black sapphire which is nice too, but dang that Gold looks so Classy!
Hmmmm.....I'm this "" close..... someone just push me to do it ROLF.
Good stuff ..:highfive:
I just went with 32GB Black. I keep my photos on the cloud, watch movies when I'm home and stream it. The only thing that takes up most of my room is my music but I don't have nearly enough music to fill 32GB as I buy my music still aha.

Do it. A T-mobile store near my house had the gold on display, man that thing looks sexy. It is soft gold, not like the Gs5 last year. I can't wait until May 1... Or by the way, May 1 is my anniversary too... Very special day hahahaha
