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!

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.

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.

The speed on the card with class 2,4,6. but as for Hero it running on class2 speed no matter u using class 2,4 or 6 micro sd/sdhc. As for the classes is useful on adaptor xfering. ( As for the classes of card is for xfering speed *reading speed is all same*) << this info i got it somewhere while i playing around with my psp slim
As for the brands scandisk is most recommended *almost* everywhere. ( but im using kingston due to more cheaper & is frm my psp *recycle* =D )

Good Morning Frank,
Thank you for taking the time to contact HTC America Technical Support via E-Mail with your inquiry about what class of SD card to use in your Sprint HTC Hero. My name is A.J. and I will be happy to assist you today.
If you are looking to purchase an SD card that the device will read at its full native speed you will need to purchase a class 2. The device will read a class 4 but not at its native speeds.
Frank, if you have any future questions about your device please feel free to visit HTC - Touch Phone, PDA Phone, Smartphone, Mobile Computer and send us another e-mail. You may also enjoy HTC Smartphone Wiki - HTC, which has a plethora of information on HTC devices, including the Sprint HTC Hero! I would also like to invite you to participate in a customer satisfaction survey located at HTC Online Survey I hope you have a great day!

Hope this solve ur question =)
Thank you so very much. Any idea what good website does international shipping for such memory cards?
How about the Teflon issue? will i miss out on much if i went for a brown one?
Also will both micro sd & micro sdhc work
for microSD and microSDHC,I've tried both. They all work!!
Is there anybody here who has their Desire X working with a 64GB SD card before I go ahead and buy one? I understand that some phones have problems with SD cards greater than 32GB. Cheers
myusernamewastoken. He has a SDXC 64GB.
Flowed from my HTC branded muffin...
DX has no problems with 64gb microsd cards... at least mine
Same here... Kingston 64GB microSDXC Class 10... Without a problem...
Only thing is when you mount phone as mass storage on PC... It takes like 10 seconds to recognise opposed to immediately with a microSDHC card... But I'm sure that won't be a major issue...
