memory card help

are the new microsdch cards compatible with the touch pro

I've never heard of those, but micro sdhc cards work fine , I'm using an 8mb one

i think sdhc cards are min 4GB dont think anybody feel that 8MB cards are that high capacity

i dunno....it's pretty high capacity for something smaller than my little fingernail

I'm about to purchase a microsd for my HTC Touch pro and i'm between :
Kingston 8gb SDHC class 4
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=170972
and
SanDisk 8gb SDHC class 2
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=158255
and
Expansys 8gb SDHC class 2
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=164646
Now the question is will the HTC support any of the 3 and why the heck is the class 4 kingston lower cost than the other two seeing as its supposed to be faster ? :/

Dunno. Kingston are usually cheaper than sandisk anyway, and i wouldn't touch Expansys' own brand stuff with a bargepole.
Oh and yeah, it should work fine.

Yep, they'll all work. Go for the Kingston. Class 4 is indeed faster. Probably cheaper because it's newer stock (you can tell from the Expansys stock code).
Expansys never seem to reduce prices on accessories like these. They go in at a certain price, and stay at the same price 'til they're all gone. By the way, hold out for a couple of weeks (hopefully?) and you should be able to pick up a 16Gb MicroSD for about £50...
Oh, and if you hit Google, you can usually find a £10 Expansys voucher knocking around for purchases over £20...
EDIT: Just looked at the links, The SanDisk one is Class 4 as well, so I'd probably go for that one, as they're the same price, and I've had loads of flawless SanDisk cards over the years...

Yeap noticed that aswell i'm changing the order to the Sandisk one

Yep sandisk ones are spot on, see if you can get one that includes the free red and black USB reader aswell, great little accessory.
Remember to format it with FAT32

Yeah, Expansys are kinda expensive. Try mobymemory, I've always had an excellent experience with them.

8GB Class 4 SanDisk WITH card reader, loads cheaper. Plus when they say it's in stock, you can be pretty certain that it actually is.

Hi, regarding the different speed classes of the micro sdhc cards:
Does it always make sense to use the fastest card and does this really affect the performance according the cards speed class?
I mean does anybody know about the maximum speed of the card interface of the touch pro? I'm thinking to buy the SanDisk Ultra (class 6)

Within the device itself, the class of the card won't matter too much. A class 4 is probably comparable to a class 6, and certainly wont make a difference when it comes to playing mp3s or viewing pictures. But a class 6 card will certainly make file transfers faster on to/off of the card using a PC (best results if you use a separate usb/card adapter and not "disk mode" on your Touch Pro).
For reference, I'm using A-DATA Class 6 8gb MicroSDHC, works perfectly and no errors. Available for $31 at Newegg (if you're in US).

sandisk class 4 sdhc microsd 8 GB is the fastest at the moment and you can get it for 33 euro.. works fantastic..

16gb mircoSD Cards

I'm looking to get a new micro sd card, as my 8gb is out of room and frequently unmounts or goes read-only on my mobile. Im wondering where to get one and what kind of 16gb sd card I should get as after looking on ebay its a bit hard to tell what is fake and what isnt and I dont know any other stores that sell them..
Preferably class4+ and size 16gb
I live in australia by the way..

There is a guy selling some in the market here for $20, legit.
But I think there class 4 cards.
And this is the one thing that I wouldn't trust ebay with because there are so many fakes.

Wow nice, if only I lived in canada...
Do you know of a legitimate online store that sells them? I remember a thread that had good quality ones but I forgot the name of it and at the time they were out of stock..

Actually the guy selling them lives in the states.

Hi,
I had the same problem with the sporadically unmounts (sometimes several times a day) so I decided to buy a different card. I bought a class 4 Kingston 16GB sdhc on eBay. I paid in Germany about 29 Euro for it.
Now there are no more problems with the storage. I hope I could help you.

I've just ordered Patriot 16gb Class 10 through Amazon, it costs 30++ USD without shipping (considered very cheap for class 10 and it has quite a good review from users).

I'm using a Kingston 16GB class 4 card bought from Amazon, in my honest opinion I think that class 10 is much of a muchness and the price difference can be vast.
I would not buy from Ebay, chances of getting a fake is much higher here, rather use Amazon or some other reputable seller.

What is the cluster size did you format.

I got a few off ebay. They start low, around 1$ and go up, i got one for 11$ before.

i SO need to get me a bigger sd card!

Q: Large micro SDHC Cards

Hello guys and gals,
I am starting to feel the pinch with an 8 Gb memory card and wondered if anyone had found a good, cheap and compatible 16 or 32 Gb micro SD cards for the Desire S.
EBay seems to have some 32gb cards for about 10 GBP which sounds insane.
Anyone got a suggestion for this UK Desire S user?

You don't want a cheap one, spend those 30€ on a class 10 card. It's well worth it its faster and will probably not die on u as some cheap one might.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

Do NOT buy cards from ebay. They will always be fake, when they arrive they will say 32gb but if you perform a scan with a tool it shows its actual capacity to be 1gb! Don't fall for it like I did!
Just use google shopping and search for the cheapest price for a memory card from a reputable site.
In fact, I see you're in the UK and theres a good deal on from play:
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/16710254/Lexar-16GB-Micro-SDHC-Memory-Card-Class-4/Product.html
I bought a 16GB class 6 about half a year ago for £18 so this is a pretty good deal.
From experience classes dont make much of a difference at all, maybe miniscule. This card comes with a 5 year warranty so no need to worry about it dying on you.

I ordered a 16gb class 10 y/day from play for £17.99 It's Pny but will do the job

Cheers for the replies. I thought eBay would have been a rip but you never know with that place, some crazy deals happen and we miss them because we fear them (and quite rightly 99% of the time).
Might pounce on the 16 Gb Class 10 from Play.com.
Anyone know if the Desire S can take 32Gb cards and are there any good deals on those? Best I've found is £38, give or take pennies.

Far as I know yeah it can handle a 32gb

Yes, it can! =)
Mine is MicroSDHC 32GB Transcend Class4 (TS32GUSDHC4). Works good.

I got my 16 Gb today and its working fine

Did anyone tested an A-DATA / KINGMAX 16GB, class 10?

I got a scandisk 16gb.. works great!

Just in case, enable hidden files viewing.

I bought a Samsung 16GB Class10 microSD, works like a charm...

bought a sandisk 16gb class 4, everything is running fast and without problems, don't know if you would "feel" a higher class at all

I spent a lot of time looking on the 'net for a reasonable price 32GB card.
Saw plenty on Ebay but many looked untrustworthy (had a bad experience before!)
Eventually collected a 32GB Class 4 card for £35 from Novatech, local to me.
The Novatech card I got turned out to be Integral brand with 5 year warranty.
It's actually a Toshiba manufactured card made in Japan, so I'm happy with it.
The camcorder app seems to work better with the Class 4 card than it did with the supplied Samsung 8GB Class 2.

I bought Toshiba 16gb class 4 and it is good working.

Been using a 16 GB Class IV Transcend Micro SD card, everythings been peachy so far. Finding a legit 32 GB Class IV Micro sd card is so hard here in my neck of the woods.

Microsd..what speed class best for the epic?

Prolly just want to keep 16gb as 32gb is still too expensive. Can anyone recommend one?

Don't order yet, I have just purchased a $35 32GB Class 4 from Amazon. (one that has numerous happy reviews on amazon)
Once it gets here and I confirm its quality and speed you should follow suit. I have faith that this one wont be a counterfeit card like all those on ebay for under $50.
I'd say as long as the card is quality, the Class # doesn't mean much. My 16GB card is a Class 2 but the slowest I've seen it run is 5MB/s.

I was looking at the 32Gb Patriot Class 10 card on Amazon... tempting!

Looks like they are sold out... : (

I really wish this was in stock. I would have bought like 20 of them and flipped them on eBay!

im not so keen abour unbranded micro sd's
There is a good deal on ncix, sandisk 32gb class 10 for 44$ + a 20$ rebate sor 24$ but the deal was until feb 1st

Looks to good to be true.

Looks to good to be true! Don't forget that micro SD can be easily counterfeited, it can be a 4-8 GB with the code changed to 32GB so our phones or any other device reads 32GB but is not! They can also change labels... guys be very careful when buying micro SD cards.
A 32GB class 10 OEM is no less than $60 average.
