I started shopping for a larger SD card ans noticed that all of them are SDHC... and my iPaq 4155 is not compatible with SDHC

So what kind of a 4GB or 8GB regular SD card should I get?

I am interested in #1 - reliability (no lost / corrupted data) #2 speed

Thank you all!!!

sdhc=sd high capacity. In order to bypass the limitation of 2 Gb of the original sd spec. They adapted it to a new spec.
There were some higher that 2Gb regular sd cards that were produced by "cheating" on they sd spec but I wouldn't call that reliable. Many devices couldn't properly see all of the available space. While I don't know if the 4155 was one of them...I not sure you'd want to find out the hard way.

thank you for that interesting info - guess I should buy a regular 4GB SD card in a store like bestbuy so I could return it on the spot if it is no go VS buying online... (that is if they have any of these "cheating" cards...)

I found one in Microcenter that works with my iPAQ 4700. The brand is Patriot.

It was the second brand I tried; the first one didn't work. Microcenter makes you go through checkout before you can open and test the card, but if it then doesn't work they let you return it immediately.
