Default A Healthy Dose of Memory - SanDisk 1GB miniSD Card

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&camp=1789&tag=smartphonetho-20&creative=9325&path=tg/detail/-/B0007UQ6LK/qid=1118427273/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i2_xgl23?v=glance%26s=electronics%2 6n=507846

What's that? You're 512MB mini-SD card is nearing it's capacity? You want to carry more music? Videos? Pictures? Or perhaps you're just a memory card junkie, like me. :mrgreen: Regardless of your reason, here's the card for you, 1 GB of miniSD storage for $78.95 including a miniSD to SD converter in case you need to plug this into some ancient device. For more details or to order one, check out Amazon's website. [Affiliate]

Mike, that's just evil.

Default Too big for Smartphone?

I'm hoping I'm mistaken, but I thought I read somewhere that the storage card capacity on the Smartphone platform tops-out @ 512Mb? :? Can't remember where I was reading it, but they related it to the early limitations on digital camera storage capacities. Please tell me I'm wrong because I could really use this with "Mobile Media Maker" on long trips!

It is the case with the Motorola MPx220... 512MB is the limit on that model.

Mauricio,

That's not what I've read. I can't say for sure, since I don't have a MPx220, or a 1GB card (yet ) but Eric over at MGN tested a 1GB miniSD in a MPx220 and there was no problems. He also tested one in a SMT5600, and no problems with that phone either.

Here's a link to his review of the 1GB card. http://www.mpx200.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7821

Default Re: A Healthy Dose of Memory - SanDisk 1GB miniSD Card

Well I ordered my 1GB Mini-SD a few weeks ago now and still haven't recieved it. I'm based in the UK and the people (Fotosense.co.uk) I've ordered from stated:

"We are expecting stock within the next 1-2 weeks . Worldwide
shortage."

Not what I wanted to read but I'm looking forward to it! I have an SPV C500 and although I wouldn't mind having an iPOD or other MP3 player I'd rather have one device in my pocket at anyone time!

I am aware that mobymemory has stock of this but it costs 20 pounds more...!

So why does the link to the Amazon vendor list it for $89.99? Did the price jump already? :?

I did, however, find a few sites via pricegrabber that had it for less. Several were out of stock, but Page Computers has it for $70.07. :wink:

the rumors are that it does work on smart phones such as the mpx220, but I have not been able to confirm this.

I can certainly confirm a 1G card works in an SMT5600. I got the biggest card available since I didn't relish pulling the back and battery off to change out cards. Hadn't bothered to stick it in the MPX220, as I don't use that phone much.
