Many years ago I paid about $2000 for a 40mb hard drive from HP. OK it was many many years ago. It was as big as two shoe boxes taped together. Look at where we are now! I love this stuff. :)

And I just upgraded to a 2GB microSD card. :( It seems there's always something better out there.

According to Sandisk's press release:

"Though standard miniSD and miniSDHC cards look identical in size and shape, only SDHC-compatible products will be able to accept the new miniSDHC cards."

Such as??? Many new devices now support MicroSD for their compact size. Why are they doing this? :?

SDHC cards won't work in the Q. Only in SDHC compatible devices.

So will this work in the 2125? The hardware docs on this are always sparse...

No. Only in SDHC compatible devices, of which there currently are none. To the best of my knowledge, this card won't work with any existing smartphone.

Can anyone confirm whether these will work in the device at all? I've heard on other forums that the SDHC cards have worked in non SDHC devices, it just doesn't recognize the whole capacity.
