Not worth the money though Eaglesteve. I could buy TWO 8gb Sandisk SDHCs with free postage for 37 dollars less than that. 179 dollars for 12gb versus 60 dollars for 8gb is a total rip off for an extra 4gb in my opinion. Hopefully the price will drop soon though.

Hey leoni, where can you get the 8 gigs for that cheap, and does it come with the mini sd adapter? Oh and by the way you make total sense as usual. Way over priced. But thanks for the info Eaglesteve.

Www.play.com. It's a sandisk and comes with an sd card adaptor and a usb sdhc card reader. Ive tested my sdhc card in 3 different card adaptors from non-sdhc cards and they work fine anyway so you just need a microsdhc to minisd adaptor from ebay or elsewhere for the athena if you dont have one already....
Any products bought by "early adopters" are more expensive. It will come down in price. When I bought my 4 GB SD cards for AUD300 few years ago it was a steal because the 512MB was going for more than 100 then. Now, we looked at that and laugh. The same goes for Athena - because I bought it very soon after it was released, I paid probably 50% more than what could be had today.

You're right Eaglesteve, although in this instance I think i'll be a late adopter of 12gb cards. I can cope without that extra 4gb for now, 8 is more than enough for me now anyway!
16gb micro sdhc cards are about to be released too! Check out www.symbian-freak.com for the article
Already??
I thought they would come 4th quarter this year...
Nevermind,the article doesn't say a word about availabilty.
On the other hand,the pix are proof that those things are existing already...
i did the same with my psp and pro duo's. In 2005, the best you could get even a 1gb for was about 60 quid on ebay, and I got a 2gb from singapore for 85 quid. these days, only 2 and a bit years later, its about a tenner
Lol at electronics

Don't mind at all....i should get it a few days after March 10th. Just shoot me a reminder in case I forget.
For all those considering the 12gb micro sdhc cards, the 16gb cards will be released also in 2-3 weeks, with 32 GB models (rather incredibly) arriving in the next few months. Sandisk seem to be ahead of the mark here, and the whole 32gb Athena project could instantly be put on hold: why not take out the mircodrive altogether to save on batteries! it'll be superfast to stick all your films on a 32gb card with the supplied card adaptor and reader, so screw activesync/wm5torage.
32gb cards should work in any sdhc compatible device, since the manufacturer's given capacity for the device's card reader is invariably based on current size limitations. There is no reason why a 32gb card wouldn't work in an Athena so this could be quite a big step for the device, and mobile devices in general.
I disagree that the 32GB project could go on hold. There is a 16GB SSD that costs ~$110, and in 6 months or so, there will be a 32GB SSD out by at least one manufacturer.
Couple that with a 32GB micro SDHC card, then you have an Athena with 64GB, that costs much less than a Sony UX

I think there a people out there who might still want to take their device apart to replace it with an ssd and risk bricking their device (and certainly shred their warranty) but i imagine most would prefer to use a card as the transfer speed of a card in a reader vs software transfer over activesync/wm5toerage file is huge.
By this time of the year, my warranty is already about to expire anyway. If there is well documentated instruction by a more hardware oriented poster, I'm willing to take the risk of opening it up.
I prefer to install all my program on a non-removeable storage, so that I can swap the removeable one in and out at will for even more storage.
Plus, I expect savings in battery life, access speed (SSD should be quite a bit faster than the microdrive, I expect), and reduced weight are all attractions. It would also certainly make Athena surpass X7510 in everyway other than the keyboard. Just imagine, we have larger storage and we still manage to keep all the nice hardware buttons.
That's half the fun is trumping HTC at their own game!
Imagine, when the 16gb 7510 hits the streets and some tech blogs instantly declares is obsolescent because someone has jammed a 32gb ssd into a 7500/7501.
Maybe then HTC will wake up and juice up the 75xx series to have great video performance, and other improvements.
Any update yet on the availability of these larger storage cards? I can't find any 12gb microSDHC for sale online apart from preorders. And if 16gb are only 3 weeks behind, I'll wait for those.
Thanks
Jon
Found some info here... http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2281491,00.asp
In part, it says (re SanDisk):
Product-wise, the company made no major announcements at CTIA, but company reps did confirm to us that the previously announced 12GB microSD size will not be released. Instead, this summer the company is going to "jump to the next obvious size," which is 16GB.
Apparently the 12 giggers previously 'available' are all only pre-orders?
I've had a few cards where it would only let me write to half of the card and the other half was corrupt. I suggest every time you buy a flash mem card you write to the full amount right away to test it. Because sometimes you never get around to using the whole thing until way later and then is when you realize it's faulty. 12gig copy time will be insane.

Works good here.. One odd issue was that I had to use the included MicroSD adapter stick. I tried another one that was a little older and it reported the media as write-protected. Maybe because it's the super high capacity?

isn't there an issue with the sandisc cards with getting them in and out of the slot and ill fitting or something?
I am using a SanDisk 6gb sdhc card in my kaiser with no issues on insert/remove or the storage side of things. In the UK carphone warehouse have them in stock in their high street shops. I paid £49.99 which was about a tenner over the net price but as we were in the middle of a postal strike at the time I didn't really mind!
Using a 6GB ScanDisc no problems what soever.

with proper software and drivers the mogul should theoretically be able to use up to 2tb, although ATM the 12gb is the largest available (16s should be out in june)
I'm not 100% sure but I do believe the SDHC spec (which is what allows sizes above 4 GB) has a 256 GB limit.
But that doesn't mean they can't come up with a new spec (SDHC2?) that will go beyond that. By then you will probably have a new phone anyway! LOL

because SDHC uses sector addressing it can go up to 2048gb, AFAIK the largest SDHC card right now is a regular SD at 32gb

i know 8gb works with the drivers in the latest rom (theres a cab floating around too that will install them for 2.09 or earlier)
not sure about 12, if the current drivers cant handle it i doubt it will be long before there is a driver that does
I've upgraded to the new ROM, and got the 8GB card in the mail today. I threw it in my phone, and it works like a dream.
The only credit I will give Micro-whatever, and it pains me to do so, is their plug-and-play capabilities.
man for those 4 extra gb's of space they're trying to charge 3X what i got my 8gb for thats wild might as well get a seperate 4gb for 20 bucks. Amazon sells the 8gb for 50 bucks and 60 i could not justify paying an extra 100 bucks for that
I guess i'm lucky... i got a new sandisk 8GB SDHC for $32.45 (and that included shipping!) I just looked for an auction that ended at a weird time...
It even came with the usb adapter, woohoo!!!

up to 16GB all I have is 4GB and its more then enough. But a friend wants to send me one and asked me what is would prefer. I would go for 16GB but I don't know if I can use it. I have a AT&T Tilt.
Thank You.
Hi and welcome around,
searching a little bit around may have answered your question .
The Kaiser definitely supports µSDHC up to 16 GB. As soon as 32 GB comes up, it will also support it.
Got a 16Gb in mine. Runs great. Just got to find stuff to fill it now!

I am also using a 16GB sandisk. It works great and have no problems. The only thing I will say, as with any flash memory, is that mine is just below 15GB. I personally think that the labeled amount should be the minimum amount available. Sorry for that... go for the 16GB!
Where are you guys buying these 16GB cards? I can't even find them on any of the major retailers' sites. I'm curious to see how much they run. 16Gb used to be a pipe dream to me. heck, the 4 gig I'm currently using used to be such a pipe dream. I remember when I paid $350 for a 1 gig SD card...
16 gigs would be lovely though. I could load up on music.

I was going to post something about the ADATA 8GB card I actually have, because I thought it was a great buy at 18.99, but when I checked their web site today, it turns out since I bought mine only about 2 weeks ago, they posted the above Class 6 speed card with 16GB!
I would make a fuss and return my old one, the only thing is, I don't even have any way of filling up the 8GB card - so I may as well wait until the 32Gb cards come out - also anothjer reason is my Tilt is getting to bee a little long in the tooth with scratches, etc. - so by the time the 32GB cards come down in price there may be other models coming onto the market I want to buy instead of the current phone I have now...

There will no doubt be better phones on the market in the near future (HTC's leaked road map has some nice looking phones due out this year, and that Nvidia Tegra system looks awesome). But, the beauty of the situation here is, pretty much any phone worth buying in the future should have a micro SD slot. It kind of sucked buying SD cards with Mini SD on the horizon, and then buying Mini SD cards with Micro SD on the horizon. But Micro SD seems to have settled in as the standard, so your 16 gig card will probably work on your next device.
According to A-Data's website, they don't make a 16gb microsd card
The link above takes you to a 16gb flash card, but it's not a microsd card. The cheapest ones I've seen are 50+ on ebay, probably fakes, but I have an 8gb, probably fake that I go on ebay, and it works perfectly.
I have a 16 gb micro sd card that I bought on ebay, and it works great. I've had no problems whatsoever with it, and I've really loaded it up! I paid $52.00 for it (shipping included).
It Supports up to 32gb
Correction 16GB MicrSDHC not yet available?
My first post tothis thread was wrong, that was a 16GB sd card, not a micro sdhc card. All I can find for highest capacity (class 6) is an 8GB card which I am now using (and itis fast):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211341
And it's only $15.49!
It appears that the class 4 and class 6 make little difference in speed tests,maybe the tilt read/write throughput gets maxed out at the class 4 speed??? Any thoughts anyone?
Still waiting..

double the capacity, yet more than 4x the price of a 16gb card.. come on.
£27 delivered for 16GB or £99 for 32GB ?
That's the equivalent of paying an extra £72 for gaining a mere 15GB more space.
do you think its easy to just double the capacity of something thats physically so small?
This is like comparing the price of a 42" LCD TV and 50" LCD TV...do u think the prices are proportionate ?? The difference is even more when u compare 50" and 105" (for a 100% increase we may have to pay abt 500% or more)

To be fair, that's not an accurate comparison. A 105" screen has more than 4x the surface area of a 50" screen. So, paying 500% more is not all that unreasonable. However, to pay 300% more for double the memory, while not unhear of historically, is a bit steep. I'll wait until August when they're £50!
Lol why are you people defending your reasons to buy one or not to? Isn't it your own choice? xD
you could get 3 X 16GB @ 27 quid for the price of one 32 GB! plus you have some money left for a packet of crisps and some cola bottles!
you could place the spare cards in the battery cover, where that spongey foam stuff is !

but..i'll tell you what..i had an 8gb class 2 that (for the record) perform well..but now i bought a 16gb class 6 and trust me..with 10gb of mp3 and 4gb of divx has no slowdowns..never..and has an amazing transfer rate..
my point is: if u need alot of space for your device, u also need some speed..otherwise u got a tons of mp3s i.e. that only slow down your device..
just my two cents..

you could get 3 X 16GB @ 27 quid for the price of one 32 GB! plus you have some money left for a packet of crisps and some cola bottles!
you could place the spare cards in the battery cover, where that spongey foam stuff is !
note: this is not a serious suggestion although i would go for it

This, single handedly, is the best storage advice you'll ever hear. I salute you fellow goon

As I understand it the bus on the HD2 couldn't take advantage of the full class 6 speed anyway.
Sure, if you're transferring 10Gb of data from your computer onto the card directly, you'll notice the difference, but I reckon most people put their music on their SD card once, and leave it on, so it's hardly an everyday occurrence.
I know this is not a Sandisk but I think you might want to know.
Check this.
This is a class 4, very interesting for a cheap price. I'll follow your advice for now though.
as u see my title i am looking for a memory card for my htc hd2 . which type of do i need to buy it and also i want to buy class 6 where can i find it and it has to be approximetly 50-60 paund.
thanks...
you going to be looking about £100 for a start

Indeed, expect £100, release in April, class isn't announced yet but I guess it will be 2 or 4 max.
So you should be looking for 2x16GB instead.
whats the use of 2x 16gb when theres only one microsd slot?

You swap em round
I'm looking for a 1tb card, I've got about £3 is that okay?
someone get me one! Bah HTC will have to fix this... etc etc
I have a 16GB Class 6 and find it helps keep every interaction on the HD2 snappy. I install all of my programs on the card and play large movie files (600mb-1.8GB).
Swapping between all these programs and movies and phone calls etc really flies. I originally tried a 2GB class 2 and a 4GB class 4 and found they were ok but not as responsive when you had lots going on.
So my choice was 8GB,16GB or 32GB class 6. The price hike between 16GB to 32GB was significant and the steps between the loweer capacities were quite close so I went for the highest capacity card I could afford.
If you look around you can get them at "reasonable" prices.
The added advantage of a class 6 is when I plug the card into my PC I can transfer large (movie) files quite quickly and the speed difference is more noticeable when doing this on lower class cards.

LOL £3??? is there a free one available?
actually i'm happy with my kingston 16gb class 10 card
was sceptic at first but it holds up to what they say min 10mb/s transfer
you will be lucky to get a 32gb for around 50 to 60. i have 10 sandisk 32gb microsd for £65 each on order from HK and genuine. These retail for 80 - 90 in the uk. Not sure how much the trade is in the uk (unless i check supplier details) but the profit margin on memory cards is extremely small.
For the money your willing to spend you are better of doing what someone else suggested and that is using several 16gb cards.

That is hilarious, I was laughing for ages! How true it is though.
WOW, why would you need so much pron on your mobile ? LOL.
i heard someone posting about pr0n?
where is it? are there girls in it?
<°(((<
set aside the childish remarks from members the same question could be asked about your hard disk in your machine, why do you have a hard disk larger than a few GB, why bother going 500GB, 1TB+ etc. The same answer applies to having a larger memory card, but for example TomTom maps of europe and america can be larger than 10GB alone, music collection can be large and some people like to use their phone as mobile storage instead of hotswapping usb pens.
I have filled up my 16gb memory cards with just that music (because i like to use my phone as a mp3 player) and the next step from 16 is 32.
DR_ASHK: The higher the class the faster the write speed but this also can be limited by the hardware / software.

Link to the retailer?
No link to supplier and hardly any of them have a web site etc, they are all based in HK Sham Shui Po, Golden Computer Arcade the only place to get good deals and contacts (also where a lot of people see new comp tech stuff out in the wild).
