Hi all!
What memorycard is to prefer?
I know it is microSD, but there's so many different microSD's out there so how will I know which one to choose? (classes, speed a.s.o.)
If we don't care about memory size (4-8-16GB) what is the very best to use?
Best memory?
Best memory/$?
What memory NOT to use?
I picked up an A-DATA 8gb Class 6 microsd card (US$35) to use once I get the Touch Pro. I haven't used it yet, but I also have the 4gb version (US$15) which works great.

DO NOT BUY.
That's SDHC, not MicroSDHC...
32 gig Micros aren't available yet.
This is a totally personal opinion. You will find that among us professional geeks, we have brand preference.
When It comes to Solid State Media, I always pay a little more the get a SanDisk item from a reputable dealer.
Every Card CF or SD or my MicroSD, has been SanDisk Manufactured and I've never been disappointed.

OK guys, thx for your input!
@JimmyMcGee: Yeah, I too has allways payed a little extra when choosing between some things, in most cases it's clearly that you get what you payed for, I mean, even if you look beyond brand names a.s.o. there often is a difference between the cheap and the more expensive ones.
But my reson for this Q was foremost to clarify the speed and class issue, is someone better then the other, so except brand, what more do I need to consider?
I bought a Scandisk 8gb. Play.com have them for £16.99 with free delivery.
I found this after i ordered the same from mobymemory which was more expensive.
I am also looking for a microSD card for my future friend Raphael.
I want the fastest 8 GB MicroSD card available that can be used in Raphael. €10 more or less, I dont care but I dont want to pay for overkilling the spec.
What MicroSD do you recommend, if not this one that I have found:
SanDisk Mobile Ultra 8GB microSDHC
http://www.i4u.com/full-review-447.html
Would it work fine in a Raphael?
Have anyone used it in an other HTC?
Simple:
Dont buy a memory that don't have "C" logo with class number in it.
If it doesn' have it, there's probably nothing to be proud of.
Currently you can get a decent-prized "class 6" memory with 4 GB or 8 GB capacity.
Class 6 is faster than Class 2 and Class 4 of course.
Cheers,
bought a sandisk 8gb microsd sdhc card .. 7700 mb free
they sell it at mediamarkt for 40€
@corsa2: this is probably the same card it is pretty fast and works fine as these are designed for mobile phones
Just buy a SanDisk. Work out how much memory you are likely to need - get a card with more than you require and MAKE SURE ITS A SANDISK! this will avoid fighting for refunds, hours trying to reformat, burnt dinners cause you are engrossed in the problem, angry women who just don’t understand why you don’t pay them any attention anymore, females who fight back when you loose you temper cause your new "good value" f'n card has failed and you refuse to accept the fact - BUY A SANDISK... I don’t work for SanDisk but they do work for me and will probably work for you…
Just bought a Touch Pro... will update my sig when I've decided which ROM to install...
Rgs,

SanDisk Mobile Ultra 8GB is superb!
Bought this one for my MDA Vario IV (T-Mobile branded HTC Touch Pro) for 40 euro at the Phone House (Netherlands). This class 6 micro SDHC was 10 euro more expensive than a class 4 device, but worth every cent!!
I've used several brands micro SDHC cards, but i'll stick to SanDisk now, maybe more expensive but reliable: no issues at all for about 3 years of use in my PPC's.
I don't have a Touch Pro yet (that will change in around 3-4 days though), but I do have a Sandisk 8 Gb class 4 card, which is very good but unfortunately isn't sold anymore, now there's only class 2 and 6 (which is extremely expensive).
I tested it with H2testw and got the following results:
Test finished without errors.
You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.
Writing speed: 11.4 MByte/s
Reading speed: 16.8 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4
I was wondering if anyone with a class 6 card could do the same test?
Hello there, just bought a PNY Micro SDHC Premium 8 Go ... but it's not recognize by the phone ... do you think that it can be solve by a Rom update ?

There are a number of dependable cards out there. Amazon has user feedback on each of their cards which can be useful to help you decide which card is best for you. Which ever card you chose, make sure you format it before you use it. Put the card into a card reader and format it FAT32 on your computer at least once. The ROM should not be a factor in you device reading your card, FORMAT the card...David.
Ok thx for the information
Formating was the first thing I did after trying it in the phone ... but didn't help
I bought the PNY because It's suppose to be a good brand, and never thought it would not work with my phone
Guess I gona have to buy an other one
Thx
I bought a 16gb Toshiba MicroSDHC card yesterday for $50. So far so good--I put it in and it has been working flawlessly. Hope I'm not jinxing myself! lol
IMHO I don't think it really matters but I have always used Sandisk and have been quite happy.....
i use a-data since i find it to be the cheapest. i've used 4 and still use them. no data loss or failure yet. oh and i just ordered another just for my fuze. 8gb ($18 shipped)

Got one of these, its a class 8 too
hi guys
my pro comes during next week and i wanted to check what size memory cards it'll take. If it supports Micro SD will it support Micro SD HC cards? What's the maximum size it'll support please?
thanks.
http://www.htc.com/europe/product.aspx?id=49936
see the photo number 6
so for £17 an 8GB SDHC card from play.com is my best option really? Any other suggestions?
That's even cheaper than Ebay!
I bought a 2GB Sandisk one from Play for my Artemis and it buggered my phone! Play were a bit arsey about replacing it, but did eventually after a load of emails and phone calls
8 gig rox!
I have 2 8 gigs that I switch back and forth...it was kind of funny to use my phone as an external hard drive via usb! The phone also has disk mode, faster communication to the sd card...
Its almost sick as we keep getting more and more memory! pretty soon we will get rid of moving part drives and everything will be memory!
I've bought an 8gb sandisk class 6 with p&p for around £27 off ebay.
Don't forget that there isn't just size, but speed as well.
As far as I know, the current 16gb cards are class 2, even though some places are stating 4. (I've not come across anybody that can prove they have a class 4) And sandisk isn't even showing details themselves yet.
16 gb microsd class 4 does not exist.
there is only class 2 for this size, the rest are fake!
class 2 should be enough for regular user though...but then again, who on this forum is a regular user? )
I have a Sandisk 16GB Class 2 card - works perfectly.
Does anyone know what Device Class the Touch Pro is?
There is no need for a class 4 card if the unit is a class 2...
Is there any good benchmarking programs for reading SDcards on WM6.1?
16gb, saying class 4 £46.95 http://www.memorybits.co.uk/shop/mi...23-in-1-multi-card-sdsdq016ge11mplus23in/9078
have ordered from them before no issues
No one is selling Class 4 currently, their information is incorrect - many others are similarly stating Class 4 but shipping Class 2. Class 4 is not yet available.

I use Pocket Mechanic on my Tytn II (still running WM6.0); it has a pretty good benchmark suite. I ran it on a SanDisk 16 GB Class 2 I picked up the other day and got write speeds of 1.3 MB/sec. The same test on a SanDisk 8GB Class 4 gives a write speed of 2.05 MB/sec. Those numbers suggest to me that the device is the main impediment to performance -- I should have seen at least 2MB/sec and 4MB/sec respectively (that's what Class 2 & Class 4 mean).
And that's a Tytn II but I'm very interested in what difference it makes in a Touch Pro..
my choice is between the:
Sandisk Mobile Ultra microSDHC 8GB (Think it's class 6) (€38,50)
and the
Sandsik microSDHC 8GB (Which is class 2) (€24,95)
And I really don't know which one to go for.. I somewhere found a Nokia N95-3 review which told that the difference was noticable between the 2 cards.. but I don't know if it's true for the TP..
Any help on this matter?
You guys really need to steer clear of Ebay for memory, to many fakes of rubbish quality, I have used both of these places before and they are excellent and reliable, I just bought a genuine Class 6 sandisk 8GB micro SD plus a keychain USB adapter for £26.50 delivered, from the first place
www.picstop.co.uk
www.7dayshop.co.uk
The pro is class 4 or better i tried wth c1 c2 and c4 cards c4 works the fastest almost 16mb transfer speed via the phone that is not bad.... a full os flash from c4 card take just 5 min nbh image size 154mb so talking about a heavy-weight os. but the same progress with my 4 gb c2 card take over 10min ???? funny
The SanDisk 8GB Mobile Ultra class 6 is superb!!
I've bought this Sandisk micro SDHC 8GB class 6 at 'The phone House' for about 40 euro. The class 4 device was 10 euro less expensive. Yes expensive but worth every cent. I've used several brands the past 6 years and I'll stick to SanDisk: reliable no issues at all and fast!
At this moment 16GB is available but only class 2. Don't buy them because you don't want a bottle neck in your overall system performance!!
Woot has 4gb MicroSD cards for $11 shipped. I just snagged two, but hurry the deal is only good for one day.
i actually emailed HTC about this and got the following email as a reply
Code:
Good Evening,
Thank you for your enquiry about the HTC Touch Pro.
The Touch Pro has been tested with a 16gb MicroSDHC card and it works fine, as for 32gb and 64gb I cannot be sure, as they have not been released yet. More information bout the compatibility of these cards will be available after they have been released and tested.
Please do not reply to this email as this email address is not monitored for replies.
Best regards,

I want to buy a microSDHC 8GB Class4 on ebay. They are pretty cheap these day (less than $30, including shipping)
However, I found this item description:
This memory card is NOT COMPATIBLE with 90% of the devices currently on the market. Ninety-nine percent of internal card readers (inside computers or laptops) CANNOT recognize and use this memory card.
Please bid ONLY if you are sure your device can handle micro SDHC ( microSD High capacity) memory cards.

So I was wondering if a Class4 would work on the Kaiser or Tilt. If anyone got a class 4 or class 6, can I get a confirmation for this?
Confirmed. I use 3 different brands on mine, class 4 and class 6.
Most devices can't handle the 2 gig limit
or 4 gig for that matter, the samsung phone i760 is 2 gig max, the speed isn't the limiting factor, the size is. the newer blackberrys can mostly take the size but if you format the card with a 8800 it will format and 8 gig to 4 gig.
I think there is a workaround for some devices, but the tilt can hand 16gb and 32 also, but thats its max I think. class 2 is 2mb per sec, class 4 is 4mb and class 6 is 6mb per sec transfer speed.

Newegg.com has 8gb SDHC for under $30 Class 6

Yup, I've been using a Trancend 8Gb Class 6 for a few weeks now and it works very well indeed. No problems or "strange effects" like we saw on Hermes.
Only point worth noting is that there is no "major" noticable speed difference between the Class 6 and the Class 4 when used in the Kaiser.
There is (of course) a slight noticable difference when using a USB2 dongle though and copying a huge set of files.. but it's not that much
Ya. Kingston 8gb Class 4 worked great in my Tilt. Oddly, my Vista 64B computer cant read it, but my wifes old XP machine will fine.

I want to use a 8GB microsd SDHC card but the card is not recognised. If I insert a 2GB microsd card it is working. What can I do to use the a 8GB SDHC card?
Thank you in advance 4 help.
i can't understand why your card don't work. I have a 8GB SDHC too. ANd this work perfectly for me.
I tried a Kingston and a Sandisk micro sdhc card - both cards are not working within the HTC Touch 3G.
Both cards are formatted to FAT32. The 2GB card which is working is no sdhc and is formatted to FAT.
ruclip: Which card are you using and what format?
Thank you.
I have this Sandisk and its work. Fat32
I have a Kingston 8Go SDHC and it works perfect.
Take a Hard-Reset. It could help you
Check what class of Micro SDHC you have on hand.
I think high speed SDHC might not work
Mine is SDHC 4 GB class 2, work very well.
I try both of them... they are working
16GB SanDisk microSDHC Card
8192MB SanDisk microSDHC Ultra
almost the same problem :
4GB kingston works
8GB sandisk don't work (both cards class 4)
i can't understand: if i try the 8GB card while the phone is on it works!
if i switch on the phone the 8 GB card won't recognized
I have SanDisk 8GB SDHC class 4
it work perfect
My 8GB Sandisk is working fine, just using the default formatting the card came with, whatever that is.
next try
8GB Kingston class4 .... it works
now i can sell a cheap sandisk 8GB
I have Kingston 8Gb HCmc ... it works, but some time HTC 3G not see this card...if restart work agein
I have SanDisk 8GB SDHC class 2
and it work perfect also
I have two cards: 8MB SanDisk SDHC class 2, and 4MB SanDisk SDHC Ultra class 6. The 4MB version works perfectly, while the 8MB version doesn't work at all. So I'd suggest to try another card...
I have a Sandisk 16 Gb SDHC card and work without problems. Lots of space to play...
I have a SanDisk 4GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDHC SD2.0 Class 6 and works perfect on FAT32
What is highest class suppor ?
Unfortunately i'm feeling the same luck of some of you guys... I bought one 8Gb class 4 Dane-Elec micro sd card, and i just couldn't get it recognized by my htc, so i returned it to the shop and got one Sandisk Class 2. When i got home, i plugged it in my htc, and it recognized it, but after i plugged the htc to the pc and transferred some stuff to the card, the htc never recognized it anymore. I'm felling a little unlucky... I think this could derive from the rom version... Mine is 1.40.410.2 (21259). Could you post your rom's info please? Specially the guys that got the 8gb cards running with no problem.
Thanks

8g kingston micro-sdhc class 4, working perfectly. rom version 1.40.723.2 (21259).
by the way, is your 'micro' sd card comes with sd card adapter? maybe u can test with card reader to confirm whether it is your card problem or your jade got problem!
Quick question guys, i have searched, is the TD2 compatiable with microSDHC?
Where did you search, a good place to start would be the specifications section, although does just say SD 2.0 compatible. A quick google on SD 2.0 would get you the answer though.
(Oh yeah, it is microSDHC compatible)
yes, the topaz is compatible with SDHC up to 16gb
Yeah, should do. microSD 2.0 is microSDHC. I've bought a sandisk 16gb card (class 4) for my phone. Still hasn't arrived though, so can't confirm anything. But according to specs it should be a perfect match

Could you check if your card is really class 4 (maybe test it transferring large files on it using a fast adapter? Most card I have seen are class 2, and the one of the only class 4 was subsequently reported as class 2 in a (rightfully angry) user review.
Juts curious, I already have ordered a 16GB sandisk class 2, which seems (by far) the most common 16GB card available. No test yet (still waiting for my card AND my TD2 ;-) ), but others have reported the combination to work and the class 2 speed more than enough for the phone, only the transfer from PC to card may suffer. The other potential area where write speed is important is video recording and photos in rapid succession....But I think VGA recording will not tax the card, and TD2 is not able to take shots in that fast a succession...

sandisk ultra is class 6, the normal cards are class 2
i have to correct it:
the 1,2,4 and 8GB ultra cards are class 6, the 16GB is still a class 4
normal sdhc cards are 2
i have a class2 8GB card works flawlesly
I would hope it is. My Elfin is running with a 16GB micro SD. It would be toture if I got it and it didn't. %100 sure it does though.
i have Sandisk class2 16gb on my new Diamond2 and it works 100% fine
does not work
i have just bought a 16gb sandisk sdhc card and it will only show up as 4gb in my phone and laptop and i have also been told the phone does not support sdhc buy a memory card retailer

For the record... I have a Kingston 16GB SDHC. Works like a charm.
Me too... been running a Class 2 16mb Sandisk since day one and no problems.
Does anyone know if a class 6 (16G) will work in the Topaz?
I didn't see differences between class 2 and class 4.....

I've just changed from the Class 4 8mb Sandisk, and the difference in speed loading up the card with music/video is minimal. I think the TD2 itself is maybe limiting the speed more than the "Class" rating. There might be a bigger difference if using an external card reader to write to the card.
Does anyone know if a class 6 (16G) will work in the Topaz?

Class 2,4,6 should all work. I would think the brand is more critical than the Class, which only gives some indication of max writing (not reading) speed.
After trying with 2 different brands of Class 6 16G SD cards with no luck whatsoever, I decided to go with a Class 2 and works flawlessly.
I didn't want to waste more time with a Class 4, for now, but maybe I will test it in a little while.
