There are now SDHC cards of 8 GB.
Universal does not support SDHC cards.
BUT... there are many adapters that transform SDHC card into a SD card.
Those are cards of SD size. You insert SDHC cards into them.
Did someone try to use 8 GB sdhc cards on Universal with such an adapter?

I read somewhere in the Qtek Manual that the MAXIMUM Storage Card size the Universal will support is 6GB. I am unsure what will happen if you squeeze an 8GB card into it. Maybe it would:
1. Not detect any card at all
or
2. Will only indicate a 6GB card, despite the fact that you plugged an 8GB one
Whatever the case, I am pretty sure that there is an OS workaround to this issue (if it really is an issue). Maybe WM6 has already addressed this limitation, you never know. Maybe all that you need to do is format the Storage Card to a FAT32 media format, instead of the default FAT16 most cards come in.
Given that SDHC cards are the same size as SD cards, how exactly would it fit into an adapter, and then into the uni?!?!?
There are mini SDHC cards which fit the 2.0 standard but with such adapter I think you'll just get a normal SDHC card..

Yes I am interested in this as well, how can a card that is the same size as the convertor card fit!!!
I have a 4 GB SDHC card (DANE-ELEC) that I bought from Expansys and it works in nothing, no computers, cameras PDA or anything......... What are they supposed to work in?
And if there is and adapter that works please provide a link!!!!

This is always the problem with new technologies in which the Buyer Beware principle applies. The SDHC cards are out there, but the readers for those cards are not yet as pervasive and mainstream as the previous generation ones.
This is a critical flaw in the SDHC technological evolution. They basically produced a half-solution (for me its a half-assed solution) which should have never been implemented. Here is the half-assed solution:
- SDHC readers are backwards compatible and can read traditional SD as well as SDHC cards.
- SDHC cards ARE NOT backwards compatibe with traditional SD readers and will only wrk with SDHC readers.
It is the above problem that has got consumers at large, you included, absolutely furious for not making things clearer. So - if you are an SDHC card holder, and are desperate to use it, well .... there is no choice for you to wait for the SDHC readers to be present in the devices you wish to use SDHC cards in.

How support for Universal ?
Guys, received a review sample of a Transcend 8GB SDHC card today and it doesn't work. The Universal just won't detect a Storage Card.
The same goes for ALL other Windows Mobile devices with SD slot at this moment.
Even readers must be special SDHC ones. I have one of those and the PC can work with the card.
This is not going to help, but I have a Transcend 4GB SDHC card, and it's hopeless too, doesn't work in the Universal.

For that you'll need Transcend's NORMAL 4GB SD card. They have a regular one and a 150x (access speed) one.
I have the latter and it works great for almost a year now.
great~~~~ i like this~
RE
Yes, TRANSCEND 4GB SD card 150x works great on my set too
Pretec 133x Cheetah 4 GB card works on my Universal, too:

I was using it in my MDA Compact (HTC Magician) and it was working ok, too. I had to use cNET Flash format to access 4GB, though.
It would be cool if anyone could come up with a solution that would enable the Universal to read SDHC cards. I'm sure a new driver would solve this as the hardware is exactly the same.

what if you use a micro to SD adaptor with an 8 gig micro SD??
anyone ever try this?
my buddies 2 gig works in the adaptor.

Must reiterate this point... I have one too, and it works great, no problems at all, and fast!
Hopefully this page will answer these neverending SDHC questions... "the SD 2.0 standard in SDHC uses a different memory addressing method (sector addressing vs byte addressing[9]). 4GB SDHC cards can only work with SDHC compatible host devices."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital_card (Scroll down to SDHC).
As far as I can tell, SDHC requires different HARDWARE to run, think it's down to the motherboard level and maybe even the slot itself.
yeah, interestingly my buddies 2 gig micro sd card is sdhc.
and it worked.. i don't actually know if there are 8 gig micro sd.. and MAN those cards are small!

What brand of micro SDHC card are you using?
It's San Disk
Hello everyone,
I have a simple question.. does anyone know what's the maximum capacity of the external SD memory card ??
1 GB ? 2 GB ? less or more..
thanks.
oops
and yes am sorry for not checkin out the thread I found on WM6 section
cheers.
MMC card working
Hi,
I have A-Data 4GB Turbo MMCplus 200x card working in my Qtek9000, WM5/6!
So a 4gb SD works on the Universal?
Yep, I've got a 4gb sd card in my Universal and it works fine. As I understand it 4gb is the maximum.
I'm looking for 4 Gb miniSD/SD
But all the cards I see are the new SDHC class 2/6 sd2.0
I was under the impression that those won't work well/at all in the uni because it only supports sd1.1
SDHC will not work. However there are 4GB SD cards, probally the wrong side of the world for you, but here is where I bought my 4GB card.
or is 2gb the max mini sd card you can use?
No SDHC, sorry
SDHC doesn't work in the Wizard.
4GB is the max, but they are hard to find.
I have one 4GB card and one 2GB, neither is SDHC.
Hello,
i use Sandisk 8GB class2 memory card on my Tattoo. It is a nightmare. I got serveral error messages like "SD card damaged, need to format, cannot save photo's etc." I have formatted the card but without any luck.....! Can somebody advise what card or classes are compatible with the HTC Tattoo?
Thanks a lot,
Mark
Have same problem with sandisk 4gb tried almost everything but no luck
I've got a Sandisk Mobile Ultra 8Gb Class 2.
Had it in my Tattoo for six months and its been perfect, never a fault.

As the title implies: Has anybody tried sd cards beyond 128gb on this phone and did it work?
bump
Since the question hasn't been answered yet...
and maybe nobody try to use beyond the 64Gb nor the 128Gb (yet).. I use only 16Gb of external memory in this MiA1
I've tried it, SDXC card from SanDisk. Works just fine.
I use 200 gb Sandisk (fat32 formatted) memory card, works well.
