Guest Simon Desser Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 I know we're told that our Smartphones will work with 1GB SD cards, but has anyone ACTUALLY used one :?: I've found a place locally who has them in stock, but they won't take it back if it doesn't work :? EDIT - Just got one - it works :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob.P Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Will they let you demo one, like take your phone in and pop a card in to see if it is recognised and then check it through SmartExplorer or something. If they are not too happy about it you could always convince them that you would then recommend on the site or something, plus they'd be one of the first retail outlets that would be able to confirm the compatibility with the E200, play on the Marketing opportunity they could get out of it, if they don't agree with that they deserve to fail in their business.

Guest awarner [MVP] Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 :D only 1GB and not 3GB ;) Seriously the only problem is if the card is dual layer which the E200 cannot handle. Do you know what make it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zimbu Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 If you ask them if it will work with your phone, and they say yes, you will have the right to take it back as it does not 'fulfil the purpose it was designed for'. Trading standards that. If it doesn't work and they refuse to refund you when you take it back, hock it on E-bay :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Disco Stu Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 What price are they asking ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon Desser Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 OK, I just got one, and it works 8) It's a SanDisk 1.0GB SD card, and it was £157.44 + VAT My E200 can now be a "serious" mp3 player :D (as long as I'm never far from a mains socket :? ) As you can see on this screenshot, almost a thousand meg of free space 8)1Gb card in E200.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest A.Hughes Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Wow!!!!!!!!!! lot of dosh but the possibilities,,,,you could get 7 albums or more in mp3 and still have over 300 meg to play around with.......off to snoop for deals,,,,,were there is one there is always another!!!!!!!!!!!!111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Disco Stu Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 £185 incl.VAT then. That's less than twice what I paid for 512mb so that's a very good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Great news. But Motorola's decision to go with the mini-sd is going to make sure I don't get a bigger sd card anytime soon. Hope mini-sd is all it's cracked up to be. On a side point, I was talking to a couple of mates recently who've both got P900s. The first one I spoke to claimed there was no size limitation with the memory sticks the P900 can take ( :roll: ). The second was more realistic although when I mentioned I was thinking of getting a 512meg sd he says thats crazy and how could I possibly use it all! Sounds like someone doesn't understand the capabilities of a true Smartphone! :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coucou Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 On the other hand it could be that he doesn't need that much space because Symbian programs are much smaller than microsoft programs! Although for MP3's and stuff they'd be the same, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â :twisted: Your mates are wrong I'm afraid, the biggest downside to the P900, is that it will only take cards up to 128Mb :roll: They make larger cards than that, but they are Memory Stick Duo PRO and the P900 doesn't support them :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Thought as much but now I can explain it to him. Cheers Simon. I understand what you're saying Coucou, but I was talking to a mate using Pocket Scumm (or the Symbian equivalent) on his P900 (he was playing Monkey Island vga disk version at 4meg) and he was shocked when he heard the Beneath A Steel Sky CD Rom game I'm playing at the moment took up 70meg storage. No way would 128meg be enough even if JUST for mp3s, videos, and files/roms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maverick Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Erm... The SD card is more expensive than my second hand E200 !! Simon.. For god's sake, put some sticky tape over the slot !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Simon Desser Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 What the largest mini SD card available? Looks like it's a backwards step in terms of size :? Expansys have only got 64mb listed as "available for pre-order" http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=110319 and a foreign site mentions 128mb http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=e...-8%26oe%3DUTF-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idavid Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 What the largest mini SD card available? sandisk mention them going upto 256, but i havent heard of any higher.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pagemakers Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Hmm. I wonder why the MPX100 uses such a card? They must have a good reason..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idavid Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 apparently its to save space... odd how its the same volume as the spv though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest idavid Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 yeah, spose so, but i reckon every person, if asked, would rather have the exra ten cubed millimetres extra size than have to shell out to replace their sd cards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xavier Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 actually the p900 comment is just plain wrong... both devices can use duo, at up to 256mb, which is actually two 128mb devices, swapped between with a small switch...

Posted from my SmartPhone! Ok, now I'm getting really confused. I've heard from lots of people (one of whom was a P800 owner) that it can't handle above 128meg memory card. Pagemakers, you had a P900 didn't you? Or anyone else? What's the maximum size of memory card that can be taken by the P900? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
