Guest Vector Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Getting my C500 sometime soon and i was wondering how much faster transfering files to the SD Card is when it is still in the phone? As it will get a tad annoying having to turn the phone off to put the card in a card reader... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xenzo1990 Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Ye, I agree, it would also weaken the battery thingy clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cyrilthefish Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 unless it works the same as my E100, where you can remove the battery without switching the phone off as long as you keep the battery charger plugged in :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon Desser Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 unless it works the same as my E100, where you can remove the battery without switching the phone off as long as you keep the battery charger plugged in :wink: I was really hoping that would be the case, as all 3 previous versions of SPV allowed you to remove the battery whilst it's on charge, but unfortunately, the C500 is different :cry: So no way of "hot swapping" mini sd cards :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest t3dluke Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Yea, thats one serious gripe I have with the C500 design. But since its interface is USB not serial it should be much quicker. I guess they had to do it to make the phone smaller, but why not use standard SD instead since its already under the battery? Things must be really crammed in on that phones PCB!

Guest legalbeagle Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 It took me about 12 seconds to transfer a 2.4mb movie clip. So about 5 seconds per meg. It seems very fast compared to the Canary. Certainly Media Player whips through transfer from cds (the only hold up is the conversion of the files).

Guest Vector Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 hmm, that's another thing, Anyone using the Windows Media Player 10 beta, does it recognise the storage card in the phone, cos with E200 it only recognises the phone's memory...

Guest tik Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 so the transfer time will be about 5min for an album's worth of mp3s...hmm...might have to get me a reader/writer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest legalbeagle Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 if I am transferring to the phone's memory or to storage, I normally compress tracks to smallest size - acceptable if you are not an audiophile (and if you are you ought to buy an iPod to store 192khz music), and albums are normally no more than 10-12 mb. Which is less than a minute's transfer time. It does take some time for the computer to convert the file, but this would be the same regardless of transfer times. If you are at work, all this can conveniently be done in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the version 10 beta I'm using it recognises the C500, storage and storage card fine. Transfer speed is much higher then my old phone as well.
