Guest mmmaiki Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I have read before that the Shadow, like the Wing, supports microSDHC cards, which now come in 4GB, 6GB, and 8GB cards (the latter just came out, not yet widely available). One of the reasons (among a few others) I thought of upgrading from my MDA to the Shadow is the SDHC support. I like to use my phone as my MP3 player, and for that purpose, the more storage the better. I planned to buy one of the new 8GB cards for it. I was just surprised to read the following at the HTC web site: http://www.htcwiki.com/page/T-Mobile+Shadow Under the rubric "Expansion", it says "microSD up to 4GB, no SDHC". What?? No SDHC?? I was under the impression that the Shadow does support SDHC! And--since the upper limit of regular SD cards is 2GB, any 4GB card is by definition SDHC! I read a post somewhere (perhaps on this forum) from someone who successfully uses a 6GB microSDHC card in his Shadow. One would assume then, that the Shadow supports SDHC. Why then, would the manufacturer state that it doesn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I've used a 4GB SDHC in it no problem? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tissle Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Using a 4GB microSDHC card right now. No probs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mmmaiki Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Anyone tried the 8GB SDHC card in the Shadow yet? I have heard that Verizon Wireless stores have them in stock. Some online retailers list them, but many list "out of stock", and others aren't very clear about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
