SD cards - How big, How many?

[Guest Jiff Lemon]

Just in the process of getting some SD for my MPX200 and wondered what everyone was using?

Was toying with the idea of a 512mb, put wondered if I'd be better with 2 x 256, or even 4 x 128?

Noticed a few people are putting DiVx's on the phones - what sort of space are they taking up?

Welcome to the site :)

Divx movies will take around 80MB depending on length of film and

the encoding etc.

As for cards I'm on a 64MB at the moment but also use a 32MB and a

128MB when it's not in my Axim.

I've just ordered a 512 but unless you want to carry around loads of MP3s and/or films it's probably a bit OTT.

Given that you'll be loading your games and apps onto the card (with short-cuts on the phone) I don't quite see how multiple cards will work in practice.

The price of 512s (at least from e-buyer / buzzlghtyrby) is pretty good right now :)

1 x 256 Which I always use

1 x 128 With only wma I carry in my wallet

1 x 64 That came free with my Dad's camera (never use)

1 x 8 Came with phone (never use)

1 x 256 (in the post)

1 x 128 not enough really, you can soon fill it. Will probably live in my wallet when i get my other one

1 x 16 came with mpx200 dont use

1 x 8 came with spv, dont use either

using 256 card, has got a few simpsons and a few southpark episodes, all u need really :):D:D

[Guest daviesimpson]

16MB is enough for basic programs etc. but if u start loading up lots of pics, midi, wave & mp3 files then the more the better.

I have a 128mmc card. SD cards have the lock function which eats 100k from the card & they cost a few quid more.

The MPx200 can take a massive 1GB card but the cost will burn a hole in your wallet.
