how much memory can 5600 take?

[Guest grumpy_old_technobyte]

Who's had luck w/ 512Mb or 1Gb cards? Just curious to know. Id like to get a huge load of memory on the Audiov but Ive heard about the C500 leaking mem.

I'm using the Audiovox SMT 5600 with a 512 card. No problems what so ever. Also had the audiovox flashed with the orange rom for a while with the 512 and had no problems either.

I have yet to hear of a Typhoon owner who has tried a 1 gig card. I'm curious to know myself.

Ive heard about the C500 leaking mem.

Leaking memory?

The phone should be able to handle 1gb+ without a problem.

Leaking memory?.

that is/was due to a program not working correctly not the size of the mini sd card, i can also confirm that a 512 card works fine even though it is more like 480mb but that is not a phone issue, just annoying unit conversions.

HTC products have been known to somehow leak unused memory, meaning the memory is still there but the phones resources hide it. Pwhooftman2 posted a topic of his C500 leaking mem. and I was to buy an SPV E200(really known for mem. loss) until I found out the 5600 wasnt going to be around for long. Placed order for 1Gb mini card, hope for the best!

I've never seen or heard this before :? certainly never encountered it on any phone I have owned.

EDIT

Ahh I remember that post

The memory would certainly not be leaked but used in a process or

some form of temporary file, as task manager did not resolve the problem.

As far as I've always understood it, the SPV C500 is technically able to support at least 2GB memory-cards. Even though these do not exist yet.

can you provide a link that shows where you foubd out this? 2gb seems a very stange amount considering the way mermeory works, if anythying i would have thought 8gb would be the next natuarl progression in limit of storage.

Why's that nightmare?

1Mb, 2Mb, 4Mb, 8Mb, 16Mb, 32Mb, 64Mb, 128Mb, 256Mb, 512Mb, 1Gb, 2Gb...

Seems a very straightfoward progression to me :? What way does memory work that makes the natural progression jump from 1Gb to 8Gb, missing out 2 & 4Gb?

That is simply doubling memory, you are correct in that 2gb will be the next card out after 1gb. What i was getting at is the way the memory is managed is the same all the way up to 8gb, above that and the standards change and therefor if you phone can take 1gb it will probly take 2,4 and 8gb but i dought that current phones have been designed for future compatibility beyond that(after all phone companies want us buying the latest equipment :lol: )
