Guest djhorza Posted June 25, 2006 Report Posted June 25, 2006 I ordered one for the holidays, I hope it works on the C500! heh, I used to have a c500, was only aware it would support 1gig. Might be worth checking out the manual.
Guest awarner (MVP) Posted June 25, 2006 Report Posted June 25, 2006 You will find most manuals state the largest available card at the time. It's a matter of trial and error, the same goes with compatability issues with different makes.
Guest PayableOnDeath Posted June 25, 2006 Report Posted June 25, 2006 My C500 just picked up my 2GB Sandisk miniSD so would think you should be ok with it
Guest RT87 Posted June 25, 2006 Report Posted June 25, 2006 I hope to god it does use all 2gb of it! Especially when I could have got a 1gb for half the price. <_
Guest Zahid Posted June 25, 2006 Report Posted June 25, 2006 Burn Media do the same one for even less. http://www.burn-media.co.uk/product.php?productid=929977
Guest MaxD Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 Hello all, I ordered my 2GB datawrite yesterady after viewing this link, it arrived this morning and is working and absolute treat. Thanks for the great link!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Guest sporkguy Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 Mine arrived this morning and works brilliantly in my Vario and SP5 :)
Guest djhorza Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 (edited) I got my card from the one I found this morning but been having a problem with the card. It does work, my XDA mini S does see all 2gb of the card but the card seems to be a little thicker, perhaps because of the label on it, which courses it to stick when I take it out.

Guest rikwebb Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 They tried to deliver mine today (not in) by interlink express. Card left that they will not try again, I will have to pick it up from the depot, a mere 25 miles away!!!! I may as well have drove to Brum and picked it up from BigPockets! Tried to phone Interlink Express but only open 9 - 6........ B*ll*cks!! By the time I add the cost of picking it up, it will not be a deal. BIGPOCKET stop using this crap delivery company. :) # Rik
Guest Zahid Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 Got mine today too. Seems to work ok on the C500.
Guest RiCoCheT Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 Got mine today, works a treat on my C600. Now to fill it up...
Guest thesufi Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 got my datawrite 2gb from svp yesterday - DIDN'T WORK! the c550 didn't like it and all my readers are having trouble writing to it. it's going back tomorrow.
Guest rikwebb Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 Well I have it - BUT It seems very slow - slower than the sandisk 1gb It is thicker than normal - which is no problem for the SPV c600, but is a little tight in the Vario When I pushed it in the adapter it bent the pins within the adapter !! Me thinks I will do some more speed tests, and if it is slower than stated, it can go back. Rik
Guest RT87 Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Got mine mid-week, tried it today. Appears to work great on my C500 :)

Guest Robert Hush Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Found the same product cheaper at diskdepot It's only [url=http://www.diskdepot.co.uk/acatalog/Flash_Disk.html]
Guest me075064 Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 Hi all, I got a 2GB Datawrite mini SD card from Big Pockets. It doesn't work in my vario but works phone in my friends SPV phone. Her 512 meg card works fine in my phone.... Does anyone have any ideas how to get it working in my phone. Cheers John m

My brother recently bought a Samsung camera that suprisingly wouldn't recognise anything over 512MB, perhaps you have the same problem?

Guest awarner (MVP) Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 When I had my 2GB from mobymemory I had to format it first as it did not work correctly in my Vario when I first put it in. One format later than it worked all ok. Also make sure you use a good card reader to format it, quite a few older readers can not see the card properly. The one built into my laptop did not like it but my moby usb2 miniSD card reader worked fine.
Guest thesufi Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 OK. i sent the non-functioning datawrite card back for a refund. in the meanwhile i bought a mobymemory 2GB card (complete with compatible reader) which is specifically advertised as working with the c550 http://www.mobymemory.com/proddetail.asp?p...BUNDLEBUY%5F001 after copying the contents of my old 1GB card to the new 2GB one everything initially seemed to work OK .. but, now when i try to open jpeg images off the card with file manager, the album app throws an error message "file format jpeg not supported" ???? i replace my old card and try to load the same file and everything is OK again. any ideas anybody?

Well, my Vario doesnt seem to recognise it, My memory reader does not recognise it. however my SPV c500 does. is it possible to format it on the C500? Edited July 5, 2006 by KrashedKid
Guest awarner (MVP) Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 Yes, use Task Manager from www.binarys.com
Guest KrashedKid Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 Yes, use Task Manager from www.binarys.com thanks, I managed to format it using sp taskmanager but it still isn't recognised by the vario. when I put the card in the vario lights up. but no card is found :) any ideas?
Guest KrashedKid Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 ill try switching roms, ill let you know if it works
