It seems I just fried parts of my 2GB miniSD I got about a year ago from ebay for about £30ish which was pretty cheap at the time. However it was slow as hell, and in low temperatures (about -25C) ran so slowly it was close to useless.
I dont like the idea of going for a 4GB as there does seem to be a large element in luck if these will work - but I guess (correct me if i am wrong) that there will soon be a ROM accommodating the newer format miniSDs. (Ahem, Mr Faria?)
However - until then I am still in need of a new card and sticking to a reliable old format at 2GB seems to make most sense - but with greater speed than my decomposing cheapo.
The one that looked best initially was the 2GB Utlra II from Sandisk, due to its claimed good transfer rates (10 and 9 meg/s IIRC) - however, I noticed...
http://www.mymemory.co.uk/search
... who I have had loads of good kit from previously, do their own with 20/9 rates and for £10.99 with a 6% discount via www.quidco.co.uk and the tax does not go to Tony Bliars lot, as they are off shore (although get reduced tax for > £18 - so you now can see the reasons for their price structure).
Their postage is £4 but I am due a few other things too, including USB memory pens that work as media in my car radio, and a 4GB Sandisk Titanium U3 as i filled the 1GB one from christmas in no time, and they make writing CDs redundant, so is likely to cancel out with the quidco discount.
Has anyone any suggestions for fast RELIABLE cards - preferably branded as I guess they would be more likely to stick with the same factory.
I look like a Sandisk fan - having mentioned their kit twice - but my first phone with a memory card back in 2001 went through three of their cards, before a cheapo lasted until the phones features were too old to keep using it (but it still works - a SL45).
So any suggestions and thinks in advance?
htc have said that the hardware in most (if not all) of their phones is limited to slower read/write speed cards. ie the card may work in your pc, but the htc hardware is 'not good enough' to read it. the thread is on this forum somewhere...
try this thread
there are no branded (sandisk/kingston etc) cards

Will the Kaiser support SDHC? Anyone has already tried it?
**BuMp**
It appears that Kaiser does support this from the specs given by the online retailers that are now starting to form a crowd (with the release very near now).... But as most of us are still waiting for this wonder-machine, and not lucky enough to play around with a pre-prod unit, i'll have to ask it again to the lucky one....:
Does TyTN II support MicroSDHC cards or not ? Please enlight us...current owners of a Kaiser... 2Gb just isn't big enough anymore for a poweruser...
Ow....and by the way: i've already pre-ordered one from our distributor in NL: Dangaard Telecom (www.dangaard.nl), and they said it's due to arrive within 3 weeks or so (first half of september)...
Hi
Paul over at www.modaco.com has used an SDHC card in a pre-production Kaiser and it works with no problems.
Regards
Phil
i think its sad that its microSD, it should be mini, why couldnt they fit that? seriously we would all be running around with cheap 4-8gb with mini :/
microSD 4-8gb will cost an arm and a leg
I bought 2 4GB microSDHCs off eBay a couple weeks back -- only $60 each. 4GB miniSDHCs seem to run in the $50 range. Also, remember that 6 & 8GB microSDHCs are on the way. In fact at least one site is pre-selling the 6GB cards for $78 and are expecting to receive them tomorrow.
i'm super excited to be able to get an 8GB microSD card for this bad boy (when i get it). Just another reason to upgarde
Im currently using a 4gb micro sdhc in the Kaiser and it works great.
Me too using a 4gb micro sdhc in the Kaiser and it works great !!!!!
According to PDAEssential review of Kaiser it does officially support MicroSDHC cards...
But i'm not sure where are this guys getting their information from...

I am pretty sure that I will end up buying a 8GB card.
Let's see:
~ 1.5GB for GPS maps
~ 100MB for Dictionaries and References
~ 200-300MB for Applications and Games
~ 100MB for Family/Friends pictures and slideshows
~ 3.0GB for Music (about 600 songs)
~ 3.0GB for Movies/Videos (probably 3-4 all time favorite movies and a few music/fun videos)
That's approx. 8.0GB! I'm pretty sure my guesses are off but any free space is always good!
I am planning on getting a new Head Unit for my car that supports bluetooth streaming. That way I am set. I will have a GPS and a mp3 player wherever I take my phone.
I recommend the Sony BT headunits -- the MEX-5000BT if you need preouts, the 2500 if you don't. I've been using the 5000 with my Wizard since January. The phone & A2DP modes work better than any headset I've ever used.

Yes, I can confirm this, however I was using a Magician and using now a Trinity with WM6. Works very well.
Is there any way in which we can add a MicroSD card slot to the diamond?

I'm only specululating, but by desoldering the internal memory chip on the mainboard and resoldering to a micro-sd cardslot, it could be possible perhaps. I would bet, the interface is the same and the chip on the motherboard is nothing else, but an unhoused, normal micro-sd card - don't know it for sure of course.
But if possible at all, handling the tiny contacts of smd-chips is only possible with special equipement, a lot of experience and the risk of destroying the mainboard.
What about attaching microSD reader through extUSB?

That is possible. Discussed in another thread here.
So far, can only be used for flashing ROM, using an external card reader.
Diamond is missing drivers for accessing the card in WM6.1.
just bin the diamond
go buy a pro....
did you not know this before you brought it
Micro-SD
I saw a cable which is basically like the computer's usb extension cable but only shorter. It was under the phones category and my guess is that it should work and not just for flashing the rom!
So I'm looking in ebay now to get one of those little suckers and try it to confirm if my theory is right or wrong!
Laters guys
Hi Guys
Let´s face it. HTC could have build this device with a Micro-SD.
They are just learning from Apple. upgrade it slowly. next year, they surrely release a "upgraded" version, with a 5M camera and a MicroSD card, more Ram...

First of all, they could not have build this device with a micro-sd slot without getting thicker. And as the most of us want a thin and small device they made all right IMHO.
And why the hell should they learn from Apple??? How many PPC's did Apple build???
Like I said, I think they made a very good job with the Diamond.
So far....
I want a diamond with microsd
The touch pro is too fat for me (size and money).

Adding an SD slot would have added about 1mm to the thickness. Hardly a great amount in the grand scheme of things. However, it might have drained the battery even further, so maybe that's why it was left out.

If you think your HTC HD7 is too short with his 8 GB memory, here is a detailed tutorial on how to give it a little boost to 32 GB ! Here is, step by step, how to do it. You can clic on photos to get them in high res...
WARNING : this tutorial needs you to open your smartphone completely, and may unvalidate your warranty. If you upgrade your HD7, you do it at your own risk !!
Read this tutorial entirely before begining anything.
!!! This memory change will completely erase the content of your phone. Backup it before !!
You will need the following tools :
- A HTC HD7 (yeah, easy...)
- A Sandisk MicroSD 32 GB Card : Warning !! Ony some references are compatible. Check the compatibility list at the end of this tutorial.
- A Torx screwdriver - Size : 0.4
- A little plastic card, like a fidelity card (little size)
- Tweezers
- A piece of paper
Remove the battery cover, the battery itself, and you SIM card :
Now, you need to remove the bottom cover. To do this, insert the plastic card inside, and pull upside gently. It will be a little hard, just do it quietly until it "clics". Do the same on the other side, and finish removing the cover :
Take the screwdriver. At minimum, you will need to remove the 3 screws marked by red arrows. Personaly, I remove the 3 screws marked by the green arrows too for more confort. One of the screws is hidden by a VOID sticker (which unvalidates the warranty if you remove it). Either you don't remove this sticker, the other black screws will scratched by the screwdriver, and you will lose warranty in all cases.
Now, pull the plastic framework upside with your finger, to get access to the MicroSD card reader :
The MicroSD card is protected by a "metallic" sticker. Unstick it, and tear it below the plastic framework. You cannot remove it completely :
If you don't want to be annoyed by this sticker, place your piece of paper on it. Now push the memory card in his reader with the tweezers : you will here a clic. Release, the card will be ejected :
Take the MicroSD card with the tweezers, and remove it :
There you are. Now insert your brand new memory card, and reassemble your phone following the previous steps.
Once your phone is reassembled, put your SIM card, the battery, and close the cover.
To turn it on, push the two volume buttons, and keep them pushed while pressing the Power button :
Keep the volume buttons pressed until you see this message :
Press the Down Volume button to confirm the Hard reset :
Press again the Down Volume button to restart the phone. Follow the Windows Phone configuration wizard, then reboot your phone again (just a simple reboot).
And "voilà" ! A HTC HD7 with full memory !!!
Updated on 28th April 2011 :
Compatible 32GB card :
- Sandisk SDSDQ-032G-J35 (Class 4 - Asian market)
- Sandisk SDSDQM-032G-B35 (Class 2 or Class 4)
Avoid these references :
- Sandisk SDSDQ-032G-E11M (Class 2 or 4)
Wow...although I don't really feel like doing this, its amazing.
If I ever run out of my "16GB" of space, ofcourse I'll probably be doing this.
But thanks for this..
How did you figure this out if I may ask?? Just snooping around ey!
I putting money on, that this voids your warranty.
Of course it does void it...maybe I should add "steel balls" in the necessary tools list ?
Good tutorial Pal. and Nice pictures too. Did you see any issues related to performance or accessing your media and games after you upgraded the MSD card?
Thanked you for this thread.
very good tutorial,thank you very much

Until now, I did not notice any performance issue. I am filling up the memory with photos (6500 !) and music (about 20 GB).
OK, HD7 charged with more than 6500 photos (2 GB), and about 20GB of music ! No problem, it rocks
I only noticed a longer boot time (about 1 or 2 minutes)

Just keep the 16gb card spare, put it back in if it needs to go back for warranty, simple.
I haven't filled up all 16gb of my HD7 yet but I am really, really tempted to do this. I can't accept my HD7 not having a 32gb capacity.
Very nice tutorial. Good step-by-step instructions.
Thank you!
Hey,
i already swapped my HD7 card for 32 Gb one long time ago. And it works great.
I have a question to all the people who swapped their cards too. Did anyone tried to use the old card from WP7 phone in other different WP7 phone.
I have my old 16 gb card from HD7 lying in the drawer doing nothing and now my friend bought HTC Trophy with only 8 gb of memory.
So i was wondering whether he can put my old HD7 card to his Trophy...???? Is it going to work..?
THX

What about Class 6 card? Are they compatible?
worth mentioning: you just need to remove the lower right screw closest to the sdcard (the one below the screw with "void" sticker), then slightly lift the cover up using the screw driver, then use a flat head to push the sdcard out/in, so you dont need to void the warranty
Hello,

I bought mine from this dealer : http://shop.ebay.fr/labayatxi/m.html
But it seems he does not have cards anymore. Maybe you should ask him if he can get new cards ? I bought it 50€, and it had been sent very quickly (I received it the day after my order).
Nice!!! =)
I have a 32Gb on my HD2... and i´ll keep it there. 16Gb on the HD7 its just fine.... for now!
Hi Everyone,
So I received my Note I ordered from a company in Vegas today. I think they imported it from Poland, it says samsung.pl on the box. Everywhere I have read indicates that the Note comes with a 2 gb micro SD card. Mine did not come with one preinstalled or anywhere in the box that I could find.
Anyone else in the same boat? Did yours come with the card? What country is yours from?
nope, no memory card in the box, just 16gb onboard storage.
no memory card in the box . ( UK )
Everywhere I've read so far says the Note comes with no bundled MicroSD card.
Anyways, why would you want a crappy free 2gb one anyways? I'd rather they not give me one as use my own 16gb class 10.
Mine was the polish model too.
Google samsung galaxy note "2 gb included" - someone probably included it in a press release and it spread like wildfire - then Samsung decided to not include it.
I'd want one because it's free. Better than nothing.
I'd probably end up buying a larger one anyway - was just curious if anyone received one with their phone.
I have two from different sources, no ext.SD card.
no memory card, enjoy the note
No way Jose for the SD Card

Giving the price of microsd card is cheap now. I suggest to get a 32Gb class 10. You won't regret it
