I guess I shouldn't generalize. Older blackberries might not be compatable. My mother and sister just bought a Curve, and it works great with those.

No hardware upgrade for the e200v1 is needed to read these, only a software upgrade (ie. Rockbox).

Unfortunately, however, to actually get your music onto these guys, you'll need to get a separate USB adapter to plug into your computer. Of course, you could just transfer to the internal storage and then use Rockbox's copy&paste file management to move the files to the microSDHC card, but that'd take ages.

If only Rockbox's USB file transfer capability was considered safe enough to be enabled in the builds... Then they wouldn't be relying on the stock firmware to handle syncing.

READ YOUR MANUALS !!!

I second this point, almost everone here who is asking "will this work in my device" you need to check you manual/online if you device is sdhc (some things call it SD 2.0) Almost all of you answers is depends on when you got your device and what model it is.

The Wii can not read this card.
For NDS flash cards only the very newest card release from each of the developers is sdhc compatable

Dont forget to put this card into your computer the card reader has to be SDHC compatible also Deal Extreme.com has one for pretty cheap

Had to go with 3 of them. You can't beat the price and who cares if its a no name brand. Odds are they are made in the same place as the competitor.

in for 3

Yep... The enV 2 will take up to 8 GB's... :-)

I bought a few of the 2 gig last time, same brand. Never had any issues, and just last night put some songs onto it and transferred them to my cellphone for ring tones. Alltel + Razr + MicroSD card = unlimited free ringtones

Im in for 9, My local Big lots has them for 8 dollars each at inly 1 gig. They were sandisk. This is a great deal for me. 4 kids with sansas, wii's all kids of junk they can certianly use these in plus my stepsons phone takes this card also. Thanks W00T!

Wooted :D

Bought a 2gb PNY Micro SD from Best Buy a few weeks back, but I'm willing to take the dive for double the space :D

Wow. I had no idea that my sarcastic post would create an international incident. Perhaps I will rephrase my post:

My, my a 4GB micro sd card for the low price of $6? I'm in for one! However, what will I do with my existing 2GB model that I no longer have use for. Maybe I can give it to one of my siblings or to a friend, but I certainly will not be just throwing away a working piece of technology into the trash can.

I by no means have "5 ipods up the wazoo" that you speak of. I work at a restaurant and go to college. Yeah, I must be rich.

Anyway, now I can finally put a few movies onto my phone, yay!

It's not the size that makes it standard SD or SDHC, it's the actual circuitry. [But, ALL cards LARGER THAN 4GB are SDHC; 4GB comes in both types, and there MAY be 2GB SDHC's but I'm not sure.]

Odd, I could've sworn that all 4GB cards in the *SD form factor were SDHC.

Just from a little Wikipedia browsing, it looks like full-size SD (non-HC) can be 4GB, but microSD (non-HC) can only have <=2GB

sdcard.org, which Wikipedia cites, confirms that microSD (non-HC) has a maximum of 2GB.

The page for full-sized SD (non-HC) cards on the same site says that they too have a capacity of "up to 2 GB".

Hmmmm.

I'm in for 2. One for my blackberry 8120, one for my roomie's LG-something.

Even if it doesn't work for one of us, the adapters sell for double this by themselves.

if you just want one,get it from here http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=207498748

7.99 with free shipping....you have to mess with a rebate though

http://www.wootsforlinux.com/2008/10/16/cube-memory-4gb-micro-sd-with-adapter/

Works with linux with kernels newer than 2.6.19.

Awesome cheap memory! I got the two 2gig deals a bit back and loved being able to have a few good microSDs with cheap adapters for some real versatility. I currently have storage solutions for my psp, wii, and my camera using only 2 adapters. I don't know about this cube adapter but this is definitely worth the money just to get some 4gig storage.

how do you know for sure that this is readyboost compatible?

Padded envelope, maybe. Letter mail is sorted by machines that expect everything in the envelope to be very flexible. Anything hard inside causes the envelope to rip open and scatter the contents into the sorting machine, it can also jam the machine damaging other mail in the process. Its why they ask you not to send coins and such through the mail. (I work on the letter sorting machines.)

Servers getting pounded. Can't tell if my order for 2 is going to get through or not?

The description says that this comes with a "jewel case." Curious to know if anyone knows what that looks like.

It's complicated. Technically, the 4GB "non-SDHC" cards are "non-compliant".

For a while, the cards were maxed out at 2GB, and there was no SDHC to take its place. So, the card vendors started making 4GB cards that "bent the rules", extending the bitfield that was used to extend them to 1GB and 2GB. In practice, it worked great! Just about every device that could use regular SD cards could use these 4GB SD cards without firmware change. The same math was used to compute the card size, and the same protocol was used to talk to the card.

When SDHC was released (SD 2.0 spec), the vendors had a problem. The SDHC cards didn't work in anything at all. The cards were out long before the SDHC readers and devices were, so they were piling up at the "Returns" counter because nothing would detect them.

The 4GB SD cards, however, were selling like hotcakes.

Eventually, the SD Card Association clamped down on the 4GB SD card vendors and warned them that they were violating agreements/licensing/logo/branding, and had better stop. Further, they went after the host controller vendors (card readers, cameras) and warned them that to be fully spec-compliant, they had to REFUSE to work with the 4GB SD cards.

This took some time, since it wasn't really a win for the consumer, but eventually SDHC won out, and now just about every 4GB card you can find is truely SDHC (SD 2.0). The old 4GB evil SD cards are relics, and I haven't seen one in retail for many months. The trick only worked at 4GB, though, so the 6GB+ cards are all SDHC for sure.

Probably more than you wanted to know...

jeeze.. again.... the things you learn on a forum llo.. its great to see that sometimes ppl are better than just mindless babbling like what i am doing right now!

In for 3 baby, much better than that 512 mb they give you with the new sidekick

in for 2, i can use these in my Micro SDHC to MS Pro Duo adapters (you can get them for $1 a pop on ebay). PERFECT for my PSP, WAY cheaper than getting straight up MS Pro Duo's

Going for two. Had to take the 2gb microSD out of my Sansa (Rockboxed, natch) to use in my phone, so I've been waiting for a deal to show up. Was hoping for an 8gb card, but I suppose this will do. I can use them in my DSLR, too. But now I've got three 1gb cards with nowhere to go..

Crab wrote:I'm old, so humor me, but what is Rockbox? Is it freeware? Any link?

Also, I have a respiffied e250 (or whatever the 2gb Sansa is that Woot sells). How do I install Rockbox on it?

Everything you want is at http://www.rockbox.org . Rockbox on the sansa is cool!

nice in for 2

Heh, I only ever used one out of the three 2GB microSD cards that I got the last time. Sorry Woot, this is a good deal but microSD is kind of pleasantly upbeat :P

Give me a non-respiffied seagate drive for cheap and we'll talk!

ok......what if i dont have a manual to check.....anyone know if i can use it on the regular olllllle blackberry pearl???? its fairly new but its not a new model. thanks!

llo, i got sleepy and i work all day tomorrow. i'll try one out........its only 10 bucks and a jr. bacon cheeseburger
