Sorry if this is a faq, but searches don't turn up anything.
I now have a Sony Ericsson K750i as well as an XDA IIs. I carry most of my MP3 music for the XDA on SD cards, but it would be nice to transfer a selection to the Memory Stick Pro Duo card in the K750i while on the road.
Is there an adapter I can use for this, which would be simplest, or (thoughts) both have infa red and both have bluetooth ... but how do I make it work. Thanks.
23 in 1 card reader
Paid £15 incl delivery from Far East on Ebay for a 23 in 1 card reader. It takes CF MD SD MMC SM MS & Memory Stick Pro. Also is a one to three port USB hub.
Just remembered £15 was for 2 units not 1.
Thanks. But I have a card reader. The problem is I need a PC to transfer the files from one card to another, don't I? But I want to do it on the road. Meanwhile have managed to make transfer using Bluetooth on the two phones. Not fast, but it works. Thanks and cheers. A

I'm just curious what all you 1GB SD card owners put on it when used with the XDA 1/2.
I ordered mine a few days ago for £94 inc delivery from NYC on eBay. It arrives tomorrow.
If I can't think of anything amazing I'm probably going to fill it up with MP3s, but these seems a bit of a waste of a 'Pocket PC'.
I've got a GPS unit and TomTom 3, so I've allocated 100mb for the UK map...
I've got a further 150ish mb of apps and games from my old SD card that I'll probably keep....
So that leaves 750mb...
But wait, I've still got the 250mb SD card it replaced, so I've still got 1GB to fill...
Suggestions please!
I've got:
1. Some games
2. Home videos made by XDA II Camera
3. Movies
4. TV Shows

I have on my card:
- TomTom D-A-CH (256MByte)
- Wikipedia, complete (!)
- several eBooks, including some law books
- from time to time a few DVD rips (from DVDs I bought!), to watch during a train ride for example
- a few nice pictures
- MP3, of course
But I find it actually quite useful to leave a few hundred meg free, so I can use the card to transport data from here to there if necessary

All that space makes you wish XDA2 had USB 2 thats for sure!!!
How is the experience with read/write speed on these 1GB SD cards??
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=52965#52965
I have some problems with my 256MB SD from Kingston in combination with TomTom3 (on SD: maps and 1 extra POI file activated makes TomTom3 freeze when the data-transfer rate gets behind to the needs of TomTom)

i seriously doubt that the xda2 could ever reach the usb2 speeds of 480Mbit
Will it work on the xda IIs?
It may. A user on another forum just reported succesfully using a Tanscend 4gb card in his XV6600 even though he was told it would only support 2gb...http://www.pdaphonehome.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=61612
Have tested with 2GB SData SD card myself, works fine. Didn't have 4gb but it should work as well.
The SX66 supported SD list was created back when the highest SD card was like 512meg or 1gig, that's why the supported lists are different
hi, thanks for the replies. i see it everything should be fine using a 4gb sd card.
due to the nature of the BA, and as far as i kno all other fairly recent PDAs they will support all current and future SD cards as they don't suffer the limited memory addressing of smaller less complex devices such as normal mobile phones like nokias and digital cameras
i've read somewhere the SD card standard will theoretically go up to 16gb, lets hope they arn't too far away, and that the BA will support it.
Still hoping some random company will develop and release an SDIO USB host though. Damn the BA not having Compact Flash.

Much cheaper, and from SanDisk...
1 GB SD which doubles as a USB thimbdrive w/o need for adapter. MSRP $134.99
Hi guys,
I'm thinking of upgrading my 512mb SD card to 2gb, but I'm not certain that the phone (Qtek 9090) will be able to work with such a large card.
Does anyone here have a 2gb card working? Any brands/models that are known to work or fail?
Thanks in advance for your help.
2gb SDCard...
Hi!
I'm currently using a 2gb SanDisk SD Card, everything works great. Oddly enough, I cannot find a card reader to connect to my PC that can read them!?!? I'm still using 2003SE and transfer movies and MP3's to the phone by using the painful multi-hour process of Exploring via ActiveSync. Uggh! This is fixed in ActiveSync 4.1 but ONLY if you are running WM5... Just having 2003SE and 4.1 will still be totally laggy for file copy.
Enjoy!
2gb SDCard...
Hi there, I also have a 2Gb Sandisk card in my XDAIIs, I also have a card reader which I purchased from PC World for £10.
Works a treat!!

Hi! Do you have a brand name or model number of the card reader you mentioned so I can search for it on the Internet? So far I've purchased 2 different readers and neither can speak "2gb" :shock: The one I can use for 1gb cards but not 2gb cards is Belkin F5U248 rev.2, so I know that one wont work!
Thanks in advance!
Does anyone know what speed the BA supports for its SD cards?
The transfer speed is limited by the SD card type
The transfer speed should be contained within the card specification sheet
As I understand it, the maximum transfer speed is 22.5MB per second
This is for a 133X SD card, so compare accordingly
thanks for the reply. I just wanted to make sure that there wasnt a limit on the SDIO bus on the BA.
I'm planning to buy a 2gb Sandisk, but i'm not too sure whether the ultra version will work, as the compatibility list on their website only shows the standard. So i might just get the standard one to be on the safe side.
I currently use 4Gb SD card! I had only hard time finding flash card reader for my PC, which can read such a big card
I believe PPC devices has no problem with big SD cards. At least my Mio 168 PPC with GPS (PPC 2003) understand 4G card too.
But I do not believe flash manufacturers X rating. I NEVER seen real speed more than 3 Mb/s on any type of device. My card have rating x133 (22.5Mb/s). And I have no idea on what device and how did they measure that speed?
From the 2g->4gb reports it sounds like sd card size is not so much an issue for the BA, more for the SD->USB adaptor.
I have the same awful USB activesync file transfer rates reported on this thread, despite running WM5, so it sounds like my current adaptor might need upgrading.
Anyway, thanks for helping out, and I now have a 2gb 133x SD on order for next week ;-)
The typical transfer rate is 2MBps
Quotes like 133X and 150X are NOT a multiple of this but the coefficient comparison between the read and write speed
As an example for a 2MB SD card
Uploading 2MB data takes 1 second
Reading data, for that same setup, takes 1 second
For the 133X the write speed is the same, but the read time is 0.4 seconds and for the 150X card it is 0.33 seconds
This also assumes the SD interface meets SDIO v1.01
If not then the 133X and 150X cards take the same time to read as the standard card
2gb Card Reader
Hi there ottGalaen,
My card reader is made by PC Line, I think it's PC World's own brand, the Model number on the back is PCL-CR400.
Here's a link to it...
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/st...null&sm=null&tm=null&sku=818835&category_oid=
If that doesn't work just go to www.pcworld.co.uk and search for PCL-CR400
I hope this helps
Kind regards
Terry

Yo, what type of SD card that you using now (Sandisk Ultra II) ?
Just so you guys know my 4GB SD card is a Transcend 150x.
I've upgraded to Bepe full cube and it's great but I just got a new 8 gb sdhc card which works well in the phone but not in the old sd adapter, i'm trying to load up near 2gb of maps over active sync which keeps dropping the connection ( did this before flashing ) , I thought I would try bluetooth ftp instead but it is no longer supported ?? any ideas
I'm using win Xp
I have just installed an 8 gb sdhc card.
It came with a usb adaptor, which works. It does not work with my old sd card adaptor
They didn't send the usb adapter with mine , plus it's a pain to have to remove it each time
What make is the card and where did you buy it?

Sandisk & Ebay, but like I said that's not the issue here I know I can get that sorted out
I was asking, as I recently bought an 8GB MicroSDHC card from eBay myself, but mine came with a small SanDisk USB adapter, which states on it 'MicroSDHC'.
I get the impression that the card requires a reader that supports SD2.0/SDHC for it to successfully read/write it.
I might be wrong
You are right, it makes sense that the old adapter won't work with the new model card, as for the ftp that's an issue with the rom similar to the mms problems people have been having
I was wondering what size if any came with the phone? The sprint agent said he gave her a "free" 16GB sd card because it didn't bring one.

Phone has 16gb of internal storage. You can use a memory card in addition but the phone does not come with one.

Weak, I thought it was coming with a 8MB at least.
Does it include earbuds?

Nope, no buds and no card
I am amazed at how little comes with phones nowadays considering what used to come with them. My PPC-6700 came with a Dock that let you plug the USB AC Charger in one port and another to connect to the PC. It also included the USB cable and several doggles / adapters and headphones. They also provided a full copy of Microsoft Outlook (it was a Windows Mobile Phone). Then I got the 6800 and it didn't have the dock and only had a trial of Outlook. The Touch Pro came with even less and then the Touch Pro 2 cane with even less but both of them came with headphones. It seems like the more they charge for the devices the less they actually give you in the box.
Meh. Most of the time the earbuds suck anyways. My skullcandies work just fine for me

Most people already have better headphones then they would have included. Apple started this trend with the iPods, putting less and less in the box, but being able to reduce the base price.
There's no need for Samsung to include an SD Card, they've included 16GB of onboard storage. The previous Epic had no included storage, so they included a 16GB SD Card.
I'm okay without the SD card and ear buds. I have my own, and I have my own SD cards too, and just purchased a Class 10 32GB card. I'm very happy with this phone so far.
The sprint salesman gave me the card out of my evo.
