Biggest Micro Card?

Whats the biggest micro card this phone will support. Are 32gb / 64gb even made?
i ordered this 16gb one, if there are 32 or 64 i want to know too
Kingston Technology SDC2/16GB 16 GB microSDHC Class 2 Flash Card
At the moment the largest card is 16GB.
16g is the largest, but 32g is coming out soon. My guess is that they will be quite expensive and no word on speed. While the class (speed) is in write mode only, it does make a difference when using the camera or writing files to the card.
I got a Ridata 16gig Class 6 microsd three days ago and works great!

The largest Rhodium supports is 32GB.
SDHC specs out at 32GB max.
I think only a few companies make 16GB Class 6 cards. Transcend being one of them. I don't think you can get 32GB ones just as yet and no way you can get a Class 6 one anyway.

and i think before they release 32gb SDHC they'll go the SDXC way with 64 & 128gb model.
if you plan on getting a Transcend card for use with a GSM TP2, be careful. There have been reports of Transcend cards not working well with the TP2. I personally experienced it, when my Class 6 8GB card would randomly disappear from the phone, or when music would skip during playback. Switched to a Sandisk Class 2 8GB that came with my BB Storm, and haven't experienced a single problem.
And also, note that the Transcend card worked great in my BB Storm, BB Bold 9700, LG Incite and Samsung BJII before this. Nothing wrong with the card, just with the TP2.
16gb is the largest built. 32gb is the largest theoretical that sdhc supports. youll need sdxc for more than that. i wonder if rhodium will support this in the future. old htc devices (and samsung) that could only do regular sd that capped at 4gb could do sdhc with a rom/driver update. sdxc supports up to 2tb which will be interesting to see.
The 32g microsd is long over due. Every so often there will be a press release that the 32 will be release within the next month or so. The projected time frame will come and go. There was a PR stating that 64g was in the works.
if a 32gb microsd card is sold i will buy it. i have an 8gb and could get a 16gb surprisingly cheap but i wont buy a stop gap knowing a 32 might be out soon.
I just got my 16gb no name cheapie from hong kong micro sd card for my tp2 in the mail. I spent numerous hours setting it up with the programs I wanted on it music and such. I had used it for about an hour or so and all the sudden the phone went crazy.. somehow the card corrupted it self im guessing cause the phone no longer recognized it or anything on it.. I removed the card and put it in my card reader to my laptop nothing was on it but a mess of folders all with the name ".." I thought maybe I had done something wrong so I formatted it and tried again. same thing happened the next day. I now reverted back to my 8gb sandisk and havent had any problems with it.. I guess its a get what you pay for kinda deal. Maybe there is something I can do I would think flash memory is flash memory but I guess they have their diffrences. Just wanted to share my .02 on my experience I would like to get another 16gb because bigger is better but ill wait it out and see what is to come next.
Biggest MicroSD Card
Sandisk 64GB SDXC formatted Fat32 works.. recognised as 60871.23MB under Settings > System > Memory and by Total Commander File Manager.

WTF only a 2gb Card Included

I know they are dirt cheap now, but why in the world would Softbank decide to only include a 2gb card? Its practically insulting - especially being in Japan when one gets used to having access to almost anything.
Japanese:
microSDHC™カード(2GB同梱)
English: microSDHC™Card(2GB In package)

Maybe its just a typo? or they are not exactly sure how much, so they speculated 2GB

Not too likely. Its Japan. They will never write something official unless they are sure (99% of the time). Then again, its just like Softbank to try and make an extra buck or two by cutting corners. Im just happy Japan is finally getting a decent android phone - and lucky to have it coming to my carrier.
Funny thing is, docomo is releasing a 4" android device sometime too, funny that its only got 1.6 running tho.
It's down to the retailer which SD card they bundle, if they want to ship it with a 2GB card then they can.

Don't give Orange ideas!
Although knowing them they'll probably leave the SD card out completely!
a 4GB card in the one I got from CPW in the UK.
Yes, I thought CPW 4gb was stingey... I guess I should count myself lucky.
To be honest the CPW 4gb is a class 2 card anyway, which is a bit crap... so I put in the 8gb class 6 I already owned.
Anyone know what size T-Mobile are supplying? As others have said it doesn't really matter as I have an 8GB class 6 in my G1 just waiting to be swapped out on Tuesday (D-day for me).
2GB is fine, the memory cards of that size are peanuts and its better to have a memory card with the phone then non at all. I have a HTC desire and just ordered another one, i have not got any memory card with either
4Gb in T-mo, got mine yesterday
I suspect Orange will supply 4GB aswell like they did with my SE C905.
T-mobile supplied a 4GB card. The only problem is that it is Class 2. Doesn't matter at the moment but when the phone is eventually "rooted" a Class 6 or better card would be preferred.
Yeah they wont supply higher class cards with the phone, but I seen a 8GB transcend class 6 card for £15 on some sites so not too bad.

Memory card size in box..

Can someone confirm what size the memory card is in the box?
Sorry in advance for posting a frequently answered question. Just ordered a T mobile one today..
This depends on the provider.
Some people on forum said that they had 4GB in the box, but at least one person said that it was 2 GB, and HTC themselves say that it suppose to be 8GB, so lets take the average and say that it should come with 4GB.
The MicroSD card is a Sandisk Class 2 4GB card when ordered direct from T-Mobile. Or at least that's what I got.
I got mine from CPW and it was a 4GB Microsd card... but it was already inside the phone which did confuse me for a while when i was looking at the box contents.
The distributor can bundle which ever size card they want to, usually which ever they feel will make them the profit they want.
A got a 4GB Class 2 with my T-mobile version of the Desire.
If upgrading I would recommend you go for a Class 6 MicroSD card at least. I used one of these and it made a tremendous difference with my HTC Hero. That phone was routed of course and I had apps. stored to the microSD card. If you look around you can get a 8GB Class 6 for about £12.

What kind of memory card is included?

My Orange handset was delivered with 4gb pre-installed into the memory slot. MicroSD. Not sure of the class.

class 2 most probably
My T-mobile one was supplied with a SanDisk 4GB Class2.
My Vodafone Desire also came with a 4GB SanDisk Class 2. Promptly upgraded it to an 8GB SanDisk Class 4 - and increased the already impressive speed of the phone.
Same with my Orange branded one.
got mine today from orange and it came with 4gb

Wouldnt worry too much I had a 4gb Class 2 in my G2 and replaced with a 8gb Class 6 , didnt see any difference in speed.
If anyone's interested in one, in a week or so's time I should be able to offer a small number (~5/6) 16GB Class 6 cards at around £45-£50 ea.
I'm not sticking this in the Marketplace section yet as I haven't got them to sell yet.

8gb sdhc card or 8gb hc

i have question which card is better to keep for evo 4g.
samsung 8gb sdhc class 2 or Adata 8gb hc class 6?
thx
adata makes excellent quality memory modules of all types, it will obliterate the samsung class 2 in every possible way
ok cool thanks
Not only is Adata a reliable brand but if you look at the class, it's faster too. That's assuming you meant sdhc, not "hc". Make sure you read correctly. "hc" is not a type of card. Don't get scammed.
oh ok yes sdhc is that Adata card,
cuz i just bought new htc evo 4g and they give u 8gb samasung card so i was wondering which card is better,,
thank you
Is there a difference between the Samsung memory card that ships and a class 2 micro Sandisk 8 gb hc?

Yes there is, I've benchmarked both (2x 8GB Samsung from HTC, 1x 8GB Sandisk from HTC, 2x 8GB Sandisk not from HTC). They are both crap in terms of write speed (HTC bought the cheapest batch from both companies, the 8GB cards that you buy from retailers can reach 10-14mb/s write speed. Apparently certain batches of Sandisk 8GB class 2 have crazy write speeds), but Sandisk reads much much faster.
