Sandisk, Panasonic or ....?
I recommend Transend 150x (fast) 4gb for about £55
What is the max sd size I can put on my Jamin? Is it 4G the max size?
In theory there is not a maximum size, but until you buy a particular brand and try it, you never fully know...

Ha, I have the same and I think it's pretty good too. Don't hesitate to buy a 4GB card - the space is never enough
4gb microSD or SD
Now I use Transcend 1Gb MMCmobile and I decide to buy card with more space.
Which one 4Gb card are complitable with Qtek S200 - microSD or SD?
I want microSD because of microSD is complitable with lastest Nokia and Benq-Siemens mobile phones so it's more universal.
So, which 4Gb microSD with adapter is fully complitable with Qtek S200? Anybody test it? Or better to buy standard (full phisical size) SD?
SD is the right choice for the Prophet, but if you intend to change your phone/PPC soon you are better off with a microSD.
I myself had a 4GB SD for my Prophet but I swapped it for a Herald/P4350. Nice device but it uses microSD. That sucks
microSD so far is only available as 2GB max. If you need 4GB of space take a SD-Card if you can live with 2GB than definitly go for microSD.
It usually comes with an adapter to be used as a SD-Card.
btw 4GB is the maximum size for the Prophet.
I am always wondering about this because I use a Dopod 818 pro, and the manufacturer's website says it supports up to 1GB SD Card. So it can support a 4GB on that model? Can any verify this for me, thanks!

Yes, 4GB SD-Card can be used by Prophet devices. I for myself used it for the last ten months without a problem. anything above 4GB I cannot guaranty. I'm not sure about SDHC-Cards if they are working in those devices.
Thanks Kelvin for your info. I will try to buy a standard 4GB SD card then. One more question, do you think the speed rating of the SD card has any effect on the performance? Would getting a 150x card be better?

I checked my old SD card and it was a 133x Speed. I was pleased with it. I'm not sure if the 150x performes better/faster on the Prophet, actually not even sure about the Prophet SD slot read/write performance. But in general it won't hurt going for the 150x if the price doesn't differ much from a 133x. SO GO FOR THE 150x
Thanks for your answer. Will buy it at the weekend!
It would be faster, But not on the prophet
The prophet can't use the speed since it cannot write data on a memory card so fast, Actually, Today the only speed limit is the device itself, The cards are allways getting faster and faster and faster and...........
Hello again!
I have choise between two 4Gb cards for my Prophet:
1. Transcend 4Gb Secure Digital card [MLC, 30x] (43$)
or
2. Transcend 4Gb mini Secure Digital card SDHC miniSD (43$)
or
3. Transcend 4Gb Secure Digital card 150x (50$)
Which of them is the best for Prophet (Qtek S200)?
My choise - 2nd or 3rd card (prefer 2nd because more universal) but I would like to read people's opinion. Can i feel real difference between this cards onn Prophet?

Not sure if Prophet can cope with SDHC technology, probably not.
So, 4GB SD Card will recognize in my Dopod 818 Pro with still original WM5 shipped ROM?
I tried a 4gb SDHC card with my prophet today, it didn't work. I wonder if there's a patch for sdhc support.
Some info:
SD vs. SDHC
The original SD card format is limited to 2 GB of storage. That's why the SD Card Association developed the SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) format, which has the potential for much higher capacities.
Although standard SD and SDHC cards look identical in size and shape, only SDHC-compatible products will be able to accept cards using the new format. This is because the original SD format uses a "Byte Addressing" scheme, while the new format adopts a "Sector Addressing" scheme.
my question:
Is universal compatible withc sdhc ?
What size supports, witch cards are working ?
more info
The fates of Secure Digital (SD) memory cards and handhelds have been linked for years.
Obviously, there is no way to put a floppy drive or CD drive in a handheld, so companies were forced to turn to smaller formats.
SD cards were an obvious solution. They are about the size of a postage stamp, while still capable of storing megabytes of data.
Over the years, these cards have steadily increased in capacity while at the same time dropping in price.
With a bit of research, it's now possible to pick up a 2 GB card for less than a 16 MB one used to sell for.
But recently the SD format has run into a bit of a snag. This has forced a change that might -- or might not -- be significant. It all depends on the device you are using.
FAT16 vs. FAT32
The original SD cards use a format called FAT16. This is a system that is only capable of dealing with 2 GB of data.
Clearly, this was workable several years ago, when an SD card physically capable of storing that much data was barely on the horizon. But it is now outdated.
That's why the SD Card Association (SDA) has put together the specifications for a new, high-capacity SD memory card.
This is called the SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) format, and uses the FAT32 format. In its present incarnation, SDHC has a maximum capacity of 32 GB.
Aside from formatting, there are no hardware differences between SD and SDHC cards.
Past vs. Future
As many people are aware, there are already SD cards on the market that exceed the 2 GB limit, and these people are almost certainly wondering about the need for the new SDHC format.
These people should know that these cards are formatted with FAT32, not FAT16, which means that they aren't true SD cards.
In many cases, this doesn't matter, as some companies have started adding FAT32 support to their products with SD slots. But not all of them.
This is why the SDA felt the need to come up with a new name for this new format. It is supposed to ensure than anyone who buys an SD card can be confident it will work in their SD-enabled device.
Other New SDHC Features
SDHC cards are also broken up into classes based on their minimum sustained data transfer speed.
A Class 2 card can handle 2 MB/sec., a Class 4 card can handle 4 MB/sec., a Class 6 card can handle 6 MB/sec, and so on.
This allows consumers to be sure they are buying cards that meet their needs.
Other Sub-Specifications
The new SDHC specification also offers three other SD sub-specifications: SD-Audio, SD-Video, and SD-Binding.
All of these include Digital Rights Management (DRM) functions, allowing them to carry various types of files with DRM protection.
For example, SD-Binding allows wireless carriers to bind files that have been downloaded to a specific phone, and prevent unauthorized copying to other devices or computers.

well if the only difference is fat16/fat32 they should work as Universals support fat32 (my 2gb card is formatted fat32)

4GB SD Cards
Hi,
just for information, I'm running a 4GB SD 150x card which my Universal recognises, shows correctly in the 'storage card' tab of the memory app. I use it for music and mapping and have no issues, yet!

Format with FAT16
If FAT is the only problem here, still there's a solution
1- Plug your SD into a card reader (or you can use wm_Storage or USB-HDD applications)
2- Go to PC --> Device Manager --> Disk Management, select your SD and try to re-partition it to 2GB based partitions with FAT16 as file system.
3- return it back to your device and report the result.

I didn't try it, but I think it will work.

Anyone has a lower capacity microSD card working with the Universal through a SD-to-microSD adapter?
Dose it realy work?
I have Scan Disck Ultra II 4Gb.
AQnd unbranded 2Gb micro sd to Sd, works fine.
RE
So, there's a possibility that the 8GB microSD card might work provided that the Universal recognizes it
I'm sure it won't work ...
Hi folks, you should read before posting:
"With a read speed of 16Mbps and a write speed of 6Mbps, Samsung's 8GB microSD card well exceeds the Speed Class 4 SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity)"
As far as the Uni does not support SDHC, this one will not work (neither other SD-Cards with SDHC will, no matter of size or capacity).
Best regards,
tsfnet
Yep ... I think the maximum size allowed for the Universal is 4Go !!
Hey..
can any one pls tell me that a 4Gb microSD will work in an orbit. if so which type should I get.. SDHC or something like that I think.
SANDISK have a new SDHC 4Go memory card but she is not compatible with the Artemis, only with Touch and one other, i don't remind...
Use search!!!

Hi!
I have a question about the memory card for my HTC Touch Elf (128/64). Does it handle memory cards larger than 2GB? I would like to purchase a memory card with minimum capacity of 4GB or even 8GB. Will this card will function normally?
Sorry for my English but I use translator.
I've been using an 8GB card on my Elf 0100 for a couple of years.
yes it will...coz m using 4gb...with it
