Can the HTC Touch take 4GB MicroSDHC cards?
i heard that the newer ppc's should support it. I hope im right
anyone else know anything about this?
The specifications for the HTC Touch says it supports the standard "SD 2.0". This standard includes SDHC (Cards from 4-32gb), and have seen a few users say they are using a 4gb card in their touch (search will reveal who).
Here (DK) the only 4gb MicroSDHC card available is Class 2, so I wont be going for the 4gb (or 8gb for that matter) card until I can get atleast Class 4, preferably Class 6.
You can read more about SDHC in general on wikipedia.
Hi,i'm actually using 4gb microsd HC from SanDisk.
Everything work perfect without any problem.
Mine Touch have Italian software but i don't think different language firmware could have limitations about memory size....i hope
Bye.

you said that you have a 4Gb Card.
were did you buy it?
Tanks
Hi,from ebay the object number is :160135130187 but maybe now you'll find more than this model cause the demand is growning......and maybe the price will be lower.
8 gb sdhc actually used in a touch, anybody ?
has anybody actually used an 8 gb micro sdhc card in a touch yet?
i know there was some discussion about the availability of this size card, and that it was available for quite a few pounds(dollars for me), and i believe someone had purchased it, but never really heard of the results.
if someone has please post, and please let us know where it was purchased and for how much. also, if outside us whether you know if it can be delivered to the usa.
thanks in advance

Did you test the card? E.g. fill it up to over 2gb, like 2.5gb and then see if the phone writes on it etc. 'Cause the picture on Ebay appears different from the one that Verizon carries which should be the real one.
It is good that it works on the Touch, since I just ordered a Touch. I've tested my card, it works flawlessly on the TyTN and I filled it up to test.
Test done
Just end the fill up test on SDHC 4 gb,no problem it works
I've made some copy of 98mb files and also 2 copy of tomtom map file (about 518mb) now memory info report just 84.03 mb free and 3794.47 used of 3878.50 total space on microSd card.
Thank to Doni for suggest me the test.
Pls guys forgive my poor english.
Using sandisk hdsc 4gb card for a week now in my touch and works like a charm. Can't wait for the 8gb lol! bought on amazon. these cards are hard to locate.
Can also confirm that 4Gb Sandisk card works fine in Elf. For the UK guys you can get them here

You can get it here for 36quid inc postage http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Micro-SDHC
or if you want to use ebay I see they are around 32 or 33quid inc postage from reputable sellers
how significant is class 2 and class 6 micro sdhc cards? compared to the standard 50x micro sd cards.
the class 6 micro sd sdhc doesnt come cheap but the class 2 and class 4 seems reasonable..
I got the 4GB Sandisk card today and it works well.
£29.99 including p&p on play.com at the minute....
Damnit, knew I should have waited...

That's a SD not a SDHC card. It will still work though.
You can get the 4Gb SDHC card on eBay for £32 and you also get a Micro SD to SD Card Adapter and a SDHC USB Card reader in with the price

The fact that its 4GB means it has to be SDHC... The HC stands for High Capacity
maybe not.
there is a 4gb sd and 4gb sdhc.
have just got a 4GB SDHC Micro Sd card from Amazon including an sd to micro adapter and a sandisk micromate (adapter type thing not used yet) for £24.95 + p+p in total came to less than £30.
Works fine for me so far despite HTC telling me they only support 2 GB cards, mine is an MDA touch from Tmonile but I dont think that will make much difference.

No he's right. On research I find SD only goes up to 2Gb. The SDHC uses FAT32 file system to be able allow higher capacities. 8Gb card coming out next year.
Anyway, for me extra 2 squids I got a couple of adaptors.
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）

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.
Yep, it's true! I just put £440 down for a Dell Venue Pro at Clove;
http://www.clove.co.uk/dell-venue-pro
It has been confirmed that it has an SDHC slot, so I ordered a 32GB Micro SDHC card from Amazon as well. The phone comes with 8GB on board so I'll have a total of 40GB. It's scheduled for delivery on 8th November.
So why a Dell Venue Pro?
1) It has a hardware keyboard, which I prefer
2) The screen is a huge 4.1" AMOLED (yum)
3) The glass is "Gorilla Glass" toughened
4) It's one of very few SIM-free handsets available in the UK
5) It has 1GB of ROM
6) It won't be cluttered up with much OEM garbage
7) It's less expensive than the Omnia / HTC etc
8) It has an SDHC card slot, which none of the HTCs or other UK phones seem to have
Looking forward to taking delivery and filling up that 40GB with Moo Sick.
Well, if the specs are correct and it really has memory expansion slot, I think we have a winner here
Both Clove and Expansys clearly state the SDHC slot is there, if it isn't I shall be returning the device. I took screenshots of the info for later use if necessary
It's a helluva phone with all that lovely storage in it!
the Sandisk 32GB is like class 2 i think?
i'd've gone for a 16GB that is class 6 or 10. if the read/write rate is atrocious, it makes managing a large capacity like 32GB unbearable. but if you have speed, it makes it all better.
Hey,
Is it 100% that the Venue Pro (why, oh why, did they dump the Lightning name??) has SDHC support? So often sites show specs but they end up being wrong so I was wondering if you've seen it confirmed anywhere else other than Clove?
If it's true then THIS is the phone I'm going to get - and to think, I almost caved and went to get an Omnia 7 tonight *phew*
to bad that one selling there is not the US 3g compatible ..bands are 900/2100.. need to be 850/1900 for usa
and i have the feelings t mobile wont have this in nov.. ****...
Yes it's class 2.
I've been running a class 2 16GB card in my HD2 for a while without any issues. Speed is only really important for writing to the card anyway, and class 2 is perfectly capable of playing video and music so there's no problem at all. I prefer storage size to speed on my phones anyway.

I think your right with that
can someone please provide a link to buy a fast sdhc card from somewhere for this device? 16GB or 32GB.
almost all WP7 phone will have a "SDHC slot", but it's used for a "embadded" sd card which holds systems files and "internal" storage. Say for Dell Venue Pro, you reads there is a 8GB storage, meaning there is a 8GB sd card in that slot. you can't use the phone if you removed the original sd card, as I understood from M$.
If you have to removed the 8GB card for the 32GB, then you wont have 40GB. Also, I do believe you can switch them out. You just might need to hard reset after.

It's probably going to lead to a slow feel and experience as well; switching the default card for a class 2 card.
A NOTE ON WP7 AND SD CARDS:
At the moment, no publicly available microSD card has the correct characteristics to be used as internal memory for WP7.
The "Class" system for SD cards measures minimum bulk transfer speeds, while this is useful for devices like cameras, it is not so good if the SD card is being used as a device's main storage.
This is not FUD or BS - the micro SD cards being shipped with the phones have a lower latency and random read\write rates than the normal ones you can purchase.
The reason they are including user-accessible slots is such that 1) the carriers can offer different capacity sizes in-store when selling the phone and 2) (hopefully) in the near future they may be cards that are publicly available with the correct characteristics that can be certified to work with WP7.
For the time being, I would recommend holding off on buying a micro SD card for your WP7.

I am looking to buy a SGN2, but want a 32GB version.
The Samsung website suggests that larger memory model could be made available but perhaps on the "International" model.
http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxynote/note2/spec.html?type=find
I looked at the websites of all the North American carriers which are compatible to each other: they are AT&T, Bell, Telus, and Rogers. I am only interested in these carriers (not Sprint, Verizon, etc). All of them only show the 16GB model to be offered.
Will any of [AT&T, Bell, Telus, and Rogers] eventually carrier the 32GB model?
If so, is it known (or reasonably speculated) when the 32GB be offered?
Not sure about US carriers but you can find it on pre-order now

If it's one thing I've learned about Samsung, when it comes to other models of their products with higher built-in memory, don't hold your breath, especially for carrier specific versions on top of that! You'll be blue in the face before it happens...
Just get a 64GB micro SD card and be happy with that, seriously. Plus, the Note 2 supports exFAT right out of the box, so as long as your SD card is formatted that way, you no longer have to worry about the 4GB file size limit of FAT32
Thanks for the comments.
I further noticed that the Galaxy Note 1 was offered only in 16gb flavour throughout the Canadian and American carriers, despite Samsung suggesting that 32gb was possible (evidentially never for the NA market). From that, I will speculate that the 16gb will be the only memory size for the Note 2. (I am guessing they are doing that to keep the price down on an already very costly device.)
By the time you are able to get your hands on a 32/64GB version, the S4 and GN3 will be arriving soon. Wished Samsung would be smart & make these models available sooner rather than later.

I totally agree with this.
I mean if the fruit company can make all 3 variants of their device available on day one, why can't Samsung?
I mean, yes we do get expandable storage, but having that 32 or 64 gig start is always nice. Not only that, but 16 gig feels so last generation. LOL
Ya, I wouldn't pay for the extra 16gb of storage. There's really no point, IMO. Considering, like someone else mentioned, it supports up to 64gb SD anyway.

Well, the point is that 16GB internal + 64GB external is 80GB, and if you want to store more than 80GB on your phone, the 16GB internal configuration will not allow that, while a 32GB or 64GB will allow more than 80GB total storage space.

How many people actually require that amount of local data storage on their phone these days? I mean, I have the 16x64 setup on mine, and I have never felt cramped for space, ever. Seriously, I have like several HD movies and TV series on my 64gb card, and even then I'm only taking up about half the capacity. As for all my 30+ gigs of music, that's all in the cloud with Google Play Music.

That implies that you don't listen to music very often, that you're usually on wifi, or that you have an unlimited data plan and charge often.
Seriously, the "cloud" doesn't work for many people when the cost of data is so high.
(On the other hand, I manage fine with a 16GB phone + 64GB microSD card - and no "cloud" usage.)
There's also a good chance that a 128GB microSD card would work, but just wasn't tested. I know that several older devices (that only claim to support 32GB cards) work fine with 64GB cards when formatted as FAT32.
Personally, I prefer removable storage to phone internal storage anyway. If the phone bricks, you can take the microSD card out and read it with another device.

I'm a mobile gamer & I like to be able to have tons of games on my phone. With higher storage, I'm able to store more games w/o uninstall the ones I'm not currently playing.
I bet Samsung would sell even more if they had 32/64GB version like the iFruit company. 32/64GB nand memory can't be all that expensive can it? Is there a parts shortage?

I listen to my music very often, wifi is ubiquitous, and though I do have unlimited data, I don't use so much of it that being on a tiered data plan would make any difference to me. The cloud is here to stay, whether people embrace it or not.
Sure there will always be a desire for more local storage, but that's why we have expandable memory and, in some cases, multiple cards.
At least this time around, with the new design, you no longer have to power down the device just to swap out a card
Remember, you can also get a micro-usb to usb adapter and plug in a flash drive as well for additional storage. Not ideal but you can load up on media this way.

I can say that I tried. While I was using a 16GB GSM gnex as my primary device, it forced me to use "the cloud" for music storage, and my data usage doubled to over 1GB/week (from about 400MB/week.) Being on a 3GB monthly tier, this was a slight issue.
64GB microSD is working on the Note 2 stock rom and it only costs $60 on amazon.

Curious what people are going to get if getting the new tablet. 64GB, 256GB or Unsure.
The pre-order promotion (free keyboard cover) in my country (belgium) only applies to the 64 GB model, so I voted 64 GB...
So maybe to help people with sizing... was just at the store looking at the 64GB display model.
So out of it, it had 35.3GB usable on the device, with.. roughly 7.5GB installed from apps and some promo video/images. So overall max of 42.8GB roughly.
Without a doubt, I am getting the 256gb version. I am replacing a failing tab s 8.4 with 16gb version. Currently with the games I play, I fill the internal storage very fast. And trying to use external storage really slows down the performance. So I would rather not run into that again in any way. Hoping this tab can also last me 4 years like the last one did.
Got the 64GB model after reallying thinking about it and took a chance. 52GB actually usable space! Whew [emoji3] Plenty for apps, and general storage. Videos and such on SD Card is good for me.

I got the 64GB version, I'm on the fence with this purchase, on the one hand it's a decent enough tablet. On the other hand, Dex needs to be fleshed out more, but is better than ANY chrome os laptop/tablet-hybrid I've tried.
Some Advice: If you go with Best Buy, get the insurance on it. I found out a few years ago with my Samsung Watch that one feature of insurance they don't tell you about is the ability to trade up. Meaning you can sell them your outdated device at the EXACT same price you paid for it, taxes included and it goes back to you in Store Credit. Meaning. Buy the 64GB now, turn it in for the 256 when it comes out, since it wasn't at my Best Buy and they inferred that it was coming at some unknown time. I live in Chicago.
in Canada, the 64GB is already priced ridiculously. the 256GB is the better "deal" but the price can't be justified given last gen specs.
IMO Samsung should have made a "standard" Tab S4 @ current specs, and then a Tab S4+ @ 256GB, 6GB RAM, Snapdragon 845, LTE.
I am based in the Netherlands and would like to purchase the 256Gb model, but it appears that the 64Gb model is the only one (initially) being released in the country.
I checked a few other European countries, but the same situation seems to apply there, too.
Does anyone know of a list of which models are to be released in which countries? I'm currently out of the country until September and travelling back via Dubai then, so if the device were available at the airport, I could pick one up there instead of pre-ordering on-line from a Dutch shop. Of course, I won't then get the good pre-order deal on the keyboard case, so I have to factor that in, too.
So, if I bought a 64gb model and stuffed it with a 256gb SD, would apps be able to be stored on the card? In short, would it behave as a pure 256gb model?
Thanks

Most things do not write to the SD card. Only apps I'm aware that do are multimedia applications, which really is the bulk of the storage space on a device typically.

Nope! All of your apps will install to the internal storage. Some apps will store some data on your SD card (not the same as installing to SDcard) . In short it will be nothing close to having 256gb internal storage. That's why I purchased the 256gb version and expect to take delivery by tomorrow.

...but the LTE version only comes in the 64gb variant. Yet another disappointment in what would otherwise be an awesome tablet.

Is any market than the North American one getting the 256 Gb variant?

Yes, I saw a youtube video and the guy had a 256g LTE version. Don't recall the region/location.
Happiness would be a 256g LTE with the voice phone radio/ability
Definitely the 64gb, I already have a 256gb microsd card. You can force apps to sd in developer options, but honestly I only need the storage for movies and comics, which is built into the apps I use.
Does anyone know online store in eu where to buy 256gb version? (With or without lte.)
My country's limited period promotion is free upgrade to 256gb. So I got that
After being sceptical about buying the 64gb version, I have now had a few weeks to see how it goes. I have around 150 apps and a 64gb sd card. The main storage is less than half full as is the sd card. I no longer hanker after the 256gb. Very happy?
TL;DR: I'm debating the Tab or iPad, as I don't particularly like Apple's ecosystem, but all the useful apps pertaining to my interests are on iOS. Between the two, both of these devices cost the same for me whether it's 64 or 256GiB. I would go for 256.
You know I've had an Nvidia Shield since 2013. People were still saying that 16GiB should be enough for storage (arguably even 32). This is considering that games, even then, were starting to become fairly large for mobile gaming. I've actually used it up to about this year - though it's slow even on clean install, and the issues of overall sluggishness were never addressed with any update (since Nvidia was quick to ditch support once their tablet came along). It's at a point where I can't do anything on it today other than emulation, but I want to be able to create music and edit videos on a tablet.
I'd plan on obtaining the Korean 256/6 GiB version since it's the only model I've seen in that capacity - though I might have to sacrifice a leg (customs/tax and UPS's bologna "brokerage fees") for this thing costing an arm to begin with. However, also plan on keeping it as long as my Nvidia shield, and even longer. My personal use is mostly going to lie in multimedia creation and some mobile gaming. hopefully I can run a DAW like FL Studio mobile without issue on it but by reviews it seems buggy on a lot of modern devices, so I'm hesitant to drop money on something that may or may not work -- though I have Caustic 3, which works without issue on my Note, but is limited (made for much older devices).
Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of junk apps on the Play store that "you may be interested in". This is what's throwing off my decision to buy the tablet. Too many fart soundboards and fake DJ apps, and not enough professional apps - please correct me if I'm wrong - they seem to be sparse on Android. There is SoundCamp, and while it uses some device features, I don't really care for it.
