Sandisk 4 Gb Micro Sd Card - micro sd card, 4gb
I got this card for my LG EnV2 so that I could put music on it as well as have more storage space for pictures, along with the option of printing pictures I take on my phone at a kiosk that accepts SanDisc cards (adapter needed), and it works perfectly! Don't be alarmed if the product comes to your home in nothing but a bubble wrap envelope. Bulk packaging simply means that it doesn't have plastic casing on it. In other words, it doesn't have the retail packaging that you would see hanging on a store shelf at Wal-Mart.
If your device doesn't read microSDHC cards, but you're looking for a microSD card (non-SDHC) that holds more storage capacity than 2 gigs, then you won't find it because such a card doesn't exist. Any microSD card with storage capacity higher than 2 gigs is automatically going to be an SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) card. If you're looking at any product detail of, say a phone, and in the details it mentions that it can have an external storage capacity of 8 gigs with a "microSD" card, then that device can certainly read SDHC, though product details don't always mention that. Sandisk 4GB MicroSDHC Memory Card with SD Adapter (BULK Packaging)
What can I say? It's a tiny little MicroSD card with 4 GB of memory. It worked great on the first try with my HTC 8925 (AT&T Tilt) phone. It's fast and the price was perfect.
I'm sure in six months everyone will have 20 GB cards for $50 each, but for the time being if your phone or camera supports MicroSD and SDHC then pick one of these up.
BTW: If you've never seen a MicroSD card, be prepared to be floored by its size. Think fingernail.
I bought this for use with a Nokia 6085 cell phone, but the card is not recognized by the phone.
In fact, it wasn't recognized by the built-in reader in my 6 month old laptop, either.
Upon contacting the supplier I was advised that cards higher in capacity than 2GB use a special format which is not usable by most devices, even laptops with integrated card readers, unless they specifically indicate that they can use the new SDHC (High Capacity) format.
Kudos to the supplier, as they don't claim that it works with my phone; they shipped quickly and responded well to my email.
The problem was my lack of research into possible compatibility issues.
So, now you know. Don't make the same mistake I did!
I ordered an SD card holder for my wallet that holds three of these. Include the one in my phone and I can carry around almost 16GB of tunes. Equivalent of 2 IPhones or almost as much as one 20GB mp3 player.
Edit: The 6GB card is out now (9/07) ASIN:B000VUPUOU Sandisk 6GB MicroSDHC (MicroSD High Capacity) Memory Card w/ MicroMate Reader (SDSDQ-6144-E11M, Retail Package) and the 8GB card should be here soon.
Edit: 8GB card now (Feb 08)
A couple minor problems -
1) as the first reviewer mentioned - it did get stuck in my phone at first (T-Mobile Wing). But it pops right out now that I have pulled it 6 or 7 times. Whatever made it stick has worn down a bit so there is now no problem.
2) I did not realize I needed an SDHC compliant card reader in order to use this card efficiently. So, I had to load mp3s on my card by connecting it through my phone - a pretty slow process. The card reader to get (so far) is the SanDisk MicroMate Reader (for SD cards) for under a twenty bill.
But all the storage is great for people like me - addicted to music!
I have a Blackberry Pearl, and along with a number of other devices, it can't read these cards!! The card itself works fine with my Canon SD800iS camera (with the adapter), but even then I cannot download it to my G5 Mac through my card reader. The technology is very new, and not all devices support it, so double-check before you buy. If your device does work, I recommend this product 100% - the only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because there was no warning when I bought it.
I bought this item as an expansion to my Sansa e250 mp3 player, which is awesome by the way, but this is a great price for a good card, check it out, i went to ebay and couldn't find a better price for this same card, so it is great. but yeah what can i say, it is a good card for a good price
This is a great product. It works perfectly right out of the box with my Lg Chocolate vx 8550. It also works perfectly with my Dell inspiron 1501 laptop with windows vista. TONS OF MEMORY. EASY to use. - Micro Sd 4gb - Micro Sd Card - Sandisk - 4gb'
