Looking at the http://www.sdcard.org/home web site, its seems that your hardware has to support SD2.0 standard, its a new standard since 2006 I think.
Now looking at the age of the XV6700, Id say it only supports the sd 1.0 standard.
So Id say no its not going to work esp the HC versions
Unless someelse can tell me/us how to update the standard in the XV, Id say dont waste your money buy another 2gb card.

I'm thinking the card you got is not SDHC card, it's non-SDHC 4 gig card, which do exist and have been circulating around now for some time. Some devices will accept and read this 4 gig device just fine. Others will not.

Also the issue being discussed here is not if the 6700 has native SDHC support. We all know it doesn't, it's if we can hack it to support the new standard. Also, like I said before the Universal phone which came out in late 2005 like ours, now has WM6 and support for SDHC. Some users confirmed this with the use of 8 gig SDHC cards. WM6 didn't automatically come with the necessary drivers, there are a couple of developers over at XDA which had to manually insert it. Just read the thread I linked below.

Found another useful link >> http://www.windowsfordevices.com/news/NS8391848434.html . This company bsquare, appears to have made a software stack for Windows Mobile devices to support cards up to 32 gb. I don't see any other information for it, however.

Oz, sorry you're having trouble with your Topram 4gB (Non SDHC) card. I would urge you not to give up on it. For straight file storage it's been flawless on my device for about six months since a)re-formating it on the PC (several times), b) deciding not to store email attachments on the card, and c) upgrading the rom beyond the stock from the carrier. I think the last had the biggest effect.

They posted some new drivers and asked people to try it out. They say it worked.

Here are the drivers they posted:

If I had an SDHC card I would give it a shot. Anyone?

Just tested and works. I'm on helmi's wm6 and used a sandisk 4GB SDHC Micro with mini adapter. Will post screen shot as soon as I get home...

thanks neman, you're quick response and willingness to test is a great help and motivation. I guess I'll soon be investing in one of those 4 gig SDHC cards

Here's a screenshot for you...



Sandisk has also released a 6GB SDHC micro card as well...

Edit:

This also works on my WM5 AKU 3.5 from Helmi's 1.0.4 6700 also...



Edit2:

This also works on Treo 700WX WM5

if you have the time, would u be willing to fill up the card to capacity and test it if the data is being written and read correctly?

thanks

I installed the drivers as well, got it working with a transcend class 4 card. Card filled to 3.8 gb with movies and all of them played ok with Coreplayer. BTW I am not using WM6, I am using WM5 cooked with BigJ 1.03h kitchen.

If you get it working or not please post what brand of card you are using, by experience with previous devices I have found out that after upgrading drivers not all brands of SDHC cards behave the same. Also please state, if you know if your card is class 4 or 6.

Why are more people not excited about this? The only thing from making my 6700 the best ever is palm threaded sms working on wm6, and a kitchen to build my own version
