I just got my 8G card from SanDisk. It came with a USB adapter which I used to format it (FAT32) even though my computer already thought it was formatted. I installed the SDHC.777.cab from earlier in this thread. I then put the card in my XV6800. I opened the camera app, it recognized I had a storage card inserted and asked if I wanted to use it. i took a couple pics and they saved without problems. Haven't played with it much beyond that, but I wanted to stress that the card was blank and the phone did see it as a 7771.30 MB card.

Do the WM6 upgrade! You will be glad you did. If you need help in navigating through the entire WM6 upgrade process PM me with your questions and I would be happy to assist.

You are indeed correct. The phone will recognize the 8 gig card properly with the SDHC777 drivers installed. That is not the issue. The issue is when you want to playback music from the 8 gig card. Since the drivers you installed were developed before wider testing of these cards was out there the transfer rates were too high, which caused music to skip upon playback. This was identified when VerizonGuy had his kitchen out. Subsequently the lower transfer rates were incorporated into the latest WM6 kitchen by Helmi_C, which is available in the forum.

I would build a new ROM from this kitchen, and select SDHC drivers. You are then assured you have the SDHC driver set with the proper transfer rates. I have a Sandisk 6 gig card and its flawless!

Has anyone tried the 8GB Class6 Patriot card? It seemed like a good deal, so I ordered one, but I'm just curious if anyone can confirm it works ok with the 6700.

i just got a 4gig sdhc from kingston. Right now im running wm5 and my phone isnt activated yet because im away from home and there isn't an alltel store here. Will they still activate it if i have wm6 on it?

Personally, I highly suggest this solely because of the adaptors. It ensures you will use it with whatever HTC gives next for SD Format in XV-6900.

I haven't tried it, but I have a kingston 2GB and it has worked great, and exceptionally well. Just don't bother trying to reformat unless you are doing it on your pc. For some reason, Windows Mobile Reformatting the cards, causes data loss. I have never had any problems with my card, and, have it constantly filled up with over 1GB of media files.

Also, I really love how well it is working, because, thanks to WM5torage, I am also using the 2GB as a removable flash drive, and with absolutely no problems.

The main thing that I think is the problem, is if you were to take it in for repairs. Nothing is different between how they activate a WM6 and WM5 PPC Phone; or at least I don't think there is a difference. You should be fine, but if not, you can always flash back and try again. I don't even know if you need to worry about it, you can just flash to WM6 after activation, right> (I don't have any experience with that carrier, so I can't be for sure.) ?
