I'm quite certain that the 6800 is USB2.0. The main problem is Activesync. It is a very narrow funnel to push large amounts of data through.

If you are loading lots of music I would definitely spend the 10-20 bucks on a card reader.

Hmm... I'll try WM5torage... sorry but I'm not willing to buy a card reader... I don't want to remove my card too often because if I do, I'm concerned that I'd end up wearing out the card... I'd rather just leave it where it is. These microSD cards don't look very sturdy...

You won't, you shouldn't, and they are. Quit being ridiculous.

...though to be fair, I'll agree that the filetransfer speed over the USB cable sucks.

When using WM5torage or Card Export I find transfer speeds to be about the same as using a card reader. The bottleneck is ActiveSync, not USB.

Well, I didn't find any speed increase using Card Export II just now.

35 minutes to transfer 1.3GB of MP3s, about the same as ActiveSync...

you're right...it would have been considered a true upgrade from the 6700 to 6800 if HTC had just upgraded that functionality. I think the HTC Vogue (Touch) will sport USB 2.0 according to these here specifications:

*drools*

Damn the Touch for not having a physical keyboard though lol

i used to think that too until i saw this SIP and the person in that video using it inspired me. Now I think I can wait for the Vogue to come out instead of getting a 6800 now.

ill sell you a 20some card reader in one for ten bucks geez...
or another option is setup your comp in a germ free padded room , get a pair of plastic gloves , and pair of tweezers and do the delicate process of handling your oh so fragile micro sd lol jk but i found that just silly and i smoke alot of chronic. you can get a card reader on ebay hella cheap and itll transfer your files in a quarter of the time as activesync/windows control center.

Using Card Export II, I get the exact same speeds as on ActiveSync. 30-something minutes to copy 1.3GB of MP3s.
