How big is your MicroSDHC card and speed?

ymarker · #1 (**permalink**) 10-29-2008, 05:29 PM

Just curious what size MicroSDHC card people are buying for the phone and class/speed (2/4/6).

I'm thinking of getting 8Gb, but would love to get 16gb if any good deals float around. Not sure if the TP can utilize the 6MB/s speeds of Class 6 cards. Anyone know?

I just ordered a 16B card...not sure what speed it is though!

BTW, I got mine from provantage.com $80 shipped.

I am so tempted to get one of those 16gb cards but I just cant do it yet. I mean I have a 6gb in my mogul right now that I have maxed out before and I can get an 8gb card $20 so a 16gb card at 4x the price is just crazy to me.

Considering 8GBs were like $150 when they first came out, $80 for a 16GB doesn't seem too bad.

LOL, so true considering I payed like $60 for 6gb card a year ago. Your right, so I guess I shouldn't complain.

I have a 16gb from sandisk and it is class 2....what are the differences in class???? Do they cost more??? Are they really that much faster???

I got mine from Best Buy when i bought my touch pro they only had one and i thought that it would be the best that sandisk offered but i didn't realize it was class 2 until i read this thread and checked my card. But the speeds are very fast in comparison to some other micro and mini sd cards i have used.

Class 2 = 2MB/s
Class 4 = 4MB/s
Class 6 = 6MB/s

I have a Sandisk 8GB class 4 or 6 card in my TP with no problems.

I do like the ability to choose either sync or storage device when you plug the TP to your computer.
I'm looking for another 8GB card for movies soon.

This feature disappeared on my touch pro for some reason and I can't figure out how to get it back. Could someone tell me how to re-enable the ability to choose sync or storage device when you plug the TP into the usb cable please.

Also, does anyone know of a way to change the timeout value that the keyboard light stays on? Mine is set to like 10 seconds then it turns the light off. I'd like to keep it on as long as the keyboard is open.

Thanks in advance!

Goto "Settings/Connections/USB to PC" and check "Ask about connection type when I connect"
And the keyboard backlight is hard-wire to a 7 sec. cut-off, to my knowledge no one has a solution to change it (yet).
