How long will it be before "certified" cards are available?

when i switched from tp2 to focus, i swapped my a-data 8 gb card and reset it. it did not show up. then i reset it again and showed up and it is working w/o issues now.

If you want to try it, try it as soon as you receive the phone as it hard resets the phone.

This info might be useful in deciding what type SD card works.

i put a 8g class4 in my focus, and its working fine

I have a 32GB Kingston with over 10GB of data loaded - works perfectly. I have heard some are having problems at 15-20GB - I'll update when I reach that point. For now - works fantastic.

I thought I would add my recent experience on the microSD card issue. After buying the phone I decided to purchase a microSD card I saw on sale. It was a Kodak branded card, 8 GB. The short version: everything worked as expected until I powered the device off and then on. No contacts, no access to music, and none of my settings were remembered. I found a 4 GB Sandisk card lying around. Formatted it and the phone. Reloaded everything. Everything is now working as it should, even after a "soft" reset.
BTW, love the phone.

P.S. I was told that the card was my issue on th WP7 forums, otherwise I would never have guessed it.
