SanDisk debuts 2GB microSD card

Now that you've picked up that sexy little bit of Chocolate from Verizon, you're probably looking for a hefty storage option to load up all some of your tunes, and luckily SanDisk has got you covered with its new 2GB microSD card. First to market with a two gig flavor of this type of card, SanDisk has given VZW a 60-day exclusive for selling it in the US, while the rest of the world should be able pick it up at any number of locations. Available immediately, this card -- with its 1,000 VCAST song capacity -- will set you back an even $100, and probably less if you can find one of the OEM versions that SanDisk also announced.

Would this work in an A920? Some People tell me it has a 512MB limit, some tell me it doesn't.

Very Nice...I just purchased a SanDisk Sansa e250 (2GB Flash Based Music Player)

This little guy uses the MicroSD for add on storage space. Will be a worthwhile upgrade when price comes down a bit on the MicroSD cards.

And to think that just two days ago I ordered a 1GB microSD card for my VX8300...

Well, $100 is a bit pricey anyway. I got the 1GB for $40 shipped, so I don't know if I'm prepared to spend that much. Maybe when they come out with the Ultra II card.

To fill this up you'd have to pay verizon $1999.

[shirizaki @ Aug 2nd 2006 1:26PM]

I barely use my 256MB card anyway. Of course, the E815 sucks as an MP3 player.

When all phones start using MicroSD as a standard, I might get a bigger one. For now, I just use it as a convenience for the video recorder and ringtone storage.

[RickDom @ Aug 2nd 2006 1:50PM]

With such a high capacity on microSD, I wonder how long it'll be before we see digital cameras that use it.

[adrian @ Aug 2nd 2006 2:58PM]

Now, if only phone manufactuers could make a reliable interface to play music...

[Elias @ Aug 2nd 2006 3:00PM]

It's amazing how small these microSD cards are. I thought my cellphone's miniSD card was small, but these things just blow you away. I wish more devices/cameras would come with at least 512MB of storage built-in, if not then at least with a microSD slot.

I have the 512mb for my Motorola Razr V3x and its awesome, I already stored 22 movies in 3g mode.

[Taylor Alexander @ Aug 2nd 2006 4:38PM]

i hope this means higher capacity mini SD cards (capped out at 2 gig when micro sd was capped at 1 gig)

2GB's in the size of a fingernail.. incredible. I have the 256mb card for my A950 and am happy with that, but this is impressive!

[Huck @ Aug 2nd 2006 6:56PM]

Anyone know if a MicroSD to MiniSD adapter exists? I have a phone that uses Mini, but know I will eventually upgrade to a Micro SD capable phone and would LOVE to invest in only one type of card.

Thoughts?

1 Gig TransFlash cards work with the a920. It's only a matter of time before someone reports a larger size working (or not).

[Metapy @ Aug 2nd 2006 7:30PM]

Huck: Try ebay it looks like there are adapter sold there, I can't seem to find them anywhere else right now.

[The Dude @ Aug 2nd 2006 11:55PM]

so, as the person with the e250, I have the e260 (shoulda gotten the 270 :-/ ), so this is sweet

with the potential release of the 8GB Sansa by SanDisk, this little puppy would bump it to 10 gigs . . . definitely sweetness in a flash player!

[rafael @ Aug 3rd 2006 12:40AM]

to taylor, heres a helpful link http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/10533.htm well be able to use the higher capacity microsds with minisd too. i heard they were going to around 8 gig range.. later on of course.

[Mr Guy @ Aug 3rd 2006 7:01AM]

"First to market with a two gig flavor of this type of card..." Say Huh?!?!?

I guess the 2GB MicroSD I bought on Newegg for $65 back in May was just vaporware. Funny, 'cause it seems to work fine in my HTC 8125.

[TomTheGeek @ Aug 3rd 2006 1:47PM]

Mr. Guy, you bought a MINI sd card, not a MICRO sd card. they are two different formats. Unless you have one of these MICRO to MINI sd card adapters a MICRO sd will not fit in a 8125 as it has a MINI sd slot.

I had no idea they made those micro to mini adapters, very useful. I may have to sell all my minisd's and get one of these 2gb micro's.

[Andre @ Aug 11th 2006 6:09AM]

When the e280 comes out plus the 2gb mp3 player; 10gb flash based mp3 player. AWESOME.

[Corvinex @ Aug 17th 2006 11:42PM]

Has anyone tried to stick this card into a LG VX8300?

[dykenerd @ Aug 19th 2006 11:52PM]

yes. it will definitely work on the LG vx 8300.

[raj @ Aug 28th 2006 8:24PM]

will this 2 gb card suit my samsung T-809? will this affect the phone in anyway ?

[Chris @ Sep 1st 2006 1:48PM]

Will this 2GB card work in a Samsung SGH-t809 cellphone? I am currently using a 1GB without issue even though samsung's website says the maximum size is a 512MB card.

[Campos @ Jun 16th 2007 2:58PM]

I bought a 2GB microSD card and tried it in my t809, but didnt have any luck. after looking around, it seems that no one has been able to get a 2gb to work in one. guess we're stuck at 1gb

[BigCahuna @ Sep 19th 2006 3:30AM]

Does anyone know if anything bigger than 512MB will work in the RAZR v3i iTunes version?
I heard these phones originally came with an OEM 512MB TransFlash, but it seems all the eBay vendors pillage the box and sell everything separately.

[Ray-ray @ Sep 22nd 2006 4:29PM]

MicroSD IS TransFlash... and you can get 512MB for around $15 on Newegg.

[me @ Nov 10th 2007 9:53AM]

i have a samsung u740 phone with micro sd capability. can i use a micro sd card as an mp3 player? if so, how????

[Chanel @ Nov 10th 2007 9:25PM]

I love my T-Mobile Shadow it supports up to a 4G Micro SD card with no problem. It is also a really good music player. It is lightweight and it does alot of cool things. I give it 5 stars.

[Selena @ Jun 21st 2008 7:14AM]

yes Evan I was always looking for something more. And sanddisk and transflash are constantly introducing high gb memory cards. This is very light in weight + it is really very helpful to my music player.
I found this link which i think will be very help to all
