Posted by chunkybeats
ACTUALLY FOUND A WEBSITE THAT HAS A PRICE AND CAN BE PREORDERED!!!
Go to www.cdw.com ,
they have the MSXM8GS 8GB Pro Duo - the price is $525.99, which is about 413 Euro, or £280.
Hope this helps guys!!!

will support it harry, cos originally when the w810i came out it said at the time only up to a 1gb card can be supported, but now since then more higher capacity cards (2GB & 4GB) are now available and basically the 8GB will work, it states it onthe memorystick website.

woah!!!its almost the same price as the w950-4gb
ne ways w810 cant support 8gb
Posted by chunkybeats
you still dont believe me? its just the usual sony does when it releases a product, it brings out a phone and it says it can only support up to 1gb (when at the time 1gb are only available), then 2gb and now it can support 4gb , so it definately supports the 8gb, cant see why not, its the same format!!! heres the link to prove that it supports the w810i!!!!

Would it be likely that the W800i will also support 8GB? I certainly hope so because I've been looking forward to buying the 8GB for quite some time...

I'm gonna laugh bigtime when it hits the marked and everyone said it will not work and than you at last will se that it works

Why wouldn't it work?
We have the same discussion about this everytime a higher capacity card is released or announced. The 8gb will defiently work though they're could be more of a battery consumption, from the experience ive had with big capacity cards.
I'm not sure if anyone has yet attempted and purchased the £100.00+ 4gb but my guess is that it works.
...before long we'll have 16 and 32gb cards

well sheringham i completley agree with you, bcos i have a mate who has a w800i and has a 4gb ms pro duo in it, and he has had no problems, only thing he noticed was the slow access to files, you had to wait a minute or two for your mp3's to load onto the phone when you first turn it on. I cant see it being any different with the 8gb with the w800i and anyway it is the older cousin of the w810i and the system is basically identical! so the 8gb card should work!

well as far as i know, the memory format will be FAT32 for bigger memory space. My cousing have a 4gb fat32 mspro duo on his p990i and i tried it on my w810 and it worked with no problems, so that means that the phone supports fat32, wich means that it would support the 8gb one.

The w810, w800 or any other phone should support the 8gb MSPD, but the only thing you lose is the reading\\writing speed which needs to be done by card reader. And you will need some more time to load the phone completely.

Hi all,
But until the price drops this works out at @£35per GB which is kind of expensive don't you think? It must be cheaper and very little trouble to just use a couple of cards of 4GB which according to the ad above the last post is only £69.99 so half the price of a single 8GB card. I mean its not like these cards are big or difficult to swap is it.

Has anyone had any expeariance getting cards off of ebay, specifically in hong kong , where they seem to be extreamely cheep. infact thereis a guy there selling them for €160 . Do you think they really are 8GB and do you think they work properly?
