Hi Im just wondering has anyone tried a 8GB card in an K750i??
Also I noticed cost was a big deterent to many of you . I was just wondering have any of you had any expeariance with buying MSPD's off of ebay. I heard that most of them are fake (particularly the ones form hong kong) but does anyone know if they still have full functionallity and work well generally?? I am considering ordering a 8 GB stick off of ebay.

Ultra II's have higher transfer speeds, but phones are not equipped to take advantage of the higher speeds so it would just be a waste of money. they are designed more for digital cameras and their rapid bursts of shots.
music and video on a standard sandisk memory stick is perfectly fine. |

Is this 8GB card already OUT  I mean if it was just bein' SOLD this late . . . I'm not so sure how the marketing-strategy on it was planned  Considering that latest fones now USES M2 cards how do they think that this NEW-8GB card will be saleable? Or perhaps their MAIN target is for the Sony Digicams?

When doing file transfer tests it's important to note the amount of files and their sizes. Number of files affects the transfer speed greatly in my experience.
Wouldn't it be great if you could partition your memory card? |

$300
price of a Sony 8 GB MSDP
$275
price of a  W810i
$250
price of an 8GB iPod Nano (which trounces  for music sync, navigation, and playback)
needs to ditch this overpriced proprietary-memory crap and just go with Micro SD like everyone else  :

@boba - I think this will apply to EVERYTHING . . . not just with . . . even with Nokia, Samsung, Motorolas . . . and almost with every commodity that you find out in the market.

But Sony does charge more for its proprietary formats (e.g. memory) - new or not - versus others selling non-proprietary items.
From Amazon.com:
$149.99 = 4GB MSDP by Sony
$129.99 = 4GB MSDP "Ultra II" by SanDisk
$ 89.99 = 4GB SD (full size) by SanDisk
Pricewise, Sony > others, and Sony proprietary formats > non-proprietary.
I say again, should drop MS/MSD/MSDP/MS Micro and go with Micro SD like everyone else.

I prefer Sandisk over Sony . . . as I find sooo many FAKE Sony memory-cards at my end

I, for one, am glad that SE DIDN'T go with Micro SD "like everyone else" since 4GB Micro SD isn't even available yet. I read that it's been announced by Sandisk and ????, but Sandisk's website doesn't return anything about it in a quick search. Google didn't return any products either.
MS Pro Duo is a good 6 months to a year ahead of Micro SD in terms of memory capacity.
And imagine trying to find that sucker in some good ol' fashioned 70's style shag carpet. GOOD LUCK. ...or in gravel or grass?

i filled up both my memory sticks only with aac music files so it is pretty much safe to say that the 4GB stick has about double the amount of files that i put on the 2GB one. therefore, i should theoretically be able to fill the 4GB one in 26 min max. the decreased write speed is quite obvious, but it seems to be the norm with high capacity flash memory cards so...
@cletus
i fully agree with you there. it's going to be a while before miniSD's or M2's catch up with the duo pro's capacity, and it certainly won't be any fun keeping a bunch of the tiny micro cards in your wallet, juggling them around and losing some in the process.
