I've been tracking the launch of the 8 GB cards and am really interested to get my hands on one. I have a 7 month old K790i, and am not sure if & how well my phone will work with this card. Any users who have already tried out this combination please update me, and the other public at large. Thanks |

how much does your iphone have 4-8gb... expandable no
how much does your k800 have 8gb multiplied by as many as I want |

Is the overall speed/performance of K800/K790 affected by the capacity of of the memory card e.g. does it become slower with higher capacity?
It's REAl shitty when shits hits the fan |

tested 4gb worked no problems what so ever, tested 8gb and phone was very very very laggy
opening folders and such was not much success. took way way to long.
dont know if faulty card or phone or what as I only have 1.

zirkie: vlad's reply should answer your query. Thanks vlad for giving us valuable insight. I think neither your phone nor your card is defective, but the problem lies somewhere in the memory addressing capability of the phone's processor. In fact, this is what had prompted me to put forth this discussion in the first place.
vlad, just let me know if there are any specific lagging or hanging problems with the phone's functionality in general (apart from file manager), and specifically about the media player. Coz I dont think I'll be using the file manager much. Rather plan to fill up the memory with my music collection, and just listen to it on the go.
Further comments from K790/K800 with 8GB users are eagerly awaited...... |

My N70 does that with a full up 512mb card, i think it's to do with the way phones acsess data :/ |

I agree with you, Thomas. Just that N70 is way too old, with a really weak processor as compared to K800. I wouldn't even make any comment about K750's memory handling capacity beyond 2GB.
The point is, the case with K800 is significantly different. It's basically an over-engineered product, with specifications designed to absorb future advancements in technology. A case in point being its screen, which, at 190 pixels/inch beats even the iPod (160 pixels/inch).
So, you can always expect the K800 to perform something no other phone can.... |

put new firmware on and tried the 8gb card again, still lags, but doesnt hang this time, filemanager as well as music/video player
to open a video took me about 1 min but it opened up and played the file....
I dont know what else to try....

Have you let the phone format the M2 card before using? |

I've got a new k810i. I took a chance and ordered an 8gb Sandisk card from w2w.com, thanks to fair.tec's post.
I'm assuming a firmware upgrade will fix it, they are designed for mobile phones, after all?
I emailed Sony Ericsson asking for advice, but haven't heard a thing! Should I be worried about fakes? My first Sony Pro Duo card, a few years ago, was a fake from Hong Kong and I don't want to get stung again |
