I have a K800i and I have just bought a 8gb and it works without any problem. Firmware is R1JG001.

had a sandisk 8gb in the k800i for ages now, works fine.
only minor thing is under phone status it only goes up to 4095mb under the 'memory stick free'. so if you have say 7gb free it will still say 4095mb. who cares though. it says correct free space in filemanager. |

I've been using the 8GB m2 card for nearly 2 months now, no problems. I was concerned it might be a bit "slow", but apart from taking a minute or two you boot up the phone, the k810i works as normal.
Very happy

THERE IS A KNOW BUG WITH FAT32 (>4GB) AND MEMORYSTICKS IN WINDOWS XP-SP2
THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEMS WITH 8GB M2 IS TO FORMAT IT UNDER WINDOWS VISTA, AND ALSO USE WINDOWS VISTA TO COPY FILES..
NOT USE WINDOWS XP UNTIL SP3 IS RELEASED.

I just purchased an sandisk 8 gig M2 for my K800i, and after formatting it on the phone was able to get it to read it had the full 8 gig worth of storage, HOWEVER once I started copying across my music collection, I only managed to get 4 gig on before it would take no more?
I was basically copying the MP3's across straight onto the memory card on my mac and as soon as it hit '4 gig of free space' it just wouldn't take any more??
Does anyone have any idea's on how to get it to take the full 8 gig??? |

My k800i can't read 8GB on my SanDisk M2 8GB card, I have tried:
- Format on K800i, result is 3.5GB available.
- Format in Win XP, maximum partition is 3.5GB, formatting as FAT32, result is 3.5GB drive.
- Format using DOS prompt, will only format with options FAT32 and 32K allocation units, result is 3.5GB drive.
- Format in Mac OS X Leopard, maximum partition is 3.5GB, although in Finder it says drive is 7.5GB, but I can only copy 3.5GB worth of data, then it gives a write error.
- Using WinHex software in Win XP to examine the drive it says it's 3.5GB and there is no indication of any extra space.
My K800i firmware is R1CB001 and on update it says that is the latest, but I see from various sites that it's not - does that mean I need to de-brand it and update again? Will that help read an 8GB card?
Anyone got any other ideas? Will formatting using Vista help?

OK, looks like I missed an obvious approach.... I can use the 8gb capacity when I connect using the usb cable to the K800i. But this is slow to transfer data.
When using a USB multicard reader to read the M2 card with a PC or Mac, I only get 4GB.
Anybody know why this is?

K800s may have problem with free memory indicator... I have seen cases where it shows only 6gb, but uses all 8 so nothing to worry about.
