NO PROBLEM.
W760 is tested by SanDisk as part of the normal qualification.

Unlike microSD, there's only one type of M2 card - and any phone that takes it (at least from SE - are there others?) will happily support 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32GB. Not sure if they can go beyond that, or when they're actually going to release 32GB cards.

The only potential problem is how slow it might be when you use a 16GB M2 card. If you're going to put thousands of images or audio files, it could really slow things down - but that's down to the OS. However, if you're using 16GB to store loads of films (and therefore less files in any one directory) then it's great.

I've got a 16GB card in my W595 and that seems to be fine.

are the 16GB m2 cards available for purchase yet? I've been looking for it here in the States. The websites that "carry" them look very suspicious.

There should be 16GB cards imho... The 8GB are on the market for a longer time so the 16GB should be available somewhere... And the phones WILL read ALL cards that are formatted with FAT32 filesystem... That includes cards up to 32GB atm.

SanDisk announced the release of both M2 16GB and microSDHC 16GB cards at the same time (30th September 2008).

I believe they should now be on sale, with the M2 being about 20-30% more expensive than the microSDHC version.

Of course, the fakes won't be far behind - so the usual common sense rules apply!

Does W910 supports them? Because it's not new phone.
The best mobile phone brand died with Sony Ericsson's death. Shame on you Sony for killing it! And, of course, for ruining the Xperia brand...

Db2010 phones like K750 may be slow with such cards but DB2020 and DB3150 phones won't make any problems with them.

My phone can't read 10mb 3gp file from the m2 card. Why?
