media manager seemed nice but it was too slow??

sdhc cards now have speed ratings(read/write), so they probably make some difference.
i have an 8gb sd in my camera. i gotta get me a 8gb m2 or microsd.
by default m2 seems quicker/better but high quality and high speed sdhc (sandisk-probably a bit more expensive) are faster i presume.

I use (or at least try to) an 8GB sdhc loaded with 6Gig of music and it's soooo sloooow to get to a track, pretty much unusable. Once there, it plays fine. Not sure how it performs with a M2 at that size (fine with a 1GB). Just waiting for the lastest rumored FW ungrade to see if this problem is sorted and thus, if I keep the phone.


Just updated to the lastest FW (R1EA031) and they have fixed the speed of the Media player. Doesn't seem to be a massive amount of other changes, but for me, this has made a big difference.

I've got an 8Gb SanDisk MicroSDHC it works fine with the phone, but is not recognized by Windows Media Player. Only the phone memory shows up. When I pop in my 2Gb MicroSDHC WMP does see that. Is anyone else having better luck? I'm on the R1EA031 firmware and I've tried both MTP and Phone Mode

Im having the same problem - I've called to my local SE support and they sayd this is what happens if you put in something that the device doesnt officialy support - they do support 4gb but not 8gb (yet) - anyway --- whats the best workaround or smthng like that.
