Accessories Sources for cheap SD cards.

[JedEye]

I was looking around for high capacity SD cards and I found a few links.

2GB $6
4GB $9 / $13
8GB $19 / $24
16GB - $51 / $59

Shouldn't be running out of storage on the G1 for a while.

T-mobile G1 uses Micro SD cards.

Like this one.

This is what I like about the G1, expandable flash(unlimited space), unlike the iphone 3g.

8GB - $39

While I like expandable storage, I still think it needs an internal drive. Surely there will be a phone released with an SDD and a memory slot.

Sandisk has a 12GB MicroSDHC on the way...

actually I've heard that was cancelled for the 16gb version that is shipping as we speak

Why don't you guys just buy from Newegg.com? Its the best place for all that kind of stuff. Also, make sure it is a Class 6 card. Class 4 are a bit slower in comparison.

I was going to ask a question about that. I don't know much about the microSD cards, but saw everything from class 2 to class 8. Is there than noticeable of a difference?

It depends on how fast the phone can access it. But considering its going to be a modern phone, i would just go and get the fastest and hope the phone can handle it. Besides, price difference is only a few bucks more for a higher class.

Doesn't the G1 have a limit of 8BG?

 

[onilink67]

I'm going to test the new 16gb one if is a true SDHC card reader then it should theoretically be able to read up to 32gb. I believe the 8gb limit is do to when the press release happened 8GB was the biggest available

Doesn't the G1 have a limit of 8BG?

From what I hear yes and no...I'm not sure if its a hardware thing or if its simply because of availability. I hope its because of whats available...makes no sense for 8GB to be a physical limit.

 

[JedEye]

It wouldnt make sense to me if it was a hardware limit, maybe a limit of the OS.

 

[onilink67]

no point about talking theoretically I have one ordered that should be in before the G1 so once mine it shipped to me on the 22nd I'll know as soon as it comes in.

the new sandisk 16gb was announced that it would work on the g1

Link? I know there was an artical hoping that if it works it would put the G1 on level with iphone

I got a 8GB card for $26 from meritline.com. Hang out on bensbargains.net or dealnews, usually you'll find one there.

Newegg.com's service and speed can't be beat. Also when you are looking at classes, consider only a class 4 card is required for 1080P AVCHD video camcorders (20+Mbps)...

This was mentioned higher up in the thread, but to answer a quick question on the "Class" numbers you see listed with the cards:

The Class refers to the data transfer speed -- Class 4 = 4 Mbps, Class = 6 Mbps, etc.
You'll also see numbers such as "40X" and such. 40X = Class 6.

Get the highest class you can
