It's NOT an M2 though . . . but with the MSPD, I rely msotly on the performance of the Sandisk brand, than that of Sony . . . as I am seeing LOTS of fake Sony cards at my end too, none so far with Sandisk

I installed a Sandisk 2GB M2 on my K800i yesterday, and it seems to work fine.
First, I backed up everything on my Sony 1GM M2 to my computer using the USB cable, it took about 15-20 minutes, then I instaleld the 2 GB card, and copied everything back from the computer, which also took about 15-20 minutes, maybe a little bit longer, since write access is slower than read access on flash memories. I also thrwe in some more mp3's and pictures on the new card, and I still have plenty of space left. I think 2GB is the maximum limit that K800i can handle.

Well I think it may handle at least 4GB. Just no M2 card of that capacity yet.

Quote from
K800 white paper:
Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) slot
There is support for Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) of up to 2 GB. Different kinds of content (pictures, audio, video clips etc.) can be stored on the Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™), and transferred to other Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) – compatible consumer products, for example Sony digital cameras, camcorders, portable music players, TVs, photo printers and computers.
Update:
Just for curiosity, since I thought that the 2GB limit might be firmware or hardware dependant, I checked the white paper for K810. In there, they state that Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) slot supports up to
1 GB memory cards. That's truly an argument for keeping the K800i and not upgrading to K810...

Sandisk had the 2GB before sony did they both make the same cards. Just deliver at different times. Its all down to preference, with the cards.
Sandisk were the !st to use Flash memory. I think it was intel or ibm who didnt see any use for it so the creator got to take the rights to it many years ago.

Sandisk is any day better than sony ones in terms of quality , performance and cost.
i had used both of them and found that sony does not stand any where.
i am using a 4gb ultra II for my p990i and its works great..
the only problem is getting a genuine one.. but from an authorised dealer.
more than 90% of sandisk cards in the market are fake ones. Its very hard to make them out. For sony too you might find plenty of fake ones...

No, it's true, or there is a typing error in
's white paper. It cannot be that they did not write bigger than 1GB since there were no bigger M2 cards available by the time the paper was written, since the white paper for K800i is much older, and that one says 2 GB.
There is a tiny possibility that the addressing space could be increased by a firmware or EROM upgrade, but the limit may as well be in the hardware.
Anyone with a K810 that has tested a Sandisk 2GB M2 yet? It does work on my K800.
