> will the k850i accept 8gb micro sd?
Bookmark topic
Hello to all on this thread,
I read everyone saying about max sizes of m2 card etc. I have just been experimenting with 4gb m2 card in my k850i and yes it does 'accept' the card BUT it seems to have limitations..... I have full length feature films on it that do not playback properly, sound out of sync and jerky, much slower accessing info from it and the 'save' time when you take a photo is up to 4 times longer compared to EXACTLY the same content/operations using my 2gb card with which I have no problems whatsoever! Other things (music, looking at pics, oh and using the phone are fine!). If anyone has tried the micro sd with better results it would be good to know or indeed if anyone using m2 card has similar problems with the same sort of thing I have mentioned.
Also tried the 4gb card in my k800i (same problems), works fine when playing film on pc from the card.
Thanks in anticipation
Ian

It's more likely that this is a firmware related issue than hardware.

Hopefully that is the case, bit annoying, as SE say it supports 4gb, clearly not to its full potential!
Anyway I have sent card back in case it is that and gone back to my 2gb card for now see if a replacement is any better.
For now though I would say that the K850i cannot fully handle anything more than a 2gb card, I hope I am wrong but the evidence is not in my favour! Perhaps a firmware update will rectify? Have to wait and see!!
Cheers
Ian

Sir SonyEricsson Man is already running an 8GB MicroSD in his K850(see users thread)......

V/Z800i was actually the first phones to support PRO(32GB) formatting
Jepps thats right.. Takes a little bit time to load the playlists when i have a lot of music in the phone.. But i really haven't put in 8GB of stuff in the phone yet. Can take a picture later for you.. More likely tomorrow..

yeah I didn't have problems with playlists or music or other less resource hungry stuff either. Have you tried watching a full length film on it? It will be interesting to hear results on 'save' times when taking photos at 5mb. Maybe it likes microsd cards better than m2!!??

@ Sir Sony Ericsson Man - Have you noticed and huge slowdown navigating the phone/media menu/file manager when using that 8gb beast because i'm considering investing in one
and also has the consumption of battery life changed at all especially when in media mode

I think I'm going to buy a 6gb Class 4 MicroSD for my K850i. I mean it seems pretty damn cheap (see my post above) and on SanDisk's website it does seem to suggest that MicroSD cards are slightly quicker.
I was thinking about waiting for the 8gb SanDisk MicroSD card to come out but then I noticed it was a class 4 as well. If you can wait until next year (mid-2008) Samsung are going to be shipping a Class 6 8gb MicroSD.

More info about the different MicroSD classes can be found on SanDisk's site here (please see the bottom of the 2nd page):

Hmm...

Hi All,
It looks as though SanDisk's 8GB MicroSDs and M2s are now available:
http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/[....]k-8GB-microSDHC-M2-cards.phtml
The MicroSD is a Class 4 which means the minimum write speed is 4Mb/s. No specs on the M2 version.
So who's going to be buying one?
