> Memory Stick Pro DUO limit in W800i?
Bookmark topic
What's the limit of memory stick size I can fit into my W800i? I have read conflicting reports everywhere. GSMArena says 1GB, Mobile-Review says to quote them: "cards up to 2 GB now, the next year promises 4 GB ones". The phones official whitepaper with specs for developers available at:
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/getDocument.do?docId=74305
and published in May2005 says: "Memory Stick PRO Duo™ supports up to 4 GB memory capacity."
Does that mean Memory Stick PRO Duo cannot be made in sizes more than 4GB or my phone won't have the processing power enough to handle 4GB?
Is the size of the Memory Stick i can fit in limited by my phone's processing power or I can put in whatever is available in the market as long as its Memory Stick Pro Duo?
I really would appreciate any clarifications for my doubts. Thanks

the w800 will take whatever size card you put in it. some places say 1gb but that is only because 1gb was the only available card at the time. when the 4 and 8gb cards are released the w800 will take them

the phone will take what ever MSD you put in it, a 4gb one will soon be coming out, and perhaps after a 6gb and so on... k750 as well, also other SE top phones that accept them...

no, no 6gb lol. they increase by doubling capacity (power of 2)
4gb and 8gb are currently announced and there is no reason to suspect they won't work with al current SE phones (except P910)

I'm using a 2GB MSD with my w800i without any problem. I also agree that w800i will take the 4 & 8 GB MSD that will be released soon.

Thank you everyone for clearing my doubts and answering my question. I am really relieved that I can expand my memory to whatever is available in the market. The second obvious question is as the memory stick size increases, does it affect the performance of the phone? I mean does it slow down the interface and file processing power of the phone?

@bomba, Memory Stick Pro's have a "THEORETICAL" limit of 32gb... So we have a long way to go...

@masseur, why won't the 4/8gb mspd work with the p910?
@bomb, i think the more free memory the faster the speed of the phone. some1 correct me if i'm wrong.
btw, an 8gb mspd would probably cost more than a w800.
