Memory card shipping with Desire - Desire General

Hi folks,
Does anyone have any idea of the memory card shipping with the Desire?
I've pre-ordered a Desire from Clove but it occurred to me the other day that there seems to be no information anywhere about what, if any, MicroSD card will be shipped with the phone. My current Touch HD shipped with an 8GB card and my wife's Hero came with a 2GB card, but what about the Desire?
I fired off emails to HTC and Clove a couple of days ago. To date Clove have not responded and HTC said that that decision would be left to the importer and retailer.
So right now I've no info and don't know whether I need to order a card separately in readiness for the arrival of my new beasty.

Hi Folks
I've heard from Clove now - should have known they wouldn't let me down ...they were waiting to hear from their suppliers. Their Desires will ship with a 4GB card.

Legend comes with 2GB, my guesses for the Desire will be 4GB.

Wish they would start chucking 8gig cards in. I have a 8gig spare but would be nice if they came with one. Don't cost much nowadays. Like you said though you can always rely on Clove.. I wont go anywhere else even if other places are 20-30 quid cheaper.

It's not the most trustworthy source but Wikipedia has it listed as having a 8gb card.

Hi HTC's website shows it comes with a 8gb micro sd

It shows a picture of a 8GB micro-sd card. It doesn't say it is supplied with one

The following feature list is from Clove

That wasn't there a couple of days ago so I guess they added it as a result of my (and others?) question.

T-Mobile got the Desire also with 4GB listed.

So I think 4GB it is!

Alot of ppl have gotten their handsets now, so what is the answer to this topic?

I got my handset Saturday morning and it ships with a 4gb card.

Yup, I second chris.semple.
My Desire from T-Mobile came with a 4GB card pre-installed.

Standard T-Mo ships with a 4GB Sandisk Class *2* card - not the fastest thing in a memory slot so would suggest spending a few bob on an 8GB Class 6 (~£15) - makes a lot of difference when copying vids etc from PC to Desire.

From Slashgear review:
The Desire has 512MB of ROM and 576MB of RAM, and takes up to 32GB microSDs; there’ll be an 8GB card in the retail box.

Hoping 8GB is right, and that's what I've read the HTC people telling review-sites around the time it was launched too.

Size of the SD card is down to the retailer/network, this has been said multiple times.

What is the maximum memory these phones can take?

32 Gb if you can find one

I believe it's 32GB
Ahh pipped to the post by the chap above! Sandisk have recently just announced a 32GB card a few days ago with a retail price of approx $200
So that means they'll be quite expensive here as well!!

Mine has also arrived with a 4Gb card installed.

4GB MicroSDHC with HTC Touch ?

Can the HTC Touch take 4GB MicroSDHC cards?
i heard that the newer ppc's should support it. I hope im right
anyone else know anything about this?
The specifications for the HTC Touch says it supports the standard "SD 2.0". This standard includes SDHC (Cards from 4-32gb), and have seen a few users say they are using a 4gb card in their touch (search will reveal who).
Here (DK) the only 4gb MicroSDHC card available is Class 2, so I wont be going for the 4gb (or 8gb for that matter) card until I can get atleast Class 4, preferably Class 6.
You can read more about SDHC in general on wikipedia.
Hi,i'm actually using 4gb microsd HC from SanDisk.
Everything work perfect without any problem.
Mine Touch have Italian software but i don't think different language firmware could have limitations about memory size....i hope
Bye.

you said that you have a 4Gb Card.
were did you buy it?
Tanks
Hi,from ebay the object number is :160135130187 but maybe now you'll find more than this model cause the demand is growning......and maybe the price will be lower.
8 gb sdhc actually used in a touch, anybody ?
has anybody actually used an 8 gb micro sdhc card in a touch yet?
i know there was some discussion about the availability of this size card, and that it was available for quite a few pounds(dollars for me), and i believe someone had purchased it, but never really heard of the results.
if someone has please post, and please let us know where it was purchased and for how much. also, if outside us whether you know if it can be delivered to the usa.
thanks in advance

Did you test the card? E.g. fill it up to over 2gb, like 2.5gb and then see if the phone writes on it etc. 'Cause the picture on Ebay appears different from the one that Verizon carries which should be the real one.
It is good that it works on the Touch, since I just ordered a Touch. I've tested my card, it works flawlessly on the TyTN and I filled it up to test.
Test done
Just end the fill up test on SDHC 4 gb,no problem it works
I've made some copy of 98mb files and also 2 copy of tomtom map file (about 518mb) now memory info report just 84.03 mb free and 3794.47 used of 3878.50 total space on microSd card.
Thank to Doni for suggest me the test.
Pls guys forgive my poor english.
Using sandisk hdsc 4gb card for a week now in my touch and works like a charm. Can't wait for the 8gb lol! bought on amazon. these cards are hard to locate.

how significant is class 2 and class 6 micro sdhc cards? compared to the standard 50x micro sd cards.
the class 6 micro sd sdhc doesnt come cheap but the class 2 and class 4 seems reasonable..
I got the 4GB Sandisk card today and it works well.
£29.99 including p&p on play.com at the minute....
Damnit, knew I should have waited...

That's a SD not a SDHC card. It will still work though.
You can get the 4Gb SDHC card on eBay for £32 and you also get a Micro SD to SD Card Adapter and a SDHC USB Card reader in with the price

The fact that its 4GB means it has to be SDHC... The HC stands for High Capacity
maybe not.
there is a 4gb sd and 4gb sdhc.
have just got a 4GB SDHC Micro Sd card from Amazon including an sd to micro adapter and a sandisk micromate (adapter type thing not used yet) for £24.95 + p+p in total came to less than £30.
Works fine for me so far despite HTC telling me they only support 2 GB cards, mine is an MDA touch from Tmonile but I dont think that will make much difference.

No he's right. On research I find SD only goes up to 2Gb. The SDHC uses FAT32 file system to be able allow higher capacities. 8Gb card coming out next year.
Anyway, for me extra 2 squids I got a couple of adaptors.

memory

Hey does anyone know if the 6 GB memory will work on the HTC Mogul 6800..?
If your Mogul supports the 4GB micro SDHC cards, it should support the 6GB as well. There aren't too many of the 6GB cards around yet, but I've read that a few people here are expecting to receive some this week, so they will let us know of any issues.
6Gb and 8Gb SDHC and MicroSDHC
Guys,
We've seen the first of the 6Gb and 8Gb SDHC range.. For commercial reasons, no names mentioned, but there are still some QA issues with the new high density cards.. Probably best to steer away from the 6Gb and 8Gb SDHC devices for at least another month until the bugs get ironed out!!
As a rule of thumb it seems that the memory card manufacturers take a while to get the build quality right on each new density they release....
Thanks

16GB SD Card compatible?

I am thinking of getting this SanDisk Ultra® II SDHC 16GB High Performance Card found here:
http://apac.sandisk.com/Products/It...Ultra_II_SDHC_16GB_High_Performance_Card.aspx
How do I know if this is a cat4 or cat6 SD Card. Will I be able to fully utilize the 16GB SD card on the Elfin? Compatibility issues?
Anyway whats the largest capacity SD Card that the Elfin supports?
hi
i have kingston 4GB and is working in my HTC 3452
God please... you know what're writing
you need MICRO SD - no SD !
the biggest capacity of micro SDHC is 8gb and it's working fine
lol
Oh woops! So the Elfin uses microSD card lol...
In that case how does this SanDisk Mobile Ultra microSD card go with the Elfin. Is it a cat4 or cat 6 card?
http://apac.sandisk.com/Products/It...-SanDisk_Mobile_Ultra_microSDHC_8GB_Card.aspx
Or should I go for the Kingston one...,
http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/con...ack=http://www.kingston.com&ktcpartno=SD6/8GB
Does anyone know if the Kingston 16GB class4 microSD work with the Elfin?
I heard that the Elf can work with 4GB max, is the Elfin different? Are u sure the 8GB microSD is working correctly??
Yes, it works perfect. I am using 8GB for 6 months without problems. Theoretical, it can works with a 32GB card, but as jackolus said, there is only 8 GB on the market.
From what I've researched before purchasing the phone, it can support up to 32GB in MicroSD, the Elfin, not sure if the Elf does the same.
non-sdhc cards ended with 4gb
i don't know, if there are any special builded cards arround with 6gb or 8gb without sdhc...
up to 4gb there is only sdhc.
it was created to enable sized up to 32gb.
so every mashine, that can read sdch-standart should be enable to handle cards up to 32gb...in theory...
ELF should be enabled as well...
but i think, it's also a kind of politics.
it won't lasst more than 1 year from now on, then there will come a new sdhc2.0 standart or something else, and all the people must bye new mashines, phones and readers if they want to have space that's bigger than 32gb...
...i saw it in my crystal ball
Yeah Elf should support 32 G MicroSDHC cards.
I'm waiting for 16G to come out this month or next.
Running an 8G now in my ELF.
32G regular SDHC, not micro also came out this month.
I know someone using an 8 gig micro sdhc on their touch elf. I seriously considered buying one as I am only using a 4 gig micro sdhc however has recently decided to wiat for the 16 gig to come out. 16 gigs would be so much nicer on my phone then 8 gigs.
yes, 16gb micro sd cards work. http://www.mobymemory.com/micro-SD.asp
64GB

I believe that I have read somewher that 32 gig is the biggest for SDHC. Anything bigger will be a whole new class of card and will not be supported by our devices. By the time 64 gig is released, we will probably not even be using our current devices anyways. It takes to damn long for the bigger cards to come out.
I dont think we will see 64g till 2011
& thats when the new PS4 will be out too
for now enjoy the 16g card out in nov

I have Att Fuze
works great
Took longer then I was told, but it finally came in. Sandisk 16 gig class 2 Micro SDHC - I stuck in in to make sure it was real and sure enough - Just over 15 gig's registered on my device as free space. Now to fill it up. I am a very happy camper and it cost less then $100.00 Canadian - I am the first person in my area to get one - even most of the people at the local shops - "The Source", Almost every computer shop and electronic's store still say you can't get them that big, but I went in and showed them today - they couldn't believe it. Man, what are they doing working / running these shops if they don't / can't even keep up with technology. It's just too bad I had to wait this long. Oh well, I have it now and so far it works great.
Edit: I just uploaded my backup of my original four gig card and loaded it up on my device and guess what. It works great - Actually - Loading times are faster now for movies, Music and programs installed on the card. I am an even happier camper now.

WTF only a 2gb Card Included

I know they are dirt cheap now, but why in the world would Softbank decide to only include a 2gb card? Its practically insulting - especially being in Japan when one gets used to having access to almost anything.
Japanese:
microSDHC™カード(2GB同梱)
English: microSDHC™Card(2GB In package)

Maybe its just a typo? or they are not exactly sure how much, so they speculated 2GB

Not too likely. Its Japan. They will never write something official unless they are sure (99% of the time). Then again, its just like Softbank to try and make an extra buck or two by cutting corners. Im just happy Japan is finally getting a decent android phone - and lucky to have it coming to my carrier.
Funny thing is, docomo is releasing a 4" android device sometime too, funny that its only got 1.6 running tho.
It's down to the retailer which SD card they bundle, if they want to ship it with a 2GB card then they can.

Don't give Orange ideas!
Although knowing them they'll probably leave the SD card out completely!
a 4GB card in the one I got from CPW in the UK.
Yes, I thought CPW 4gb was stingey... I guess I should count myself lucky.
To be honest the CPW 4gb is a class 2 card anyway, which is a bit crap... so I put in the 8gb class 6 I already owned.
Anyone know what size T-Mobile are supplying? As others have said it doesn't really matter as I have an 8GB class 6 in my G1 just waiting to be swapped out on Tuesday (D-day for me).
2GB is fine, the memory cards of that size are peanuts and its better to have a memory card with the phone then non at all. I have a HTC desire and just ordered another one, i have not got any memory card with either
4Gb in T-mo, got mine yesterday
I suspect Orange will supply 4GB aswell like they did with my SE C905.
T-mobile supplied a 4GB card. The only problem is that it is Class 2. Doesn't matter at the moment but when the phone is eventually "rooted" a Class 6 or better card would be preferred.
Yeah they wont supply higher class cards with the phone, but I seen a 8GB transcend class 6 card for £15 on some sites so not too bad.

64 gig micro SD cards and cell phone compatability

I'm a droid x user and I'm starting to run out of room on my 32 gig micro SD card bc I have a ton of music, I take lots if pics, and I take tons of videos. I have an upgrade soon and I was interested in the HTC Rezound, but I noticed it still only supports a 32 gig micro SD. Are there any phones out there that currently support 64 gig micro SD cards that I could upgrade to instead?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA
there are some devices that support 64gb sdxc. if you check the atrix section you will find. in theory all android should support it if one of them supports it.
seen confirmation on another site wont post the link as i am not sure as too the rules on this but they said this last september
"They might not be cheap coming in around $219 for now, the SanDisk Micro SDXC cards offer a huge storage limit of 64GB all in the size of a fingernail. After we ran the news of the new cards we quickly learned that many smartphones including the Samsung Galaxy S II, HTC Sensation 4G, ASUS Transformer tablet and more all work with 64GB MicroSDXC cards. There are also reports that they are working on many older devices for those wondering. Some include the EVO 4G, original Galaxy S, and even the HTC Desire Z (aka T-Mobile G2). With both old and new, smartphones and tablets being able to take advantage of the 64GB SD cards this is a good sign many more will have the same fate. We can only assume manufacturers didn’t state SDXC support because none were out on the market at time of launch, or maybe there are other reasons yet unknown."
quite a while ago, they also posted a screenshot
a 64gb sdxc costs around $100, last time i checked.
its arround $100 to $150
