Easy installation, fast read and write, works with my cell phone, plug and play.
I own a pantech duo phone and saw that there was a slot for a micro SD card. i started to look around and found newegg’s kingston 2gig card, i was so happy to receive this in the mail i opened it up and put it into my phone, the only problem was that my finger’s (without fingernails) were to big to click the card into place (not the cards fault but the phone’s) after using a small screwdriver the card clicked into place and after a quick phone restart the card was active, i even found out that i can drag and drop files and media using the “activesync” software that came with the phone. i even put a 110mb .pdf doc onto the phone and it copied and wrote to the card in under 6 mins. now i can put all my music and movies onto my phone and watch them when i’m at work ;).

It’s fast and reliable! I transfer 1gb worth of files to it all at once and it only takes about 1-2min on mac. I used this memory card specifically for Nintendo DS roms for NSDTT. Works great and haven’t had a problem with it and I doubt I ever will! It’s small and delicate but it won’t be breaking that easily, you’d really have to put some wear and tear on this thing to really even break it.

Turned my Motorola KRZR into an mp3 player/flash drive/digital camera that I can plug into my computer. Easy installation and comes with an adapter to regular SD size, but I don’t need that for my purposes. You can’t beat the price for this capacity microSD. Just make sure you don’t need a case, or can get a plastic case for it for cheap if you need one.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Did not burn any $3.30 a gallon gas to go 60 miles to Wally World to pay double for this card plus tax. Product works perfect and shipping was standard 3 days from Newegg to Florida as usual. Save your self gas money and buy it for less than half price right at Amazon.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Side note, I did NOT select the rush order selection when having this sent Monday, but for some reason I got charged $2.99 for a rush order, and I didnt know until I saw the invoice. I did recieve it Wednesday mid-afternoon though. Not that big of a deal but I did not NEED a 2GB MicroSD that fast. You take what you get though.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Purchased for my Motorola v365 didn’t realize phone only supports 1G will definitely order 1G version. For now it works great in my digital camera. It’s bad when an order placed three days ago beats a clothing order placed a week ago.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:25 pm
This card does what it’s supposed to do. Seems pretty fast compared to some of the SD cards I’ve used in the past. USPS = Slowest shipping ever/lost item! Pay the extra 3 bucks for UPS, it’s worth it. New Egg re-sent a new card to me for free after the first was lost in the mail. No questions asked. Excellent service New Egg!
August 1st, 2008 at 1:25 pm
This is a great card that has decent storage space for my new cell. My T-Mobile Shadow recognized it instantly. The adapter is a nice bonus allowing me to add music to the card via my laptop at faster speeds
August 1st, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Great Card! Awesome Deal! I used it in my Motorola V3xx and it works flawlessly. I also bought a Motorola S9 Bluetooth stereo Headset with the card, and I couldn’t be happier with any other mp3 player.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:26 pm
You need to study up on your memory storage technology. Magnets don’t affect this type of memory; they are not built like hard drives. And even hard drives have very strong magnets built right into the drive and most are magnetically shielded. It would take a very strong magnet (one you probably don’t have) to cause any problems. Case in point - Read this article: http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,116572-page,1/article.html “”A magnet powerful enough to disturb the electrons in flash would be powerful enough to suck the iron out of your blood cells,”" The case is fine. Use it.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:27 pm
With a Kingston product you really can’t go wrong. There undisputed reputation and quality is one for the history books. I’ve owned this product for about 3 months now and had not one problem with it. IT works great in my phone (VX9900) flawlessly. There is also no problem transferring pics or songs to and from my computer. Although I’ve never had a problem with any flash memory I have bought, I have always purchased Kingston, so that may be why.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:27 pm
It looks really nice and works flawlessly. Installing it is pretty simple if you know what you’re doing. Of course, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how to install the HDD. You really can’t use the case that it comes with because it uses magnets. Magnets = Loss of information, duh.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:27 pm
One of the best micro sd cards out there for the price unbeatable…. i bought two of these for my blackjack 2 phones that me and the wife have. went in without a hitch and i now have tons of storage for songs pictures and videos!!!
August 1st, 2008 at 1:28 pm
It works great for what I bought it for. My Palm Centro detected it fine and shows 1.9 Gb of free space. I would definitely buy this brand again becuase I know it works on my phone. Great price at the time I bought it.
I think I over aimed on the size. I only have half full but that just means I don’t need a new one … Yet! Transfer speed is pretty slow but I have never used an SD card before and I imagine they are all pretty slow. The only time I notice it is when downloading new stuff from the computer or synching. I don’t really notice when using it in the phone.
It seems pretty reliable. I have used it for about 2 1/2 months without any problems. I constantly access music and files off of it.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:29 pm
I bought this for my wife’s blackberry pearl. Transfer to and from isn’t all that fast, but I think that’s a problem with the pearl. She can store twice as many audiobooks now.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Is a good an cheap memory if you dont want to spend a lot on phone memory i have it on my motorola SLVR L7c and Blackberry pearlworks great i can store basically countless photos and video i have my whole music library on it as well… sometimes when my phone battery dies i turn it back on it doesnt read it anymore but by turn off and back on it solves by itself like nothing happened
August 1st, 2008 at 1:30 pm
The card works great with and without the adapter. I got it for 1 phone and 1 mp3 player, and it worked perfectly in both (Samsung BlackJack and Sansa Express)
August 1st, 2008 at 1:30 pm
This card was a perfect to go along with my Blackberry curve, I have two movies on this this in .avi and about 4 ablums , and lots of space left.
on time I was playing a movie and I got a error cant find file, a restart of the movie seem to solve that issue.
Keep bringing the low price items, they work just as good as the hight price items, most user dont really care what in the system once it works.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:31 pm
I use it in my cell phone mostly for data transfer. Not sure how quickly it might affect someone using it on a constant basis. From past experiences with the brand, Kingston tends to be on par with expected speeds.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:31 pm
The card is at a very good price. It is more than three times this price at some of the stores near me. So far it has been reliable, and based on my other kingston products I expect it to be so for quite some time.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:32 pm
As I said, it works fine with my Motorola V3t and W490 phones. Cheap but high quality and it works well, very very well.
Haven’t had any DOA from Kingston products
August 1st, 2008 at 1:32 pm
All cards (3 of 3) work very well. Especially in my Sansa e260, which leaves plenty of room for videos. Can’t get technical since I’m not a techie,but highly recommend this card to anyone who uses Micro SD cards for MP3 players, etc.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Since this isn’t a “con” I will put this tidbit here. Wish I could buy the Micro SD without the SD adapter. I now have three Micro cards and three adapters. Oh well!
August 1st, 2008 at 1:33 pm
I bought this product for my T-Mobile Shadow. The Shadow picked up the Mini SD card right away and has worked great for all my needs. I am very satisfied with the price and product.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:34 pm
It works perfectly with my Canon SD750, and my old school Rosewill USB SD Card reads it well. I popped it straight into 2 Dell laptops (Inspiron 710/700) with built-in SD card readers and none of them recognize this card. -_-
August 1st, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Works Perfectly!! This is the second one of these I have gotten and both work great. One in my GPS, the other was for my niece in her phone for Christmas and we have neither one had ANY problems!! Not sure why they include the adaptor since a SD card is cheaper than a MicroDC???
August 1st, 2008 at 1:34 pm
I bought two of them. The size is tiny but feels pretty sturdy. They work for my Nokia 6085 cells phone and Sandisk Sansa e250 MP3/MP4 viewer. Now I can listen MP3 music or watch video on my cell phone or on the Sansa e250.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:35 pm
this micro card has been in my cellphone LG260(RUMOR)for the last two weeks. I was initially worried about added power consumption from the phones battery but it has not made a bit of difference and I use the card regularly. the speed of the card is decent, and the price is, well, you know, UNBEATABLE! it comes with the SD adapter card for seamless versatility. Good buy!
August 1st, 2008 at 1:35 pm
I’ve never had a problem with newegg before. Actually most of the time they exceed my expectations, but for some reason it took 10 days for me to get this card. order on Dec28 didn’t get it till Jan8. Otherwise buy a couple of these cards their awesome.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:36 pm
I bought a 1GB Kingston MicroSD card about 1 1/2 years ago which works fabulously, even to this day. My 1GB is Japanese-made, and the 2GB is Taiwanese made. Additionally, the MicroSD -> SD adaptor on my 1GB had a shiny sticker label in a recessed label area, whereas the 2GB had a printed cover without a sticky label or any repressed area for a label. The 2GB was just overall of lower quality. I think I’ll trust Kingston as long as I get a Japanese-made card.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Good transfer speeds, plenty of space even at maxed-out settings on a 12MP camera (over 450 pics). Compact memory easy to store / share between devices.
Due to the size, be careful that you don’t LOSE the teeny microSD portion of the card. Size may be considered limited these days, but great value for the price.
Thoughts: Great pair with our new FinePix f50FD 12MP camera - plenty of space and forward-compatibile with future generations of devices that will use microSD natively. Once again, NewEgg undercut the local shopkeep - but this time at a difference of $16.99 to $69.99! Sick!
August 1st, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Read my ‘Cons’ part first to better understand my scenario. Pros (when tested on the Blackberry Pearl): It worked, what else is there to say about a memory card?
Cons: I have an LG CU500 with the following specs: DM Client Version: Version 1.1 Hardware Version: CU500 1.2 Firmware Version: 1.0 Software Version: Aug-03-2006-CW-US The card does not need to be formatted before you use it. I was getting a ‘Card Not Ready’ error. Unsure if it was the phone or the card, I tried it in another LG CU500 and it still didn’t work. I tried it in my coworkers Blackberry Pearl and it worked without a hitch. After reading on the forums, which I should have read before purchasing, it turns out the LG CU500 is limited to 1GB cards.
Hope I was able to help since I’d like to save others the trouble of getting a great card that simply won’t work in a phone that limits it’s capabilities to 1GB by design.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Got it while it was on holiday special $19 bucks with $2-3 MIR… been eye-ing this for a while now; as other Kingston Flash memory I own, good built quality, consistent performance.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Works like a champ in my Samsung 610 telephone even though the manual says that it maxes out at 1 gig. I’m tempted to try out the new 6 or 8 GB micro SD chip in my phone but don’t want to fork out $ 7 0 bucks to find out.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:39 pm
The price is great for the quality of this card. It’s a standard MicroSD, so it doesn’t sport the higest possible transfer speeds, but who cares when it’s just for a phone!
Compared to getting this card in a store, you are saving a lot of money; and then the rebate!!
August 1st, 2008 at 1:39 pm
Same card costs 60 plus tax locally so well worth picking up. I am using in a Nokia 6126 and it works perfectly. No need to format comes pre setup and ready to go, just drop in a pc reader with the included SD to MicroSD adapter and load some files.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:40 pm
2 gigabytes smaller than a contact lens. Wow. :-/
Too small. Why couldn’t they stick to standard SD? Felt flimsy when I had to insert it into my Palm Centro, and took about 20 insertions to get device to recognize it.
This is a lame “standard”. Seriously. Should’ve stuck to standard SD size. Also mail-in rebate period expired just a couple days after I got the card, so didn’t have time to get my three bucks back. :-/
August 1st, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Works great. Not much for it to do, it just has to work, and with my cell phone, an LG VX9900, and my pc, XP, it works flawlessly. I did find it for less elsewhere, but with shipping costs, it came close to being the same price, and I will always choose Newegg over a competitor unless the savings are SIGNIFICANT.
My sandisk SD card has converters for both SD and Mini SD, this card just comes with an SD converter. It should not be an issue though, as SD readers are more common than MiniSD, unless you hope to swap it between devices that use Mini.
Kingston is a great brand for flash memory. I normally go with Sandisk first, then Lexar, then Kingston, but this one had the best price, and the difference in those 3 makers, in my experience, is negligible enough for me to choose this one.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:41 pm
First one only formated to 1GB in my phone. Thought it was the phone, and threw away the packaging. Gave the other one to my son and it locked up his PC before he could format it. Looked at the first one in my PC and it still would only format to 1GB.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:41 pm
So after upgrading to the Blackjack I thought, why have a mp3 player when my phone can do all of these things for me. I bought this one, which is cheap and you cant get more spending more money they all do the same, and I use it as storage to listen to music, record videos and take pictures. Also if you look it up you can transfer everything your windows mobile does to it. So your phone memory wont kill you. Thats what I did and I cant say how happy I am. I navigate the net with it a lot and I filled the little memory in weeks. So I got this transferred every temp file in the registry and wollah. So much better. Do this now.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:42 pm
After formatting this Micro card in my cell phone I lost over a Gigabyte of space on my card. My card would only show 958MB of free space. My phone, I guess, only supports up to 1 Gig cards. This was frustrating none-the-less. I tried reformatting on my computer to see if that would do it but nothing worked. After contacting Kingston they sent me this link: http://www.sdcard.org/about/downloads/ I downloaded, installed, and used that program and it restored my card to its original 1.87 GB. Awesome! So if anyone runs into this problem theres the tool to fix it!
August 1st, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Fast shipping, easy to format, works as advertised, SD Card adapter works too. $3.00 rebate OK.
Slow in my Sansa e260, takes about one minute to read card every time I turn e260 on. Time and cost of mail in rebate nearly wipes out rebate, should have been an instant rebate. Give it 5 stars because of price and the fact that it works very well. I would recommend it to anyone.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:43 pm
Great capacity for the price, inherent microSD form factor (so tiny!), comes with a normal SD-sized adapter for use in SD card readers or SD card applications (cameras, MP3 players, etc).
Seems to be a bit unstable in my LG VX8700 phone; sometimes the card appears to be removed (which is impossible without removing the back casing and battery…and I have never dropped my phone, ever) and all data on it disappears from phone (music, photos, etc). It requires removal and reinsertion of the card before it appears normally. No data is lost, but as you can probably guess, this is quite irritating. This has happened about three times so far (in the two weeks I’ve had the card).
The ‘unsupported’ comment in the review title is regarding drivers, my laptop’s built in SD card reader wasn’t able to read/format the card. When I first got the card, I was wondering why and came across some notes here and there (mainly on Newegg) about older drivers/hardware not supporting microSD cards larger than 1GB. I have no idea why (2GB is still not SDHC), but that’s what the problem seems to be (perhaps in the microSD => SD adapter technology?). However, my brother was able to get his to work in an old RCA Lyra MP3 player that he got about four years ago….and the adapter in my work laptop (newer than my home laptop) supports it as well. Maybe I’m just unlucky? Other than the slight instability issue, this is one great card. Even comes with a rebate on top of the low price.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:43 pm
Hard to believe so much data capacity in such a small device. I have never had problems with Kingston memory products (desktop and notebook RAM, SD flash memory). They just work when you plug them in.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:43 pm
Nice price, even though I may have been caught between rebates. I rarely fool with under $5 anyway. Popped it in my iPaq 510 Voice Messenger, and there it was. Took it out, put it in the SD adapter, put it in the card reader (on XP) and dumped 123 Meg of music, which I’m now listening to. It took about 3 min. That’s about normal for SD memory, even standard size. When people understand that mass memory is advertised in 10*9B/GB and shown on the system as 107741824B/GB there will be a lot less discontent over flash and HDD memory size. That’s standard marketing technique.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Cheap…even if you don’t get the 3 dollar rebate. It works! Some people said the adapter doesn’t work… well mine works fine :D. Maybe just a bad batch. You are getting a mini SD and a regular SD with this! great deal
I use it in my samsung a737.. works perfectly. showing up as just under 2 gig’s but who cares close enough. I mainly use this for songs on my phone so i don’t have to carry ipod. Adapter works and i can transfer files! Havn’t tried in a digi camera yet.. but i will!
August 1st, 2008 at 1:44 pm
It’s a microSD card! It works with my phone! Now I have music to go! Umm… Other than being extatic about actually having the thing, it’s pretty nice. 2 gigs is roomy, esp. for music. (Phone is an LG Chocolate V.2) A few days after I first got it, I dropped my phone, and I had to take it out and pop it back in for the phone to recognise it. Not sure whose problem this is, but it was just a minor annoyance. Hasn’t done that in a few months, at least, even with continued droppage of the phone.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:45 pm
Ordered this for my T-Mobile Wing, popped it in, and voila… 2GB of storage goodness! Copying data to and from the media is fast as well. Quite the steal for the price.
For some reason, my Wing would use about 3MB of RAM when I put this in my phone. Formatted the card to FAT (as opposed to FAT32) and now my phone only uses 0.5MB. No change in speed though, which rocks.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:45 pm
Be warned that Kingston set very strict mail-in rebate restriction that rebate “Must be postmarked within 14 days of purchase”. So basically one has ONLY about 7-10 days to send the rebate papers or Kingston will deny the request. Although this is clearly stated on the rebate form (in small print), it is unusually short period for rebate submission. Since rebate form for previous promotion is no longer available on NewEgg product page (only current one), it is easy to overlook this restriction and miss the opportunity to send the rebate on time. Something that Kingston and Amazon may consider changing.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Doesn’t work in Samsung Blast phone. Not once was it mentioned over the web about the problem. The first time it is accessed, all songs, img are visible. The second time all are gone! Can’t move image to memory card etc.
Transfer rate is not very high compared to jump drive and/or SD memory. Maybe it is kingston memory. I once owned two 1GB CF and they are slow … well, they don’t fail as other memories though.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:46 pm
The microSD works great on my phone and mp3 player. I have a Samsung SGH-T519 and a sansa c250 mp3 player and both it works great. I am so happy I bought this, and even happier when i saw it was 2X the price at a couple of local name brand stores. If you need the space on your phone or mp3 player buy this. I am really happy with this purchase and with my experience so far I will keep buying stuff from Newegg
August 1st, 2008 at 1:47 pm
This item has a lot of storage for a low price. When shopping for a new phone the memory available at sprint was 2X the price of the Kingston and the sprint memory had no warranty! A great bonus was the adapter so I can plug it into a card reader to transport photo/audio/video to the phone. Great feature.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:47 pm
I got this for my new Nokia N75 to give it some more space for music, pictures, movies, etc. Kingston is a VERY good brand name, and for this price, it is amazing that I could get a MicroSD card with a regular SD card for the same price. You can look at stores such as CompuUSA and never find a price this good. If I wanted to, I could now record a video on my phone for up to 1 hour, at 2MP quality! Amazing little thing for such a great price.

This card has trouble getting recognized by Windows Media Player. I updated my Sansa and now the card won’t show up at all, and it will never show up in My Computer. WMP sees it as two different devices, which is annoying. Every time I start my Sansa it has to refresh the information on the microSD card, which takes 3 minutes if the card is full.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:48 pm
I lost my old microSD adapter and I thought it was a good excuse to get a new mem card. However my cell (LG VX8300) keeps losing its connection with it. I store all my wallpapers, pics and music on my card and every once in a while the phone will go back to the default wallpaper and won’t play my music. My old Sandisk 1Gig card works flawlessly and I am thinking of going back to it 100%. As of this date, I’m using the latest software on the cell.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Same as you heard from everyone else, 2 gigs, cheap, and works on my Samsung sync.
When using the full sized SD adaptor, the built-card reader on my HP desktop isnt able to read the card. I called up kingstons support line and they told me those readers cant read past 1 gig without extra drivers. Thats kinda a pain especially since i couldnt find any drivers from HP, so i have to get something else to transfer music from CPU to my phone. Not really kingstons fault except i wish they woulda told me that pre-purchase.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Works great. A good amount of memory for low cost. Plus the bonus SD card adapter. No problems with it thus far.
200 megs are reserved so you are really buying 1.8 GB of memory. This isn’t really a con, more of an aside, when a micro sd card is inserted at boot up it will always say refreshing databatase, even if you didn’t change anything on the card. I have my card filled and it only takes 5 extra seconds. I am using this with my Sansa E250R. It works great under Ubuntu. I just plugged in the micro sd card and attached the player to my computer, then 2 drives show up, the micro sd and the player. Made a folder called music and I was good to go.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:50 pm
This product amazes me in many ways, the size of it alone will stun you with the fact that it has a 2GB capacity. Works flawlessly with my Sansa E250 MP3 player. This is extremely cheap, 8 months ago I payed MORE money than this on a 512mb full sized SD card!
A little slow, it took 12 minutes to transfer roughly 600mb worth of songs whereas it took but 5 with the internal flash on my MP3 player. This isnt so much an issue for me because I dont do alot of file swaping, however it may be for others, which is why I rated it as only 4 eggs. Other than this, I am completely satisfied.
Its literally the size of the nail on my index finger, just slightly longer and slightly narrower.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:50 pm
I’ve ordered 6 of these over the past few months. Of those 6 I had one fail. Probably my fault, trying to take it out of a phone with out turning the phone off first. My RMA was approved with no hesitation by NewEgg and was processed very quickly. I highly recommend this brand and as always can not say enough about how wonderful NewEgg is with speed and reliability in all that they offer.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:50 pm
A definite pro is the low price. Just the fact that it’s Kingston lets you know it is great. This card works flawlessly in my Samsung U540 cell phone and allows for picture, video and MP3 storage. Fast access times and good performance. The SD adapter that comes with it is very convenient and allows me to transfer pictures and stuff back and forth between my phone, PDA, laptop and desktop without having to carry around any cables or use annoying software.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:51 pm
Bought for my Samsung Upstage to add storage. The card was recognized as 1.9 gb and after compressing some of my mp3 I was able to fit over 500 songs on the card with some room left over for pictures and everything else. I have yet to run into any problems, at 25 dollars with shipping you cannot beat this deal, they are between 40-60 at retail stores.
I had a slight problem with formatting after my card reader had some issues, the phone formatted the card back to 1gb, but after reformatting using my laptop card reader… I was able to get the original 2gb back, I believe this is an issue with the phone only supporting 1gb. But if you do everything with a card reader and then insert the card after all your data is stored, the phone will recognize all 2gb,
I wish my phone had more microSD slots, I wouldn’t mind having a 10gb mp3 player on my phone, at 25 a pop I could just buy a few and switch them out though.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:51 pm
This SD card was an extreme disappointment. I purchased this card to expand the memory in my Sansa express, which was never able to recognize it. Tried to use the card as a thumb drive and it took my computer 30 sec to a min to recognize it. Going with SanDisk next time, I hope I don’t have the same problem.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:52 pm
Works with the Verizon LG enV, even though the instructions said 1GB max. (I figured I could use it in a KRZR if it didn’t work.) Both phones see the full capacity without jumping through hoops. The speed when used on a laptop was equivalent to normal SD, which is pretty quick on my system. Besides, it’s Kingston and they’ve always been good to me in the past. Oh, and Newegg’s price was great compared to the others.
Other people aren’t kidding. If you are clumsy, have cats in your lap, kids running around, fans going, or anything else, you probably don’t want to be moving the card around. It’s so darned small that I had to watch carefully while I tried to orient it correctly in my fingers to insert it. (I’m used to jabbering and watching other things while moving things around by feel.)
August 1st, 2008 at 1:52 pm
Quality product, excellent packaging from a major manufacturer. MicroSD used in Nokia 6126 phone, recognized and formatted with no problems. Full 2GB recognized by Nokia phone. Price including shipping was great. More impressive was speed in which Newegg processed and shipped the order. I received the package 36 hours after placing the order using standard shipping.
Nokia wanted much more for less memory and said other MicroSD cards wouldn’t work. I was impressed with the speed at which the order was processed. The product was ordered 10:30 in the evening, on the truck the next day and at my doorstep the same time my email invoice arrived.

Tons of memory. gives me 80 minutes of video recording on my digital camera (when used with the adapter) or a whopping something like 33 hours of video on my camra phone. fast delivery. nice holding case for the cards. works great in my LG 8600 phone.
i dont know if its a card design flaw with the lg8600 or the 8600 itself but when you first put the mirco sd card into the phone you will not be able to take it out easily! it will startle you at first. the card snags on something in the phone. you need to use a flat peace of paper to get it out by blocking the snag. youll see what i mean.

cheap, fast enough for ppc, stable, loads of capacity. loaded all 1.3gb of iguidance maps on it with room to spare. after loading all programs and setting all browsers to store their cache on the card, even after an extended week’s use, i still have over 300mb of space left, which is enough for a full length feature film. best performance/dollar value hands down.

Perfectly reliable memory. Got the card, inserted in my Samsung i607 Blackjack. Works like a charm. Very fast data transfer from the computer to the card and visa-versa. It actually couhgt my attention that it was taking and moving data so quickly. I dumped 1.5 gigs of high bit rate music (like 14-16 albums at CD transparent audio) on the card in about 10 minutes. The memory operates as it should. Period.

MicroSD memory is tiny, about the size of the fingernail on your pinky, yet at 2GB this has roughly 40,000 times as much memory as my first computer and about 20,000 times as much storage as the old 5.25″ floppies. The current models only hold a fraction of what the forthcoming high-capacity models offer. For the rest of you who know what a 5.25″ floppy is, just think how old those will make you feel.

This Kingston 2GB card works with my Samsung SGH-D900 w/ firmware D900DXGA2. I can play hours and hours of 3GPP videos and Mp3s now. Using Magic Video Converter I can hold the entire series of Cowboy Bebop, FLCL and much more on this one card at the same time.
Works great on the LG-VX8300. Had 1.87gig when all formatted. Nothing else to say, but it worked like it was supposed to. Adapter worked great.
If you want to store ringtones, you need a sync cable. In order to add music, you need to put the card into your phone to allow the phone to format it. WMA files work fine too on the LG-VX8300

Really great card, especially for the price. Very fast transfer speed as well, but then again I have a top of the line pc, which may help. Very fast shipping as well. Ordered friday late afternoon 4:30 (EST) and I received it on Tuesday. I still cant belive i have 2 GB of storage in such a tiny little card!
I originally owned a Motorola SLVR for AT&T (Cingular)and formatting failed. It only supports up to 512 MB. But the Slvrs for AT&T are defective. I kept getting a text after checking voicemail. So annyoing! I looked into the Slvr for Verizon and it said it could format up to 2 GB. So if you have a Slvr for Verizon this should work. But Verizon doesnt work at my house, so I upgraded to the Blackberry Pearl for AT&T instead. Formating went smooth and now i have 1.87 GB of storage and i couldn’t be happier. Ipod and phone all in one. Sweetness!

T-mobile Dash reads 1.86 Gb which is normal. File transfer between the Dash and Vista is slow, I think it’s because of the Dash’s slow read and write rate and not the micro SD. So I insert the micro SD into it’s SD adapter, plug it into my card reader, immediately Vista cannot read the card and insist to format w/o specifying any details about the SD card. I agree to format it through Vista. As soon as it’s finished, 2GB micro SD is read as 1GB by Vista and my Dash. I cannot get Vista to read this as 2GB. I try formatting to FAT32, NTFS, and still 1GB. I’m extremely upset and almost RMA. Before I send it back for RMA, I try to get my phone to format the micro SD, but there’s no setting to do so (I’m running Mobile 6). I format it in Vista as NTFS hoping the Dash is unable to read it and requests to format, it works and I’m able to force the Dash to format it. Now I have 1.86 GB at my disposal. But I’m back with my initial incompatibility issue of this micro SD card and Vista
Maybe it’s not compatible Vista because of my card reader. I kind of doubt it because I’ve never had problems with it before. This micro SD from Kingston is cheap and pretty flimsy. I wouldn’t be surprised if other companies use this same card but rebrand it.

The guy with the vx8300 sounds like his problem is that he is using the older v1 firmware. If he were to upgrade to v3 he should be able to use all 2gb. His weird file listing is also due to the phones firmware. To check which firmware you have on the vx8300 dial #4357*4357 and scroll down to “SW Version”. If it ends in “01″ you have v1, if it ends in “03″ you have the updated v3 firmware. I bought the adata 2gb card for my vx8300 because at the time it had a slightly better price than this kingston. So I am unable to fairly comment on this cards pros/cons.
