Accessories 32GB MicroSD Card?

i know there's a lot of fake chinese crap on ebay but these are being sold from the states. I'm tempted myself.

New 32GB Micro SD SDHC Memory Card 32 G GB MicroSD S32 - eBay (item 200481923275 end time Jul-10-10 08:14:41 PDT)


I ordered one of these and after taking 3 weeks to arrive, it turns out the card is a piece of crap. Not only did the adaptor not work at all, after one day of use, it began making things unreadable and causing random reboots. I was unable to view any pictures and after taking new photos with the camera, those pictures would be unviewable. Save yourself the money and pass.

Bought my 32GB card from Ebay - took 12 days to arrive.

The upside is price - $40 delivered.

The downside is it does not work in the TMO Mytouch Slide.

I can view the disk while it's in the Slide via USB to PC - I can reformat the disk (same way - FAT32), I can move files to it via USB - but I can't get the phone to recognize it.

Still playing with it trying to get it to work................... I was thinking there may be something up with the new MyTouch slide / OS ???????

Thanks for the heads up.

I downloaded the format utility referenced above (version 3.0 beta) - SD Formatter 3.0 (Beta) for SD/SDHC/SDXC - SD Association , formatted the flash - then as it was taking forever (erasing), pressed cancel. This caused it to cancel the erase process, and went directly to formatting. The card formatted (FAT32) in like 20 seconds.

I then power cycled my device (removed battery), and all is good. I'm now running a clean 32GB :cool: Thanks to the above for the idea. $40 is not all that bad :rolleyes:
