This concerns me as a few of the others I am considering buying also have more maximum memory capacity. I read through the posts in this thread and as a smart phone newbie, I must confess I am a little overwhelmed with all the information. I am trying to decide if I should buy the samsung phone and the answer to the memory question will help me decide. Can someone post
(in smartphone-laymans terms--for someone who has slightly above average PC skills) understand the bottom line solution before I can decide on deciding whether or not I should buy this phone:
1) What is the SDHC hack specific for the i760 and what are the step by step instructions to load the hack?
OR
2) Can a 4GB chip be used as was mentioned in this previous post (see quote below)
---Does this quote mean the hack isn't neccessary afterall, and I just need to format the chip on my PC? Either way, please post steps to do this also..
Thank You

If you look several posts above you'll see Robrect say "As mentioned above, you only need to download extract and install the sdhc CAB file graciously provided by Nemanracing in Post #41 at the top of Page 3 of this thread. When done properly, that will allow your i760 to happily use all 4 GB of a SanDisk 4GB microSD HC card. No offense, but most Verizon employees couldn't guess their way out of petunia convention on the moon in the middle of winter". (Lol
)
The step by step way to get the hack working on your phone is the way way you'd install any
cab file (software that can be installed right FROM your phone as opposed to an
exe file that needs to be installed to your device on your laptop/PC through either ActiveSync or the Windows Vista Mobile Center that comes with it ). All you would need to do is
1) Download the cab file where nemanracer posted it as stated above on your laptop/PC. Extract the file if its a .rar (winrar) file, by doubling clicking on it, an moving to your desktop. From there/or if it just is the cab file (with the .cab extension on the end) itself and is not a winrar file that needs to be extracted then..
2) Copy and paste the file to your i760 either through ActiveSync if you have Windows XP or if you have Vista the Mobile Center that already comes on it. The way to do it on ActiveSync is to click "Explore" go to "Device ...." and paste it into either Safestore or your SD Card in there by right clicking and selecting paste.
3) Now go to your i760, use the File Explorer program (I assume its on there as I'm not planing on getting one) by going to Start-Programs-File Explorer and using that to navigate to Safestore or your SD Card, whichever place you decided to put the cab file.
4) Now use your stylus or click with the dpad on the sdhc.cab file, and it will ask you to install it to Device Safestore or your SD Card. Choose "Device".
5) Now restart by either clicking "Ok" if it asks you to restart, or put your stylus in the hole wherever it is located on the device or however you can soft reset/reboot your device. NOW you should be able to put any 4GB MicroSD Card into your i760 and it should work.
I don't believe you can get a 4GB MicroSD Card working in your device without the SDHC Hack as far as I know. Again, I don't have an i760 but that's what I saw based on peoples reports here.
