I've been searching through the forums and I haven't seen a mention to the SD card I am looking at. Given all the issues with compatibility and lack of info on the manufacturer's website, I am wondering if anyone out there can tell me whether they have been successful/unsuccessful using the Transcend Ulta Speed (150x) 4GB SD card with the i730 and WM5 - will it work? Will it see all 4GB?

Thanks for your input!

have mine up and running right now... it recognizes 3918mb which is normal

I too can verify that the Transcend 4GB card works great with the i730.

Another nice plus over some of the other SD cards out there is that the plastic casing is heavier and holds up much better to use over time.

Had mine for a couple of months now...no issues. I also checked and it is fast enough for Vista ReadyBoost if you ever want to move it to your laptop.

Have two of them and they are great. Now if only the 8 GB SD cards will work I will begin thinking about ditching the laptop

Thanks for all the responses!

This is the 150x card all of you are using? Transcend also looks to have an 80x card as well as some others and I'm just wary that I may end up with an incompatibility if I get a card that was designed for devices newer than the 730.

yep it has the 150x on the front of the card in a small circle on the right

Both of mine are the 150x

Yep, 150x here too.

Another 'No Problems Here' with the Transcend 150x.

My only beef is that it most likely won't fit into my next device, which all seem to be microSD. Oh, well, I can always retire it to the laptop for use as w/ Readyboost in Vista....

I just ordered mine. I will let you know how mine works... although I suspect I wont have any issues from what others say.

It will be nice to have more than 1 gig.... I am always having to delete files to make room for stuff.

MIne is 150x as well.

I've had a Trascend 4GB 150x SD card, as has my law partner, since approximately July. Neither one of us has had any problems with our respective cards. (oops, there, I probably jinxed it ).

Like Lee pointed out, though, my next PDA Phone probably will use microSD. Guess I can always turn my i730 into an expensive iPod substitute, though.

I have a transcend 4gb sd card, but it doesn't say anything about 150x... It just says HCSD... is that incompatible, because I can't get my phone to see it

SDHC = secure digital high capacity. This is a different format than SD and cant be read by the 730. This is why people are hunting for the specific transcend card as they are one of the VERY few that make a 4 gig card thats is not HC. Unfortunately, they make the sdhc variety also and they look similar.
