I don't think you will be able to use it in the i730, since it's HC... You might, but I doubt it...

Hey who cares give it a shot. If it works it works if it doesn't then oh well

According to SanDisk, that is not true. I haven't had the opportunity to test this out, but they say, without qualification, that any SDHC card (regular, micro, or mini) is based on a different spec than SD cards. Plain SD is FAT16 and SDHC is FAT32, so you need to match the device with the spec.

http://www.sandisk.com/Assets/File/pdf/retail/SDHC1.pdf

So, I tend to think we're still in the "wait and see" mode to determine whether the i760 supports SDHC.

I decided I'd try and be smart and go straight to the horse's mouth about this...What was I thinking?!
Here's what Samsung has to say about it:
"Dear Chris,


Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we are only able to provide information regarding models that are currently on the market for sale, as any pre-release information would be subject to change and could therefore be inaccurate at the time of launch. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thank you for your interest in Samsung products.

Sincerely,
Technical Support"

So the official answer to the SDHC issue is...wait and see.

How much memory do you need on a "tip calculator" ???????????

I am seeing prices of a 2gig micro SD for $35.00 at Best Buy. That's sounds real cheap.

2 gig cards, $21.14 on Amazon, with both adapters.

Do we still have an Amazon referral account?

Sleeve that's a good price on them. Originally buy.com had them for $25 on a special, and a few of us picked them up, which I currently have here at my house, waiting to get it's time to play in the i760.

Prices are around $35-40 for non-sale ones, but if you shop, you can find for $25 or less, and that is currently a good deal.

I am unaware of a referral account at Amazon.

Sleeve, there are 2 gigers on newegg.com for $16.99. cheers!

Guys--Thought you might find this link of interest:

4GB microSD Cards - Flash-Memory-Store.com

Keeping an eye on pricing--think you can find a 4 GB for less than $75!

I'd like to note that the manual that u show first states that there is no forward compatibility between the new cards in an old device, thus even though the thing looks the same the standard is different (2.00) thus u would need a compatible host device

microSDHC UPDATE, 09/07:

Many may not be aware that SanDisk has now released a 6GB microSDHC card. In NYC, it's available at Adorama Camera for about $90.

May be less expensive elsewhere or online, but it's not yet widely available.

The question remains: Does the i760 support 'HC' (FAT32)? Even now, we seem to lack this answer.

And if the i760 does not, what happens if a microSDHC flash card is inserted (or formatted)? Does the first 2GB read and write? The first 4GB?

Anything in the now-available i760 manual on this? Given the i760's imminent release, anyone wanna call/email Samsung and ask again?

SanDisk 6GB microSDHC:
SDSDQ6144MB SanDisk 6 GB Micro Secure Digital, MicroSD, Memory Card.

Nice find Bam! Equus assures us the 4 gigger HC's will work just fine, so wouldnt that mean the 6 GB would work as well?

-I posted this in the release thread, but should have posted here instead... VZW merit members can get the 4 GB cards for $75 with the 20% accessory discount. This seems to be the cheapest price out there. -I'd gladly pay the extra $14 bones for the 6 GB...

brassMONKEY,

Not sure we can depend on 6GB working even if 4GB operates, as I believe 4GB is the dividing line for HC. Think there was some discussion about this many months ago. In any case, if $75 is a good price for 4GB, then $90 seems reasonable for 6GB. Guess I'll pick one up.

Geez...$90 for a fragile piece of blank silicon the size of a fingernail?

Went to Adorama Camera (W18th St betw 5th/6th Aves, NYC) on 09/05 to pick up a 6GB microSDHC card.

Turns out these flash cards have not yet shipped but are expected "shortly." Adorama's Web site indicated the product as in stock but it is not.

Availability of new SanDisk products tends to be spotty, so no surprise.

Will post when actually available. If anyone digs up an alternate source, please post.

The 4GB microSD cards can be had in the $50-$60 range on Amazon now.

Keenzo was showing stock until I tried to order, now shows out of stock on the page at $78.97 for the 6GB Sandisk model.

That's a great price, but you can list any price you want when you don't have the item in stock.

SANDISK SDSDQ-6144-A11M SECURE DIGITAL, 6GB, MICRO SD W/MICR

Alright I've been reading long enough, time for my first post:

Ableshoppers.com links to a 4GB Micro SD for $63 shipped

Click here for link

Enter the code SD5DOFF for $5 off ($68 - $5 = $63)

I would be getting one if only the i760 was out...

Out of the box the i760 would not recognize my SanDisk 4 GB microSDHC. I loaded the SDHC drivers i have been using on my WM6 XV6700 and voila working SDHC!
