Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kingston 4 GB microSDHC Class 4 Flash Memory Card SDC4/4GB
Customer Review: Kingston delivers with a great product at a great price.
Summary: 5 Stars
Micro SD's are more popular now because of the PDA explosion (e.g. Blackberry, Motorola Moto Q9h, Samsung Black Jack, etc.).
I haven't seen a Micro SD be used for a digital camera device yet, so I'll guess it's mostly these PDA type devices that they are being purchased for.
Buyer beware! If your PDA device specifically states it can only support up to 2gb in the expansion memory slot, then anything over that size may not work.
I bought this 4gb Kingston Micro SD with adapter for a Motorola Moto Q9h (AT&T), and it failed to recognize the Micro SD. It detected it, and let me know how much memory was there, but it would give me an error and would NOT allow me to save to it, or open the file I had on it. So, I sent the Moto Q9h back and replaced with a Blackberry Curve 8300, which also stated that it had an expansion slot which would support up to a 2gb Micro SD. However, I tested it with another Blackberry 8300 model and it worked.
So, make sure that the Micro SD you're buying will work with your device. The safest bet is to go into the store and try it on your device.
The other thing, Motorola has failed in all aspects to compete in the PDA phone market. If you're thinking of buying a PDA phone device, avoid the Motorola. It failed in many way than just the expansion slot not working. I think the Windows Mobile OS was the other problem.
Customer Review: A good microSD card and adapter
Summary: 4 Stars
This microSD card is quite compatible with my LG phone, which I really didnt expect since my phone usually has many problems. The best feature i liked about this product is the adapter. When I first opened the package, I dint think it would ve been this useful. Whenever I want to transfer something like pictures or music to my phone I transfer the card inside the small slot of the adapter which is quite cute and then insert the adapter to the memory card slot in my laptop. I doesnt require any installation or waiting. You can transfer just about anything from the computer to the card (depending on what device you use)and vice versa just by dragging and dropping. I still have around 75% disk space left in my card after having around 100 songs and some pictures. The reason why I like the adapter offer is because I have just inserted the adapter into the memory card slot and kept it there always. So whenever I wanted to transfer something all I do is insert my SD card into the adapter and transfer the data and then put it back into the phone. It may take just less than 2 minutes to do that!
Bottomline is: Go for this offer with adapter instead of buying the card alone. It may become useful even if you dont use it often. Really a good product and for such a low price you will never regret it even if something happens.
Customer Review: The USPS stole my item, but Amazon helped me
Summary: 4 Stars
[original review of the 2Gb micro card which is not available anymore with an addendum.]
I purchased this item, and wanted it shipped the cheapest way possible. unbeknown to me, this meant amazon shipping it by the united states postal service. I tracked the package, and after a few days, received the box.
it was just an empty box. there was a postcard sized invoice inside, some packaging material, but nothing else. i also noticed the bottom of the amazon box was slightly torn (glue holding the box together was ripped off)
so i "called" amazon and got some customer service agent in india. remarkably, amazon customer service was better than i expected, and was able to resolve my missing item by sending a replacement.
I also emailed a suggestion to amazon.com's shipping department that in the future, they should SEAL and SECURE the bottom of ALL their shipping boxes with tape, and not just put a small piece of shipping tape on the top of the box. this suggestion will also save amazon.com a lot of money from theft.
5 stars for amazon.com
4 stars for this product.
0 stars for the post office.
and -5 stars and a bullet in the head for the guy who stole the item from my original purchase.
Customer Review: Best bang for the buck!
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this to use in my Garmin Vista HCx GPS unit. It is fully compatible and works just fine, but once I loaded the complete topographic maps of Texas and New Mexico on it I noticed the map drawing (loading) time of the GPS takes 3-4 seconds longer than the previous near instantaneous draw time. That is understandable since this is a class 4 card. This card is fast enough for my purposes, if you need faster load/download times you might want the class 6, but it is more expensive of course. I also use only Kingston brand media cards in my 2 cameras, mp-3 player and cell phone and have always been completely satisfied. Kingston gives the best bang for the buck! (I have an older computer that will not take this SDHC card in its SD card slot, so I have to leave the card in my GPS and connect the GPS to a USB port to add new maps or delete them from the card; I will fix this soon by ordering a $[...] SDHC card reader from <[...]>, it is much cheaper than here, but takes a few more days to arrive since it is mailed from Hong Kong.Customer Review: Great quality at a reasonable price!

I bought this memory card for my new Samsung Blackjack II smartphone and I couldn't be happier. I even bought a smaller 2 gig version for my Father who has the same phone.
There isn't much to say about it other than it works flawlessly, it was very affordable compared to other brands in the same category, and it seems to be made of high quality materials. The included adapter is truly where this product shines for me. I have a digital camera that uses standard SD cards so with the adapter I can take some pictures on my camera and then easily swap the card into my smart phone to email them or upload them to my blog.
All in all a memory card is a memory card, there isn't much in the way of features to compare between brands. So I use cost, quality, and brand reputation (including user reviews) to determine which companies memory I want to buy. After doing the research this product is by far the best.
