Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk Micro Secure Digital 2 GB Memory Card (SDSDQ-2048-A10M) Retail Package
Customer Review: Works great
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought it for my Cingular/AT&T 8525 phone. Arrived quickly and works great. Works out to having 1936.88 MB available. After I loaded Laridian Bible software onto it, I still had 1871.19 MB free after loading 4 translations (KJV, NASB, NIV, NLT) 3 dictionaries (Greek, Hebrew and Tyndale) and 1 commentary (NIV Study Notes)! Loads fast from the card. Also used the card to transfer files from my sister-in-law's Verizon Samsung SCH-a950. The a950 got soaked with contact lens cleaner and it wouldn't connect to Verizon after that! She had pictures from her daughter's wedding on her phone that she couldn't retrieve now. Luckily the micro SD slot on her soaked Samsung phone still worked so we copied them from her phone to the SD card. I then removed the card from her phone and plugged the SD into my 8525. Opened up Windows File Manager, saw that a new folder called "My PIX" was created by her Samsung on the card then just e-mailed them to her. Crisis averted!Customer Review: Memory, memory, memory
Summary: 4 Stars
In some ways, this review will be useless to some people: My wife uses this card in her phone, and she's not a very strict taskmaster. She doesn't do anything with her phone except make calls and calendar reminders, so this product really isn't being put through its paces.
From the physical side of things, I feel comfortable with guessing (this is strictly opinion) that this product represents a mix of issues.
GOOD: The ratio of size to memory is great, and with 2 gigs a casual user of a smartphone should get some good use out of it (no crazy wannabe Ipod use from a phone, etc.). If you need more memory, you should be using a computer, not a phone.
BAD: If you are the type of person that will be constantly removing and reinserting the card in your phone, thick fingers or clumsy fingernails might get in the way. This thing is DAINTY; "Micro" is a perfect designator.
Customer Review: It's ... too big?!?
Summary: 4 Stars
I was very impressed with the speed of shipping and package condition. When I saw the card ... I had to just stare for aminute. There's 2GBs on a card THAT small!! It's a good feeling. Scandisk's card is, as always, very high quality. And it works effeciantly.
My cellphone, on the other hand ... dosn't totaly like it. For one, the Samsung phone can only read the card if it's formatted in FAT. Windows uses FAT32. Doesn't sound like much, but it makes a big difference. The card MUST be reformatted correctly, or my phone can't read it. Unfortunately, once formatted to FAT, I can only store up to 1GB on it. Anything stored over 1GB seems to become corrupted.
SO ... I got what I wanted, but now I can't use half of it! If you plan on using the card in a Cell, make sure you know the format you Cell uses before buying anything over 1gb.
Customer Review: Good card for GPS
Summary: 5 Stars
I am using this card in a Garmin 60CX GPS. So far it has performed flawlessly. The price was low, and SanDisk has a good quality reputation so I bought one to go with the Garmin. The card came with an adapter to "convert" it into a regular-size SD card, so you can switch it between devices requiring Regular SD and Micro-SD. I am actually using the adapter, along with the 64 meg MicroSD card that came with the Garmin, in my HP-50g calculator.
BTW, these micro-SD cards are really tiny, like the size of a pinky finger nail, and a little hard to handle with bare fingers if you are on the clumsy side and prone to dropping things, so be careful and maybe use a tweezers or something similar to handle it. If you drop the darn thing in tall grass, or even on a thick pile carpet in your house, you might never find it again.
Customer Review: Great for Photos; Poor for Programs
Summary: 3 Stars
The card works great for storing and transferring files, but not for running programs off of it. Specifically, the card's performance is incredibly poor when it comes to running homebrew applications on the Nintendo DS. When using this card, games and applications suddenly have graphical glitches, screen stuttering when scrolling, and gameplay speed reduced by about 10%, especially when things get demanding. The card I received was manufactured in South Korea (important to know as cards perform slightly differently depending on where they were made).
If you are planning on using this card for your digital camera, GPS, or for small backup purposes, it's an excellent buy. But if you're looking for running programs off of it, look somewhere else.
