Digital camera reviews of 6GB MicroSDHC Card with Adapter & Micromate USB 2.0 Reader / Writer
Digital camera Review: A Great MicroSD HC Card
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great 6GB MicroSD HC card for a good price. I have always stuck with SanDisk because I have never had a problem with their cards and this is card is no exception. It runs fast enough for my uses. The only bad part of this card is not the card, but the SD adapter. After inserting the card into the adapter, I found it difficult to remove. That didn't effect me at all since I have a SanDisk usb card reader that it inserts directly into. If you have a pre-HC MicroSD card reader, you can still use that reader for this card. You just have to make sure the device you want to use the HC card in is compatible with them.Digital camera Review: Awesome Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this 6gb card for use with my new AT&T Tilt. It works flawlessly and I am so glad I got it. Now, I'm thinking about getting the 8gb version.Digital camera Review: Best solution for my 8525 phone
Summary: 5 Stars
Awesome card, I have movies, music, pictures, games and everything else installed onto it through my 8525 phone. YES... IT WILL WORK WITH the TyTn, Hermes, AT&T 8525, whatever you want to call the phone. My next upgrade will probably be an 8 or 16 GB card if the 8525 supports it. Hopefully they will be class four as well. I have seen a lot of people saying they can't get their card to work. Well, I flashed my phone to the latest firmware and have had no problems. Thank you san disk! thank you HTC!

Digital camera Review: Blackberry users beware
Summary: 4 Stars
This MicroSDHC card works fine, but the Blackberry does not support SD cards over 4GB unless you have OS version 4.3. If you format this card in a v4.2 Curve, like I did, you'll get only 1.6GB of capacity because of an integer math overflow.
Blackberry OS can be upgraded freely, but unless you ordered your device directly from RIM you rely on your carrier to provide the update. I ordered mine from AT&T and they haven't yet released the 4.3 OS upgrade.
Fortunately, because SanDisk helpfully includes a USB adapter if you do format to a lower capacity you can plug the card back into your PC and resize the drive with a partitioning utility. I used some software from Paragon to do this. You still won't be able to use the full capacity without the OS upgrade though.
I give this 4 stars because even though it's a good product, some fair warning that it may need an OS upgrade to work in popular smart phones would have been nice. I could see less technical users having problems with it.

Update July 2008:
I've now updated the BlackBerry OS on my AT&T 8310 to OS 4.5 using an update released by Vodafone Germany, and I can confirm that if you reformat this card in OS 4.5 you can finally access all 6GB of storage. The reason I had to use the Vodafone upgrade was because AT&T seem to be very slow in releasing OS upgrades themselves. I recommend checking which OS version AT&T is providing before buying this card.
Digital camera Review: Decent price for the size.
Summary: 5 Stars
I got the card and TomTom maps as a combo with a small discount price. The card didn't work at first in my Glofiish x500+ but that's because it's SDHC and I had to install a couple new drivers and then reset the phone. After figuring out how to do all of that the card worked great. The only problem is that since it's SDHC it isn't backwards compatible with regular micro SD card readers. I had to go out and purchase a micro SDHC card reader. Other than that, this thing is great. 6Gb in the size of a finger nail, wow.
