Mobility Site - View Single Post - Those with working 2GB SD Cards: Does It Ever Stop Working

Octavarium · 08-20-06, 01:20 AM

So there seems to be no consensus on what 2GB (SD) cards work reliably on an X5.

Question1:
To help people considering a purchase, can those of you who have ever had a 2 GB card working properly comment on whether it has ever stopped working for you, or worked intermittently (and name what card and what PPC model/rom/etc. you are running).

Obviously if the card I buy doesn't work from Day 1 I can return it. However I am worried about it working intermittently after the store's return period.

Question2:
Perhaps a simpler question: If I have no plans on using wifi, bluetooth, or CF GPS, just the basic PPC... is there any reason why not to just get a CF card? ie. speed/reliability differences in the X5?

A new (to me) X5 is currently in the mail and I'm looking forward to getting started with my first PDA. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
