Well I got the card today. Turns out it shipped direct from Dane and it was their policy to return any undelivered parts straight away (bare this in mind if you won't be around to accept delivery).

Luckily computerwebstore were on the ball, offered to reship it straight away via royal mail or city link (formerly shipped city link). As I never got their email till late in the day by the time I had replied they'd already taken the initiative to ship it royal mail and avoid another days delay. Bit risky of them but I appreciate them shipping rather than holding it.

Anyway back of the card is marked 'Toshiba' date code of 0313 so thats about mid april and it was made on Japan. I so far copied 90+ meg of maps to it which load fine, 80 meg of mp3 both to the root then cut and pasted to an mp3 folder. No errors as such yet, I even did a backup which fried my sansdisk card and that worked okay. Will try later tonight the many small files in one folder trick see if that makes it go gaga.

Few points. All transfers were done via wireless connection and explorer browsing a networked drive.

When trying to transfer the MP3s via USB activesync it bombed out on the first track. I'm not sure if I lost space because of this but the file still showed and deleted fine. Think I read that there was a buffer issue with activesync anyway so I try and avoid using it for anything other than syncing (duh!) and installing.

More later. hopefully good.
