Personally I wouldn't waste my money on it. I would buy CF that is not of the micro drive type. I have had one for over a month now & hate it. It has significantly reduced the battery life one my device. I copied a 25 meg file from my SD card onto it the other day & the transfer took almost 15 minutes. Coping files onto it from my computer using Active Sync is painfully slow. However if I use a card reader it is fine but it shouldn't be that slow. I don't know if it is just my CF card or not. Others have reported reduced battery life with it.
