Just received my Cruzer and 256Meg Sandisk Card and they both work fine. Only problem I seem to have with the Cruzer itself is that when you slide the slider to the connect position you have to find something to put a little down pressure on the usb connector itself to get it to come out of the opening. Plugged it into my laptop and copied a bunch of mp3's on it then slid the card out and into my Axim and all is fine. Comes with a short usb cable and a little black drawstring pouch which the Cruzer and cable fit into. Will let you know if I have any problems with it.

i just received mine in the mail today too. it's really cool how you can slide the black bar in the middle and not have either side sticking out for travel. anyway, i took it out of the box, pluged it into the front of my dell desktop and loaded mr.deeds movie on it in about 2 minutes and it looks great on the axim. and i still have 116mb's left for other stuff on it. also, this is my 3rd sandisk sd card, 64mb128mb and now a 256, and i have never had a problem with any of them. btw, i was at fry's electronics yesterday and saw the same thing there for $149, wow. if i wasnt broke i would order another one.

i wonder if its because we are using the cruzer instead of the sync cradle?

I have been using Sandisk CF cards in all of my equipment and have had no problems with any of them yet. (Knock on wood) Hope I haven't jinksed myself. The Sandisk SD 256 is working like a champ. My backups all apear fine. Now if I could just get the power problem to go away then I would really be a happy camper.

[B]I'm afraid to order Sandisk anything because of all the problems I have read on here and on other sites. It sounds Lexar is the only SD memory that you can be certain will work with your Axim. [/B][/QUOTE]

We are using "Viking" SD cards without a problem..... also have a number of Sandisk CF's that are used in both my camera and Axim, no problems with them yet.

I just ordered a Cruzer today, looks they are backordered until (the rep says) the 10th of March. He seemed to think it would ship then. I was hoping to pricematch it at Staples but FYI, Staples will no longer pricematch online retailers :mad:

cmak007

Tried to aorder cruzer from ecost.com.....rep told me they would ship out the same day but the next day found out they were backordered to 10th march.....checked out their reviews at resellerratings.com and they suck!! so I got the same thing from techonweb.com ( their reviews were really good )...got it for $10 more but atleast i got the cruzer in 3 days!! and with ground shipping :)....love the cruzer......and BTW whenever anyone wants to buy something from an online retailer..check their ratings and reviews on [url]www.resellerratings.com[/url] ....I've always checked them out before buying anything from an online store and have received excellent service from the retailers that R ranked higher :)...my all time favourtie is newegg.com and aft6er that techonweb.com :)

chucka

i ordered it off ecost on wednesday night (late) and got it on monday with free ground shipping.
