I think the review of this card by Mr Plonis is unfair and hope he will amend it.

I bought the 8GB card for my SE k800i phone. I was a little worried after reading his review but it was such a good price and the other comment here made me think it would be OK.

In fact when I installed the card the phone only registered it as having approx 3.5GB and I panicked a little.

I then viewed the card through the USB connection between the phone and my computer and could then see it as an 8GB card. So no problem with the card then!

A bit of research on the web confirmed my suspicion that it was the phone to blame rather than the memory card.

I think I can upgrade the firmware for the phone and so will give that a try.

It is wrong to blame the memory supplier for the way in which the phone is configured.

The SE web site does say that 4GB is the maximum card size supported for the k800i phone at the time it was first released.

I have read elsewhere that people have the phone working with the 8GB card after upgrading to firmware version R1JG001.

The memory card arrived swiftly and was well packaged. It also had an adaptor for to allow it to fit in some previous Sony proprietary card slot. I do wish Sony would use standard SD cards.

I got everything I expected when I ordered this. I ordered late on Monday, it arrived first thing Wednesday., well packaged in all original packaging and with an invoice/delivery note.

I bought this to use with my SE C902, after checking the maximum memory stick capacity that my phone could take on SE website, which is 8gb.

I’m sure most others are using the card for the same, for me it is for storing music, as one other reviewer said, who needs a walkman (or other poplular branded music player for that matter if you can use this?

The transfer rate is excellent – I’m using this in place of an 8gb MP3 player that I have had enough of by another respected manufacturer that takes twice as long to transfer songs between PC and phone. for example to transfer between PC and phone with memory stick in it, an album with 15 songs, at MP3 best quality, it is taking me all of 1 minute.

And finally, the memory card does come with an adaptor so that I can put it straight into the reader in my PC, should I not need it for a SE phone in the future it can be used for other purposes – I found this when Sandisk first started doing cards that weren’t standard SD size, and they came with an adapter – at least I can use them for something else when I’m done with them if the next phone I get doesn’t happen to be an SE one!

Good service all round, and good product!
