the newest one you got from the Dark Side has problem

use the order version, the one without the remount option

check the .zip file to see if it included the older version

I like the design of the RexRegina Classic Stanton. Reason- It is simple in design and functional. I like having my Treo at my side the design of the case keeps it low so it does not poke my side and besides its cool feeling when I take it out, it feels like a old west quick draw when I reachdown, unsnap and pull it out. I think of squaring off with other cell phone users when I face them and we both reach for our phones, I so totally win every every time. Whip Bang -- "My schedule is..."

I have several cases for different uses, but always keep this one with me, its the coolest!!

lol...you know...some days i HATE YOU ALL!

I was SOOOOOOOooooo non-technical before I got a 650 as a warranty replacemnet for my Kyocera 7135.  Then I went looking for information on the web and ended up HERE.

NOW I'm spending time reading about shit I never gave a...well...SHIT about.  And of course I go to check on this card speed site and its DOWN!

CURSE YOU!  CURSE YOU ALL!!

ok.  better now.  When the site is back up I will b curious to see more results on 4gb cards in the 700p.

I am ready to buy a 700p; add a 4gb card and load TOMTOM (@1.2 gb with all US maps loaded - I don't want to fiddle, so i'm loading the whole cd set - lol), @ 1gb of DocsToGo content, @ 1.5gb of music, movies and if PALM and Blackberry would get off their collective ASSES....Blackberry Connect.

Obviously, Speed/capacity/price r going to b key.

OMG!!!  the Writing speed is horribly slow, not good for daily usage, but the Reading speed is quite good, it's good for a lot of movies, and MP3

now if i could find a card reader that can take care of the SDHC cards, then i'll be set, since this baby READS great, except for writing via the CardExport2 / or any soft of Synchronization like AvantGo, waaaay tooo slowwww......

I'm looking to get a 2gb card for my 650. I was just wondering, how important is the speed of the sd card? I've seen that there these days they are usually at 60x or 150x. In a previous post, someone wrote:

"Remember you *really need* to get an accelerated card, at least 45x, or it will be very slow. The Treo is limited to around 45x, but a standard un-accelerated card will be very slow to read/write from, and might even have mp3/movie read time issues."

I know that for the 680 and higher speed matters, but does this mean that any card with speed above 45x would be superfluous for a 650? Or will the extra investment in a 150x card be worth it? Thanks a bunch.

The Class 4 Dane Elec card, although coming close to the overall figure in VFS was in all honesty almost unseable in many situations, but the Transcend card rocks

Card Type and Model : A-DATA 2GB SD (Turbo - 150X)
Device Model : Treo 680 with Firmware MW01.60 and Software TREO680-1.05-APR

Card Preparation :
1. Formatted to FAT16 or FAT32 filesystem format on a WinXP PC, using the command line 'format' utility - either 'FORMAT DRIVE: /FS:FAT' or 'FORMAT DRIVE: /FS:FAT32'.
2. Renamed the card's LABEL on my Treo 680 with 'Card Info'.
3. VFSMark tests were run on an empty memory card.

I'll stick with FAT16 for now, at least till I get an 8GB SDHC Class6 card.

Looks like this thread is pretty much dead but I was wondering what the fastest SD card was that also has a USB connector built in (the two I know of like this are the OCZ Duo and the Sandisk SD Ultra II)

Thanks

[AllGamer]

the only way to find out is to buy it and try it 
then return it if you don;t like it

again the DaneElec cards sucks, compared to a premium brand, But MicroSD cards do appear to out perform their SDHC cousins which was the opposite of what I expected.

also now 680 results are also in the centro appears to outperform the 680
