Has anyone tried a 64gb memory card in the 9930?

i have not tried it, but i am pretty sure there is no chance. the 64s use a different format(sdxc vs. sdhc) and i am under the impression that current phones do not have the ability to read it. software update maybe

Always pushing the envelope, eh? 64 gigs is too scary for me to even think about in a phone. As it is...my phone takes about 20 minutes just to catalog my 19 gigs of music. I think it would sh** twice and die if I put a 64 in it

HaHa. I'm gonna try it and report back. My understanding is that you have to reformat the card to FAT32 before it will work. I have a 32 gb card full with music and its still not enough space.

Yeah, keep us posted! I'm using a 32GB which is just fine for my needs. 64GB would be pretty awesome though!

Geez, I still have 20GB available on my 32GB! I haven't been keeping up - I didn't even know a 64 was out.

Where did you go?

Ok, no dice. The 9930 will not access the card. I tried formatting and it just gave a fatal error. That's a let down.

I tried it in my Android phone and it worked as soon as I formatted it. Maybe a software update is all that's needed for the 9930 to use it. But for now, save your money.

didn't realise a 32gb worked.....no if the prices have come down a little

a 32GB card works perfectly depends on brand, the prices may vary, but i couldn't care less.
and bought a 32GB Kingston Class4 right away. now i'm liek

how can i even fill this card up.

I got a Kingston 32GB class 10 card for $45 on boxing day (online). I've seen SanDisc class 4's for $35 or so if I remember correctly. They've come down a lot.

32gb works fine.

This has all been discussed recently....You can get 32gigs for $30 and change on Amazon...and that's for SanDisk. Also you don't need class 4 because your phone can't utilize the speed.
