Hi all,

Wondering if anyone is using a 32gb card with their storm. was going to buy a 16 because im tired of swapping out cards when i saw a class 6 32gb at newegg. Does anyone use a card this big on a storm that can let me know if this works? I would hate to dump 100$ on something that wont work on my phone.

thx,
Matt

Link please? 32gb MicroSD aren't released to the public yet.

However, yes, your Storm can handle the 32gb card with ease.

Link me to one that's $100 dollars and I'll buy it right now! lol

Its a custom job, you buy a standard 32 GB SDHC, then get out your MacGyver knife and start chopping

Dude...try to understand this.

That card you posted is a regular, run on the mill SD card. What the BB needs is a micro SD card. You should know this since you swap cards frequently

I think it's safe to say in this case... Matty DOESN'T Win.

wait...so it won't fit?

[gdoggmil04]

No, it wont fit. It's a SD card not a microsd card

[kriptikchicken]

I read (i think is was boygeniusreport) that any BB with a firmware over 4.5 can handle 32gb micro sdhc cards.

I am more hoping that the 32gb relaease will have the effect of chopping price of the 16gb card - it has hardly budged in price this year.

Yes, you can install up to a 32 GB MICRO SD card in the Storm. They are expected to release this summer in that small format. Right now the 16 GB retails for around $100. I would expect that the 32 GB will release at $249 or so at the start. There are no 32 GB MicroSD cards available on the market yet. 32 GB full size SDHC cards are available everywhere for about the price mentioned. I use one in a Digital SLR camera.

I got a 16gb Micro SD card on Amazon for around $50 with shipping. The OS on the Storm *CAN* (confirmed by RIM, but I don't have the link handy to back up this statement) support up to a 32gb Micro SD card though.

[mattywin]

nice to know that there are so many sarcastic tools running through the forums. The search on newegg pulled that one up for some reason when I was searching for a micro SD.

The question still is will they handle the 32GB card. Verizon told me today that they are not capable of anything greater than 16GB... Can anyone verify whether or not this is true?

Thx,

Matt

Untrue.

32GB is within the capabilities of the Storm as it stands today.

[Lawcheehung]

Best Buy has the 16g micro sd ao sale for $59.99 right now

What could you possibly do with a 32GB memory card. I can't even fill up the 8GB that came with the phone...

[darkrisen]

You obviously don't know how to legally back up your dvd movies to your hard drive and then convert and place them on your storm for viewing while at work etc. 32gb would be enough room for 20+ movies to choose from id wager depending on the conversion etc.

I can absolutely without a doubt confirm that VERIZON IS STUPID!

FWIW: The OP specified a Class 6 miscroSD card. Amazon has a Class 6 16GB for $49.99 (as of this writing).

Recently, I put an 8GB Class 6 into my Storm. It makes quite a difference in speed compared to the OEM Class 2. Very much worth the upgrade!
