Default SD Memory

Ok so I am trying to get the most mileage for my dollar. I obviously have the Q but my wife has the Chocolate. Her phone uses the Micro SD card whereas mine uses the Mini. My computer does not have a SD reader/writer so I will need to buy an external one. In your humblest of opinions what should I buy (brands and size)? Are there any bundles that you know of? Where is the best/cheapest in store or online source to buy from? Thanks.

There are lots of specials all the time. One option is to look for a package that includes a Micro SD (like for the Chocolate) that includes an adapter to Mini SD for the Q. You should be able to find a 2gb for around $20-30. I don't think the Q can go higher than 2gb. If you have the Q9m, you can get a 4 gb - I bought one from a Verizon store (they gave me a 25% discount because I"m a corporate customer - they also give this discount if you have a bill each month that's more than $100 or something like that - called a "merits" discount) and the package was Micro SD card with a mini-sd adapter and an SD adapter.

I bought a 2GB miniSD card from www.tigerdirect.com for around 20 bucks plus a few for shipping. I should have went with www.newegg.com though. The brand I got was transcend. I have had it for about 2 months now, no problems.

Thanks y'all. What about readers. Can the readers write to a Micro or is there another adapter?

Most minis I've seen come with an adapter that ups it to an SD card for reading in most readers.

Also a lot of folks are starting to talk about buying micros (wave of the future) that come with a mini adapter and an SD adapter. I know EQ sells them but I haven't found them as cheap as the minis.

Also 4gb do work in the regular Q....search for 4gb.

Most of you guys run your apps on the card and not the phone right? If so other than what came on the phone should I move everything else to the card?

For those of you that use your Q as a MP3. Do you use two seperate cards? One for apps and one for MP3 or just cram it all on one?

Thanks.

You can put apps and media on the same card so you don't have to swap. apps are small in relation to the card. You can even have the IE cache and email go to the card via hacks. put as much as you can on the card.
