I feel bad for your lost of data.
I think that is a good idea. I would like a ghost copy of the miniSD with one keystroke, I think I know where to get it. Lost of data is way too painful!

Thanks! Just bought the CF and a 8G mini for $30 from them!
Never heard of focalprice until now.

Yup, I saw the miniSD Kingston is $30 shipped. But I already made up my mind and trying to get HD rather then miniSD. I may change...

All many users would need would be a simple rsync script to start with.

I'm getting a little confused here.

From the Nokia N810 website, they say:

Quote:

Storage

* Up to 2GB internal memory
* Support for compatible miniSD and microSD memory cards (with extender). Supports cards up to 8GB. (SD cards over 2GB must be SDHC compatible.)
Will a 8 GB Mini SD card like this Kingston from focalprice.com work in the N810? From the Nokia website, I am thinking that cards over 2 GB need to be Mini-SDHC, so this card will not work in a N810.

I haven't seen many offerings for Mini-SDHC cards that are 8 GB and above. I've heard some with issues with extenders and want to avoid those all together.

My question is, what works for the rest of you with 8GB and more?

Nokia said up to 8G (didn't they?) but actually if we have 32G we would use them by now!
Someone in this forum has used 32G SDHC for his N800 already.
For poor people like me, I am waiting .....

Barely less than 1 month of installing the RMA replacement memory, the new memory card has gone bad again. I know it went bad when the N810 was still running, as my music/playlists went missing that were on the removable memory. I know I was listening to some music earlier, and it's strange how the card just disappeared. Re-mounting it didn't work, and finally, rebooting the N810 (several times) didn't seem to help either.

Thank goodness I found out about this bad memory before I tried to do the new SSU... it would have driven me nuts trying to find out what might be wrong!

Don't buy it. I bought one and it's a FAKE one.
Kingston doesn't make 8GB mini.

Yea, I just checked out the pics on the focalprice link, they look very fishy. The number 8 on the card looks doctored (to me) and if you compare it to the pictures showing the cards in the box, they look like they are showing a 1 instead of an 8...

That and the fact that I've never heard of a miniSD card over 2gb that doesn't say SDHC. Hopefully you can get your money back, but Kingston only sells 4gb Class 4 miniSDHC cards that I am aware of. People have used microSDHC cards with miniSD adapters to reach the 8gb threshold, but I've read a lot of complaints recognizing the cards using an adapter.
