I just ordered my N800, I can't wait to hold it in my hands
Now I was looking for a SD card. I think I am gonna start with a 2gb card.
At amazon.de (in Germany) they have these Kingston 2gb SD cards. They are the cheapest cards I could find on the web. They are also the slowest Kingston cards...
And here's my question: Does it really matter that much which card I use?
For me, it is not that important to put my card in an adaptor and go like 50mb/s second.
I assume that I will never have that speed inside my n800, no matter whatever card I use?
Does anyone have experiences with Kingston 2gb SD cards in a N800? Searching this forum, I only found Kingston 2gb MMC cards for the n770...

Thanks in Advance!

DC, I have not done any speed benchmarks but I can tell you I have two of the 2G Kingston cards and they seem to work well

Hello
I recently bought my N800 from www.jr.com in New York and they had a sale on PNY 2GB for $20 so I bought one. It works fine I use it it as the internal N800 memory card.

Are you in Germany? I am visiting Munich for a month in April and hope to visit some Linux User group meetngs there and meet some German Linux users.

is there a Saturn shop in your city, I went to the Saturn in Munich last year they had good prices on compter equipment

Get the fastest cards you can afford. You will appreciate it when you are transferring files from your PC or you are using your cards somewhere else where the extra speed really matters like taking pictures faster in your digital camera etc.

@mblack5:
Thanks, it's good to know they work.

@drjazz1947:
I am from Düsseldorf(about 40km from Cologne), we have two Saturn shops there.
Today, I was in town and had to kill some time, so I went to the Saturn market. The cheapest 2gb SD card ist abour 35€! @amazon.de there are many 2gb cards in the 15-25€ range.
So, if you go to munich, I would recommend not to buy your electronix equipment at Saturn, but to order it @amazon.de and let it be delivered to you place in Munich They often manage to deliver in two days, if the stuff is not out of stock.
If you need some German-specific advisement, just PN me

@thebeck:
Do you fast cards work also faster in your N800, or is there no difference between standard and ultra-fast cards, when working in N800, only ?

I found another card: Extrememory 2gb Performance 133x. It's just a little more expensive then the Kingston card, but when I search the forum there is no hint to this card, so I don't know what I can expect

No hard data, but IIRC the fastest access I've seen measured around here is some 7-9MB/sec (someone will correct me on this if it's way off). That would correspond to somewhere around 60x, so if it's mainly for use in the N800 I wouldn't waste money on wastly faster cards I I were you.. anyway, 80x cards seem to be very cheap atm.

My extrememory 2gb card arrived today, I haven't done any partitioning, but right now the card seems to work.I haven't found any user with an extrememory SD card when searching this forum, so I'll give a GO for extrememory on Nokia N800
