My card should arrive tomorrow.
I'm not sure the Patriot cards are bad in general... I have one 8GB regular size SDHC card that I purchased about a year ago. It has been used in my N800... did go through couple memory card corruptions due to kernel bug... but never failed so that it couldn't be brought back to normal by simple reformat. It is still working fine today.
I do understand that the MiniSDHC cards can be completely different... but based on my past experience with Patriot card I made my decision to try this one out.
Let's see how it turns out.

Hey Bun,
I just noticed the shared folder on my tablet the other day and have been trying to work out how you use it. Is it a shared folder used for transferring via bluetooth? I don't remember ever setting up a "pairing" with my PC but it already has my computers name attached to it. MMmmm is it picking up on my computer via the wireless?

It seems that with any kind of memory you often get what you pay for. Many people have had issues with Patriot products.
I have had problems with A-Data cards and PC RAM as well. That's what I get for being cheap, I suppose

I was just looking up when I purchased my Patriot 8GB card from NewEgg and that was in February and considering it gets used a lot, it's done everything without fuss or problem. Maybe I've just been lucky to receive a good one. Also, I've transfered a lot of DVD converted movies over to the Nokia and I've had zero issues with video lag or sound sync with this card when playing them. It's also no slower than my Kingston 4GB card in transfer speed.
Just thought I'd provide a positive experience to all the negative one's on this thread.

I posted a bit ago about an OCZ and A-Data 8gb sd card for 29.99. Both are fairly speedy.

My 2 cents,

Hey, here is the big finale (hopefully) for my $34.02 8G Patriot miniSD card: It worked like a gem.
I took it out, sticked it in N800 internal slot, cloned the OS, hurriedly stick it out, and this time, sticked it in N810, AND IT BOOTED without FUSS! Including unpacking, opening the plastic container, cloning with Mil's script and bootup in the N810, under 10 minute, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...t=8631&page=35
One big regret about ordering this card though, and I cannot sleep, cannot eat, tearful day and night and upsetting....I thought I got the best deal in town and shared with the iTT community, Mara got it for less, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...815#post185815 thread #30

)Maybe the first batches of this cards at Newegg had issues, but the newer batches are better quality?
