A week after I bought my new phone (the LG VX8100), I decided to also buy this 256 MB SanDisk Secure Digital Mini memory card to store all my pictures, video clips, and sounds.
My phone is great but I just did not want to be limited to just 20 or so pictures and clips. I needed more space and freedom. Since I shop at CompUSA a lot, I purchased this SD Mini from there for about $40.
DESCRIPTION :
The SanDisk 256MB Secure Digital Mini is a tiny (almost like those Olympus xD picture cards) storage device that plugs into your compatible cellular phone and extends the storage space enormously. Since it is a plug-n-play (PNP) device, your cell phone will have no trouble recognizing it. If that is not all, it also comes with a SD Mini to SD adapter so you can use it in any memory card reader (I use the SanDisk ImageMate 8-in-1 card reader).
Using this has made my life easier and is also saving me some money. I used to take pictures on my phone and email (costs money) them to myself. Then I would have to download them to my computer. Now all I do is take the picture and when I am ready, I just plug the card into my reader and boom. All the pictures and video clips are there; just have to copy them to my hard drive.
WHY I BOUGHT IT?
The main reason I purchase this memory card was that I needed more storage space on my phone. I take a lot of pictures and video clips so I did not want to have to email one file at a time to myself (time and money consuming) to be able to delete it and get more space. Now I do not have to worry about it because I can virtually store hundreds of pictures, video clips, and sounds on it. I also bought this because my phone can play MP3’s and I needed a memory card to store them on to play it on my stereo phone.
I already have a card reader on my desktop computer and my laptop has a SD card reader also, so I was all set to go. And now my phone was also compatible with SD cards. Even though my phone has Bluetooth capabilities, it still requires some special configurations and time to transfer files to and from it. Now I only use the Bluetooth to transfer downloaded ring tones to the phone; I can access everything else via the SD card.
