Kingston 2 GB microSD Flash Memory Card SDC/2GB

This little 2GB micro-SD card enabled my daughter's new cell phone (Blackberry Pearl) to store plenty of photos and music. Without it, the phone could hold only a few pix and no serious music. After paying hundreds for the phone, it just makes sense to spend $10 for this little gem to make the phone features useful.Reviewing similar memory on-line, I ran across some concerns. For $10 it was worth the risk, and none of the concerns turned into problems for this model. Specifically:- This device is the right physical size. Other micro-SD cards reviewed have been just a hair too wide or thick to fit in some devices.- This device is fast enough. It is possible to pay higher prices for faster micro-SD cards, but not necessary at least for phone, music, and picture storage. The phone using this device updates instantly from the PC, so there are no speed problems in that regard either. I could imagine digital video cameras needing to write large memory blocks quickly to a card like this, but for typical applications this card has all the performance one needs.- The 2GB size is large enough. Yes, more size means more storage for even more music and pictures. For most people, it's not worth the price. I went from barely usable capabilities to a full-featured phone (and happy teenage daughter!) by spending under $10 for this micro-SD card. I could have spent $40 for twice the capacity, but it wouldn't have made much difference. Instead of adding massive storage to a phone device, anyone wanting large storage for pictures and music should consider an 80GB Zune or other MP3/iPod device built primarily for the purpose of quality music and perhaps pictures. A phone or camera needs *enough* add-in memory, but not massive amounts.Enough preaching on usage. The bottom line is that this Kingston 2GB micro-SD card really is everything you expect from a name-brand leader in the memory market. The 2GB modeal in particular comes at a terrific price. Coming from Amazon, you also get free shipping and their great return policy.

Bottom-Line: I couldn't ask for a better product then the "Kingston MicroSD (Secure Digital) Memory Card."It is absolutely insane how much memory can be packed into small black packages these days.

The MicroSD fit securely inside of the adapter, which in turn slips easily inside an available SD media card slot.There are no drivers to install, and the card is compatible with both Windows XP/Vista and Mac OS X.First Impressions:I love this little MicroSD Card!

If you insert the "Kingston 2GB MicroSD Card" and get the message that new hardware has been found and is now available for use, but the device is not assigned a drive letter, you must go to Control Panel /Administrative Tools/ Computer Manager/ Disk Manager, to manually assign the drive letter.I routinely transfers files from my laptop computer to my Moto Q 9h via the Kingston 2GB MicroSD Card; mostly music. And because the memory in the Kingston 2GB MicroSD Card is none-volatile, once removed from the memory card slot, your files follow you wherever you go.

These memory cards are so ridiculously small. It is literally the size of my pinkie nail, maybe smaller. Although it's hard to keep up with, this card works very well.It's kingston, so right off the bat you know it's a good durable card. It is also high speed and can be used on all sorts of applications: cell phones, mp3 players, cameras, hand held game consoles, etc.I bought this to use with a supercard for my nintendo ds that allows me to play my backed up games off of the memory card so I only have to keep one game card with me at a time and still have all my games.This memory card performs well enough to allow me to do that, and at such a low price for 2gb it's definitely worth the money!

The shipping on this thing was amazing. I had ordered this item after another shipment, but it came weeks before the other one did. The only problem I had was that the Adapter to make it a regular SD card doesn't work. It stalls my computer, forcing me to eject it before it freezes up completely. The Micro SD card itself works beautifully. Had to get another adapter, though, which bugged me a little. I give it three stars, since the whole idea was to have that Micro SD card; the adapter was a bonus, even though it was faulty.
