Krzr K1 MicroSD 1 gig limit?

New here so hopefully the KRZR questions are allowed in the RAZR forum. My apologies in advance if not.

I have a "MotoKrzr K1" on the way from Cingular to replace my horribly annoying Sony w600i and one of the things I really like about the KRZR is the expandable memory which is not an option on the w600i.

I've been reading ahead so I'll know what I'mdoing when it gets here and I see the manual says it is expandable to 1 gig.

I was really hoping of using a 2 gig card and am hoping someone has tried one. My deepest hope is that the manual was written before 2 gig microSD cards were available and I can carry on.

Anyone tried it?

Thanks!

Kinda slow in here 'eh?

Allow me to answer my own question in case some other Moto sould wonders the same thing...


I purchased two 2.0 gig MicroSD cards. The first being a Pny card. It did not recognize it. At all. The second I purchased was a 2.0 gig Sandisk, the one with clip art of cell phones on the packaging.

To my surprise and contrary to what the finely educated folks at AT&T AND the Motorola manual states, it does work. I've stored nearly 2.0 gigs of music on the card and as near as I can tell, it's all accessible from the MP3 player.

So there you go.

Does any one think that a Krzr can work a 4.0 gig Sandisk card?

You need to format the card using FAT and NOT FAT32. I had read the opposite somewhere and was wondering why the phone wasn't detecting my card. I finally tried FAT when formatting and the phone detected my card right away after that.
