Cingular Go Phone: SanDisk 128 MB TransFlash Memory Card Review

Recently I picked up the Motorola V710 (verizon) phone that is compatable with this memory card.The Transflash card used to be called T-Flash and was for some reason renamed.In the package an included transflash to SD memory adapter allows you to connect to a SD compatable memory reader for a PC through a USB 2.0 interface.

The first thing that struck me as amazing is the size of the transflash memory.120mb in a little device that I can barely keep hold of in two fingers.It tucks away neatly into the transflash memory port on the Motorola V710 unnoticed.This is one of the first phones to feature a built in 1.2 megapixel camera, mp3 player and video camera, so the need for expanded storage is a must.

I purchased a cheap SD memory reader and plugged the transflash card to the SD adapter and it immediately read as a removable storage drive on my Windows XP based computer.One problem I did have was files kept getting corrupted when I tried to read them on the phone.I fixed this by formatting the card (just like formatting a built in hard drive).Not sure if this was a problem of how the phone formatted the memory when it built all the default directories or if it was the reader or card itself.But the format fixed it with no further issues.
