can the incredible take a 32 gig memory card?

[joel11743]

Hello everyone!
While stores don't seem to sell 32 gig sandisk memory cards, I see them from eBay dealers. The particular card I was looking at is
Sandisk 32GB Ultra II SDHC Memory Card SDSDRH032GA11
can the droid incredible take a 32 gig card or should I buy a 16 gig card?
thanks

SanDisk® microSDHC? Card - Ideal Companion for Your Multimedia Phone they are capable of using them but i don't know if there's a problem formatting them like there is for the droid.

Yes any android device with 2.1 has a problem formatting them. This should be fixed in the 2.2 update.

I believe you can still format one via a 5in1 card reader on a pc and then just put it in the phone.

I never formatted the 2 gig card. is it just the 32 gig card that needs special formatting? how about the 16 gig card? thanks again

I have a 16 gb card in my Incredible and it works just fine!

I hope it's better than the 2.1 update... and comes out far more quickly. Yikes. this is a big problem.

I got the 32GB microSD card to work

I just got mine from SanDisk and had to try a number of different things and FINALLY figured out the way to make it work. To make it work you need to format it FAT32 NOT NTFS from your computer. You can't do a quick format. You must do a full format. The phone probably can't format it but it doesn't need to. It is working fine for me now! The phone shows it as 29.7GB which is correct.

Is this what you bought?

SanDisk SDSDQ-032G microSD High Capacity (microSDHC) - SDSDQ-032G - Buy.com

Just curious.

Yep, That's it but believe it or not it is cheaper direct from SanDisk: SanDisk Direct Website

That's crazy. Even more crazy that they sell 16GBs for $108
