Is the W810i compatible with the new 4 and 8 gig memory sticks???

[mariokarter]

Well, the title really says it all. Will the new 4gig and 8gig memory stick pro duos work with my phone??? I heard that the PSP will need a firmware update to support the 8 gig stick, perhaps something similar will need to be done to the w810.

The FAQ on Sony's site says: (http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=us&lc=en&ver=4000&template=ps1_1_4_1&zone=ps&lm=ps1_1&pid=10376#29)


What is the maximum capacity of the Memory Stick Duo™ supported by the phone?
Maximum capacity of the Memory Stick Duo™ supported by the phone is 2 GB.


So is this just because the FAQ was written when 2gigs was the biggest stick and the FAQ is out of date and the phone really will support bigger sticks?

...confusion...

Well it may or may not suppport it, won't know till someone tests it, or as you say they may release a firmware upgrade to support it.

thanks mike.

Also, where do you guys think the best place to buy sticks are? Everything on ebay is fake and then other than that, liksang, and sony's and sandisk's websites sell them for way too much. I know there are some retail stores in toronto selling the 4 gig for 200 CAD, is that the best deal right now??


btw - this phone is sweet, i highly recommend it.
