For some weeks now, I am searching regularly for 16 GB microSDHC cards which I can use in my next smartphone, the MDA Vario IV (HTC Touch Pro). First without success, but since yesterday, some search engines show first results, like this one for $115, or this one for €54. Members of online forums like xda-developers.com confirm that the phone supports these big cards.
Is a smartphone owner able to use so much memory? Well, the most ones probably are not. Even 4 GB is enough for a user who has few navigation cards and some music. But the so-called power users often have a huge music collection they want to carry around (which is often even much bigger than 16 GB, so they can only take parts of it). Or they want to watch movies on their phone. As two of the new HTC phones, the Touch Diamond and the Touch Pro, have a VGA screen (640 x 480 px), they can show movies in almost TV / DVD quality, of course with stereo sound on their headsets. Another possibility is to have an offline Wikipedia on the card. However, because of the new data flatrates, high speed mobile internet connections, etc. it is not used very often.
So, if you want to have a lot of music, photos and movies on your card, perhaps an offline Wikipedia and several backup sets, etc., you should have a closer look at it and perhaps calculate if you can use 16 GB. And don’t forget to check if you mobile phone supports it – many phones only support 4 or 8 GB.
