Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kingston 4 GB microSDHC Class 4 Flash Memory Card SDC4/4GB
Customer Review: Kingston delivers with a great product at a great price.
Summary: 5 Stars
Micro SD's are more popular now because of the PDA explosion (e.g. Blackberry, Motorola Moto Q9h, Samsung Black Jack, etc.).
I haven't seen a Micro SD be used for a digital camera device yet, so I'll guess it's mostly these PDA type devices that they are being purchased for.
Buyer beware! If your PDA device specifically states it can only support up to 2gb in the expansion memory slot, then anything over that size may not work.
I bought this 4gb Kingston Micro SD with adapter for a Motorola Moto Q9h (AT&T), and it failed to recognize the Micro SD. It detected it, and let me know how much memory was there, but it would give me an error and would NOT allow me to save to it, or open the file I had on it. So, I sent the Moto Q9h back and replaced with a Blackberry Curve 8300, which also stated that it had an expansion slot which would support up to a 2gb Micro SD. However, I tested it with another Blackberry 8300 model and it worked.
So, make sure that the Micro SD you're buying will work with your device. The safest bet is to go into the store and try it on your device.
The other thing, Motorola has failed in all aspects to compete in the PDA phone market. If you're thinking of buying a PDA phone device, avoid the Motorola. It failed in many way than just the expansion slot not working. I think the Windows Mobile OS was the other problem.
Customer Review: Great quality at a reasonable price!

I bought this memory card for my new Samsung Blackjack II smartphone and I couldn't be happier. I even bought a smaller 2 gig version for my Father who has the same phone.
There isn't much to say about it other than it works flawlessly, it was very affordable compared to other brands in the same category, and it seems to be made of high quality materials. The included adapter is truly where this product shines for me. I have a digital camera that uses standard SD cards so with the adapter I can take some pictures on my camera and then easily swap the card into my smart phone to email them or upload them to my blog.
All in all a memory card is a memory card, there isn't much in the way of features to compare between brands. So I use cost, quality, and brand reputation (including user reviews) to determine which companies memory I want to buy. After doing the research this product is by far the best.
Customer Review: Works Like a Charm!

I bought the Kingston 4gb micro SDHC card for my Blackberry 8830. At the current time, my particular Blackberry cannot accommodate a card larger than 4 gb, due to OS software that is not yet up to speed. The Kingston card is every bit as good as the more popular brands, with the exception of having a lower price. Be aware that using the included SD adapter is great...HOWEVER, if your laptop or desktop SD reader is not rated to read HC (high capacity) cards, then you may not be able to view the contents of the card or make changes using your computer(s). This happened to me, so I purchased a $10 USB SDHC card reader, and now I can use these higher-capacity cards in both my older laptop and desktop SD drives. Of course you can transfer data via a direct connection with your cell phone, for example, but it usually takes longer to do it that way.Customer Review: Kingston 4 GB micro SDHC Class 4 memory

Great customer service & Free tech support at Kingston where you actually speak to a live person and it comes with a lifetime warranty which will likely keep me buying Kingston memory.
This memory card is being used as added memory in a Garmin Oregon 400t GPS receiver. Works perfectly and shows up as an external drive when connected via the Oregon's USB cable.
A minor issue people should realize, not with the memory card itself, is that above 2GB is considered high-capacity and only directly read by newer Vista computers and not other computers or scanner/copiers with card slots. Kingston told me a person either needs to transfer data from memory larger than 2GB while it is installed in the device or get a USB high capacity memory card reader.
Customer Review: Works fine with Nokia E51
Summary: 5 Stars
Works great and the speed is faster than I had expected. At first I had issues with the phone not recognizing the memory card, but it turns out that you have to push the card further in than you would expect. If you have an E51, keep sliding the card to the left until it almost disappears. Slide it slowly or else it will spring back out and not lock into place. When it is correctly inserted, it will click again and the phone will make a beep recognizing the inserted card. You will barely be able to see the card anymore, just the edge of it.
The card comes with an adapter to use with standard size flash card readers, but I just use the bluetooth connection between my Macbook and the E51, so I cannot rate the adapter.
