I'm to believe its like this.

Lets say you've got 2 memory cards.
Example 1 :
2GB card = 500 files
4GB card = 500 files
Both will take same time to read out, no lag.

It'll be obvious when you store more files in the 4GB card, it'll take more time to read out, resulting in lag.
*
wow. great info there,
i think it's normal to have abit delay because 4GB its large storage though.

yeah! it's the pulse red.
saw the phone in january. ap set retail at rm980 back then with 1gb m2 but i've got a feeling this pulse red color peel of quite easy. even the demo phone already had some small black dot on the battery cover.
correct me if i am wrong.

btw, too many people is using the noble blue. thats why i settled for the ivory gold.  thumbup.gif

tested my phone with sandisk 4gb m2. only detected 2gb. i am on r8ba024. any update require?
even on 1gb m2, the phone will lag while accessing the m2 card. especially when we create to many folder inside the card.
so, keep it simple.
*
yeah, you are right, there's alot ivory blue users out there including me smile.gif
by the way, how ivory gold looks for k810i?
i never see it before,
erm, my firmware were also r8ba024, i think that's the latest, correct me if i'm wrong,
so, no update required i guess.

tat mean k810i oni support up 2 2gb?
but then izzit still can save more than 2gb if u put 4gb card?
*
as like what yngwie said, you can equipped your k810i with 4GB but the phone will only detects 2GB and the other 2GB will remain as mass storage just like thumb drive, correct me if i'm wrong.

is tat mean oni 2gb data will be visibled in the phone?
those data saved after 2gb remain invisible in the phone, oni when we connect 2 pc/laptop we will c all of the files?

coz currently i using old 6230 wif 512mb...
my phone cant tell me the exact storage of the memory card, however, i still can save N c all the files up to 512mb in the phone...
oni the memory status displayed in the phone is wrong...
*
seems like k810i supports 4GB, because G-Izzat's can detects his 4GB, then i think i should give it a try too.

I've read many owners seem to have no problems with 4GB card, BUT
Factors to consider.

1) 4GB card didn't exist when K810i was launched. SE specs says up to 2GB only. So it could compatible but not entirely.

2) Old card readers can't fully format or access 2GB capacity. You'll need a new/current card reader that fully access up to 8GB or more. This means the reader chip have capacity limitations at the point of invention. The phone may have a similar problem in theory due to hardware limitations.

3). K810i may see up to 8GB memory card but may only report back 2GB or 4GB depending on the chipset (check memory status), which no-one knows if one have updated hardware for full compatibility. Some owners may be lucky, some not. Its not conclusive at this point, and not entirely blame the firmware.

I've no way of confirming my phone can use 4GB or 8GB card, as all new ones are SEALED packed, can't test out fully.
*
thanks for sharing with so useful info. hope someone that already tested their k810i to posted up here the results.

hm... can consider get a 4gb instead of 2gb if i buy k810...
hopefully by the end of tis month can get 1...smile.gif

any pros N cons for tis phone?
*
of course there's no perfection in this world, but in my opinion though, k810i performs quite well, because i'm also n73me user too, k810 won't lose from it's design, but the keypad catches fingerprints, then you might need to wipe all the time, as for the camera, i think look nicer compared to other phones. worth to buy because the price is reasonable,
others i think bsl555 already give a very detailed explaination

No EDGE feature..but not important if you don't use it.
Of course don't compare with W series audio features...no MegaBass and Walkman buttons.
Some people don't like the buttons design. I thought the K850i buttons looks even worse and bland.
Joystick a bit fiddly especially if one have big fingers.
Camera just ok.... Pictures are somewhat lacking vibrance and color. High noise with zoomed pics. Please don't compare with real Cybershot camera which have bigger lens and optical zoom.
Other than those, bang for the buck features and performance at sub RM800 category. Nokia can't offer the same phone features at this price.
Don't get poisoned by people talking of modded firmwares. Its risky business unless you understand the science of it all COMPLETELY!. You may dead-brick the phone for no logical reason.
*
ya. that's why there existed W series mainly for music functions, megabass & walkman buttons,
I found out that the keypad abit hard to press, What do you think about it?
joystick it's like abit hard, compared to previous models like K750i?

eternity4av - u mean k810 keypad N joystick hard 2 press? any different btw ap set N original set?

maybe just for me only, because i've been using nokia all the while, ap set and original set difference should be the warranty, correct me if i'm wrong

As I said, EDGE is not really important with mid priced cellphones. Its not popular here as ISP's are not offering cheap EDGE plans, and phones aren't user friendly for internet use...better off with Wifi laptop.
Malaysians are wary and calculative, when it comes to $$ factor on extra subscription and added services which ISP
s don't have affordable packages., Ironically most people are making ISP' s rich with huge number of sms's flying round every second!.

ya, edge abit pricey, if you really going to use internet while at outdoor, i would like to recommend you all those wifi enabled phones,

initially was wanted to wait until the warranty is over but i decided to do simple mod' to my phone soon.
already done one to my friend's over warranty k810i and the sound is louder than ever.
some more anything happened during modding' i can always send the phone to sc.... paiseh  sweat.gif

^wind^, the keypad and joystick in k810i are a lil' harder to press and maybe quite annoying for fast sms but i reckoned
it's tougher than the k800i ones. not easily spoilt.
eternity4av was right about AP and authorised / ori dealer; the main different is warranty and after sales services.
original thorus or midland set usually do the software upgrading for free while AP doesn't.
as we already know, some lousy handphone shop tend to sell a recond unit and passed it as a new unit just by changing the housing
and some parts.

just sharing my bad experience;
a friend of mine almost fell for it. she put a 10% deposite for a new phone from a shop in lowyat cuz' the salesman asked her to do so. i then accompany her to the shop on the next day. i checked the 'new' phone that had been reserved to her and mind you! the life timer
already mentioned a few hours of usage! the salesman refused a replacement. no refund so she have to settled for 1gb of m2 card while we bought a new se phone in my friend's shop somewhere in pandan kapital later that day.
at the same time, a malay guy come to claim a warranty for his faulty 'new' se phone which was promised 3 days 1 to 1 exchange! the malay guy come on the 3rd day cuz his new se suddenly no display de. the salesman simply told him 'masuk air' even when the
'water indicator' on the phone still in pure white! when the malay guy insisted for replacement, the salesman told him he cannot do anything cuz his supervisor is not around and keep on giving a lot of excuses. i just left when the heated argument happened.

for k810i, the water indicator is on the battery, it's the square 3 white line next to the battery contact or something. can't remember.
the white surface will change to darker color once it was in contact with water. haven't try though  smile.gif
the service info can be accessed by pressing >*<<*<* where > = pressing the joystick to right side and < = to left side.
total usage will show the covered hours. and don't forget to check if the imei on the phone is identical to the board by pressing *#06#.
try everything from camera zoom to making call. some shop will not entertain when we come back for the phone's fault  sweat.gif
*
totaly a nightmare, so for others, please beware when you buying from a shop, and yet the best is always is mostly people recommended ones.

Bound to have a lot of scumbag sellers around to con anyone for a fast buck in big shopping complexes. Best to be armed with keeping touch of phone secrets, user opinions and always asking the seller who their AP source. If they mention some farnie and unheard off names, the warranty sticker looks fake on actual phone, just leave the shop immediately..there's many other shops to browse...thats my shopping policy.

ya, totaly agreed, i think i also need to follow your way in the future, because i found it more effective.

if anything goes wrong during the modding; other than erom corrupted or burned chips(due to power overflow, which is seldom happened, anyway), we can always bring back the phone to sc and pay some bucks to get the phone works as usual. i heard that it cost around 60 bucks.
i used a usb cable with extra condensor to stabilize the power / signal that goes into my previous k750i for modding.
make sure the source code is reliable too!
master the art of phone modding in our very own se modding thread  at; http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/513166
