SOLVED: Can I use a SDHC card in my Treo 700w? - Treo Forum

spicybanana23 · 11-06-2007, 06:05 PM

I just got a 4GB SDHC card, and my Treo 700w won't reconize it, it says it is not installed. How do I install or format it?? Please reply if you know how, or if you know anything about it. I need this information ASAP.

I don't think WM has SDHC drivers and if it says it can't use the card it can't

I'm haveing the exact same problem. I'm hoping anyone can help me with this issue. My wife and I each have our own 700wx through VZN. I called the Treonauts 1-800 number and asked if the 4GB SCHD card that I found on the site would really work with the phone and was told yes. I also asked if there was something special done to your cards to make them work or are they the same as any other cards that are sold anywhere else. I was told as long as its the same mfn# it's the exact same card. So I bought 2 on ebay (exact same card) and they don't work. I thought of formatting them and my computers reader won't recognize the cards either. I called Treonauts again and this time was told that the 700wx will only recognize a 2GB card and no more. Also the web site now doesn't list a 4GB card that's compatible with the 700wx. So what gives? Was I lied to, did I just get a disgruntled worker on the phone the first time, or is there something I'm missing to make these cards actually work? Thanks in advance for any help.

Well, I see at least someone else is having the same problem. This really sucks.

Qcksilver · 11-06-2007, 08:54 PM

Yes it does suck! I just wish I could get an answer from anyone. I bought the darn cards already due to the Treonauts Store telling me they would work. Also the 4GB cards came up as compatible on the web site. But like I said above, they just aren't being recognized, and now the Treonauts Store says they aren't suppossed to work. The 700wx only recognized 2GB and no more.

Yeah, I didn't even know that my Treo wasn't compatable with it, and then, after I bought it, and it was sent to me, I couldn't use it!!!!!

He has a 700W not a WX i think there are differences.

There are differences between the 700w and the 700wx, but the max SD card capacity is not one of them, based on Andrew's comparison chart, here.
