Motorola V710
SD slot = TransFlash slot?
I first saw that the v710 was going to have an SD-compatible slot, so I picked up a 256 on sale.
Then I see on PhoneScoop that it's a "Trans Flash" card. What the heck!

"When inserted into an available SD adapter, TransFlash converts into the SD card for interoperability with standard SD devices so consumers can exchange data between their TransFlash-equipped mobile phone and any SD compatible host, such as a digital camera, PDA or laptop PC."
The Transflash is backward compatible with SD (with adapt...

TransFlash is 1/4 the size of SD - it's really tiny. There will be an adapter that will let you put a TransFlash card into an SD slot, but due to the size difference, there's no way it could ever work the other way around.

Yes, and in addition I dont the major retailers are even selling transflash yet. Its too bad they don't just use regular SD or MMC. At least then I could use the memory card from my mp3 player.

Yeah, I was suprised too that they didn't just use the normal SD card. They did with the Motorola MPx200, which is a VERY popular phone. Sounds though like the trans-flash may become an industry standard for phones and that it's being launched with the V710.

I presume you two aren't complaining about the size of the 710? If they used SD cards, the phone would have to be bigger.

No, I'm not complaining (although I DO have three SD cards).
You sure the V710 would have to be bigger? It's already bigger than the V600 (which I trial used for 28 days) which was bigger than my friends MPx200 (which DOES use the SC cards). I thought I saw pictures which showed the 710 bigger then the V600, which again is bigger then the MPx200, so I do not see why the V710 would have to be bigger if it used the SD rather than the trans-flash. I would not be surprised if they could have engineered it in the existing chassis. Still, it looks like the trans-flas...
