Quick Answer Anyone Concerning TransFlash and the Adapter

BPowers

What is the adapter called? Is it just the SD one that Sandisk makes? Is there anywhere that pairs the two devices together for delivery convienience?

Let me know ASAP, I'd like to buy tonight.

Wait. It comes with one that connects to a computer through USB? There are no wires or anything in the pictures. I am not sure I get it.

The transflash card comes with an adapter that makes it the size of a normal SD card. That is what people are talking about when referring to the SD adapter.

Now I think what you are asking about is the SD reader/writer that hooks up to your computer so you can drag and drop into the sd/transflash card.

I don't know of any places that bundle these two together but you can probably order them both on the same order and have it shipped together. You can probably do this at any site that offers the transflash card (ie buy.com, amazon.com, etc.)

Hope this helped!

Buy.com does not mention the adapter anywhere. Is it safe to assume that it comes with it? It's at a lower price of 33 dollars rather than 44 which is what seems normal.

Yes it is fine. the adapter comes in the same sealed package, so full retail has the adapter.

Get a card reader with usb 2.0 interface it is the fastest posible.

I've only seen the packaging of the transflash card including the adapter as well. I personally would go with chumbo.com which has it for $37.99 with free 2 day shipping. I don't know if they still have it in stock but that was the one I was going with (just gotta wait to get the phone first).

So I don't think they sell just the transflash card by itself but I don't know for sure. Sorry.

Okay...

Got the card, adapter and the 2.0 reader.

Now what do you guys think about bluetooth headsets? I really like the look of some of the Sony Ericssons to be totally honest, there is a black one and a silver one, they both look real nice.

The moto ones seem much bulkier than some of the others.

Is it safe to assume that Verizon is going to have bluetooth headsets at launch or is that asking too much?

The transflash card comes with an SD adapter. SD is a standard memory card. Then you need to buy a USB card reader/writer that can accept SD cards. then you put the transflash and adapter into the card reader/writer.
