W580i can supposedly use up to 4GB M2 memory though I haven't personally tried it. See this link: Sony Ericsson - Memory stick compatibility chart
cool...thanks!
next question would be where to buy cheap 2GB/4GB M2? :p
Using 8gb right now - no actual problems except that the Info screen only shos 4gb - File Menu's info screen shows full 8.
I got mine for around $103 ... overpaid as far as I'm concerned, but little choice.
You could check newegg.com, though they're not the cheapest these days. Try pricewatch, pricegrabber, or google products. I bet you can find one for pretty cheap. Unfortunately M2 mem isn't cheap like SD mem is :(
i know....that sucks....thanks guys! :D
mine came with free 8GB upgrade.. had to wait about a month to get it, but sweet for free... mine also only shows 4GB on info, but all 8 are there.
Wait. You guy say that w580i can use with 8Gb? Are you guarantee it? Sony said that it only support up to 4Gb.
Yup - I have w580i (a debranded at&t version) and a Sandisk 8gb M2 card - they work perfectly. The card has 1.5gb of free space left though.
Did sony tell you that it only supports 4gb or did you find it on their website?
Unfortunately I can't compare to 2 or 4gb version .. .but speed with 8gb seems acceptable to me.
The compatibility charts posted at SE site generally refer to the largest card they confirmed as working at the time of the chart's publishing ... but seems not to be a limitation of the OS or the phone's hardware ... does annoy me though ...they should list it up to the max supported size! Or maybe they just don't know for sure until new cards are rolled out.
