After emailing Amazon to enquire if this particular model came with the TransFlash to SD card adapter and receiving a response that they didn't know, I contacted SanDisk with the model number to find out on my own. Their response was much more helpful, SanDisk said that all their TransFlash cards come with the SD card adapter (Secure Digital). I have a Motorolla V710, all I had to do to put MP3's (which can be used for ringers) onto this card is format it in my phone and then use a memory card reader to add MP3's to the card. Easy, Quick and Effective. This is a great product for the price, buy it and enjoy!

The Transflash card used to be called T-Flash and was for some reason renamed. In the package an included transflash to SD memory adapter allows you to connect to a SD compatable memory reader for a PC through a USB 2.0 interface. Many other devices are SD (secure disk) compatable and will read the transflash while inserted in its included SD adapter without a problem! I started using this on my T720 Motorola Cel phone to store MP3's and pictures but later picked up a Gateway M320x Laptop and a VX6600 Pocket PC (verizon), and both have SD memory ports. I have the convenience of transferring files from all my portable electronic devices except for my Sony digital camera which uses Memory Stick type storage.

The first thing that struck me as amazing is the size of the transflash memory. 256mb in a little device that I can barely keep hold of in two fingers. I can store 2 full albums of mp3's or a good supply of pictures taken on either of my phones.

I purchased a cheap SD memory reader and plugged the transflash card to the SD adapter and it immediately read as a removable storage drive on my Windows XP based computer. That is of course for my desktop that doesnt have SD slots. But I also now have the option of moving the files to the laptop and using wireless to push it out onto my other home computers.

One problem I did have was files kept getting corrupted (on my motorola T710) when I tried to read them on the phone. I fixed this by formatting the card (just like formatting a built in hard drive). Not sure if this was a problem of how the phone formatted the memory when it built all the default directories or if it was the reader or card itself. But the format fixed it with no further issues.

If you have any problems with file corruption, pop the card into a PC and format it. If you arent familiar with formatting drives check with someone you know that can help you. I almost posted the instructions on here but also figured it would be really easy for someone to make a mistake and wipe out a different drive in the process. I will email you some directions if you feel adventurous and want to try on your own.

Although the Motorola's official online spec sheet for the E815 says that the E815 supports the Transflash memory format for up to 128 MB, I took my chances and bought this card anyway (I contacted Motorola's customer service beforehand and they responded that they only tested the phone using a 128 MB chip but that a 256 MB chip may work). After formatting the card with the phone, I then inserted it using the included SD adapter into a Kingsmax SD/MMC reader/writer that I purchased from Newegg. The end result: 200 MB of mp3 music on my cell phone plus 50 MB I left free so that I can store more than 200 photos on my phone. Now, I don't have to pay 25 cents per a photo to transfer photos through Verizon's PIX service, I just put the pictures on my card and then transfer them to my computer (the photos are quite solid for a cell phone by the way since the E815 has a 1.3 Megapixel camera). Plus, there's the added advantage that you can use this card again in future cellphones that support the Transflash memory standard. The only caveat I have is that this card is extremely small, about the size of a penny, so just be careful when taking it in and out of the phone.

This transflash card is a must have if you own a Motorola V710. It allows you to move pictures to your PC very easily. Better yet, it allows you to move audio to the phone to use as a MP3 player. As mentioned in the other review, it comes with the SD card adapter. My laptop has a SD slot, so it doesn't get much easier to use. Buy it and be able to use more of the features of the V710. Got a great price here on Amazon with free shipping!

Got my tf card a few weeks back, and I love it. I can store all the pictures and video I take on there, and the card makes them easy to transfer to and from my pc. It also bumped the video recorder from 15 seconds to 3 minutes. Great for storing mp3's on the phone too. I recommend that everyone with a Motorola E815 (or any other compatible phone) pick one of these up immediately.

I got this for my Samsung A920 cell phone. I love it. It holds about 45 songs and hundreds of pictures. The best thing is I can stick it in the SD adaptor and put that in the media card reader on my computer and transfer songs and pictures between the two. Very easy to use. It's amazing how something so small can hold so much info.

Great price. The card works perfectly in my motorola phone and with the included SD adaptor, it works fine in my laptop SD slot too. It's semi-durable because it wasn't meant to be removed but I take it out of my phone all the time and it's held up pretty well.

Purchased this module for my V710 with the intent on leaving my MP3 player at home. Formatting the Transflash was just a matter of inserting it into my phone. That's it! The necessary folders are now on the module. I already had the SD card reader, so pulling music from my computer and putting it on the transflash was only a click and drag exercise. With free software off the internet I've also used the module to create ringtones from my favorite songs and convert .mpg's into 3GP videos to watch on my phone. Very cool.

Couldn't wait for the 512MB version for my cell phone, so I got this one. Holds a ton of mp3s and videos, its a great value for the money!

This Transflash card works great in my Motorola V710 phone. I simply formatted the card on the phone, then took it out, put it into the Secure Digital size adapter (that it comes with), then put it into my printer(that accepts media cards). I was then able to transfer MP3's onto the card, just like it was another drive on my computer. When done, take it out of the adapter, put it in the phone and your ready to go. Works great.
