This MIGHT allow you to type in the codes that correspond to ring tones; some are entered in text strings, and need to be sent to the phone in paid text messages.

This sim card feature may be a way around that.

I purchased a 512MB/SD card reader from USBGeek based on the Gadgeteer review a month ago or so. I received the reader and it worked fine...but...inserting my 1 GB SD card was difficult...and ended up destroying the card. In fact, I just took the drive/card reader apart yesterday and the remains of the plastic edge from my SD card was still inside. I'm writing this because Julie mentioned she had difficulty inserting one of her cards in the reader she just reviewed...and while she didn't appear to damage her card...I would be very wary of these. USBGeek to their credit immediately refunded my money for the drive, but I'm still out the $40 1GB SD card. But I mainly want to warn others: if you buy one of these and your card doesn't slide in easily...I would return it immediately. mark.

T-Flash was the original name and format that SanDisk created (early 2004, I believe). The SD Card Association later adopted the specifications in early 2005. Since it already complied to the SD card standard, there was very little, if any, to change.

By the way, can anyone tell me what the difference is between MicroSD and T-Flash cards?
