Well, the E61 battery, with presumably the same cell, works great and delivers over twice the stock battery life in an N800, if that helps. :)

The manufacturer of the metal cover assures me that they have it right now and will be sending me the final cover this week. It has taken much longer that they originally said and I am sure it has hurt the interest in this project. But for those who has already purchased it I am hearing thing that will make me continue.
so keep sending the email if you still want one to cgraves256@optonline.net

Thanks

I appreciate your desire to get the design right. Thanks for the update.

I like the idea of the regular sd card as they are cheaper and are much higher in capacity but, I am not so sure if I want the custom battery cover that is needed for it to be on the N810. I am interested though.

Re: 32GB SD adapter For N810
 
If you buy the mod and the metal case you might as well also invest in the Mugen battery (eten.hu has 'em in stock again on 25 nov). I did this, and while it is quite an investment in the device (compared to e.g. a new Pandora or in 2009 the newer NIT) it does prolong the lifetime of the device.

Unfortunately I also just bought a microSD 8 GB, but oh well, mistakes happen.

I keep the original battery loaded at 40% to prolong it, and to have a reserve battery.

So, I am interested in buying the SD mod kit with the metal cover (in 1 time to cut the S&H costs) and once I have both will write my review here.

I always thought... it is better to completely drain the battery as often as you can, then recharge completely, to keep it at its maximal capacity. Am I mistaken ?

Re: 32GB SD adapter For N810
 
Yes, you are mistaken.. that would work with some older metal hydrid batteries, but it's completely wrong for lithium-ion or lithium-polymer batteries. Every deep discharge will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Instead, try to top it up as soon as you get the chance.

(The above applies to "cool" devices like cellphones and internet tablets. Laptops have other problems because they're much hotter inside.)

Re: 32GB SD adapter For N810
 
craves1, just wanted to confirm that I'm still interested in a hacker's version of the full-SD mod. Whatever it takes to make it all fit under the original case (taking apart the SD card and removing the plastic, soldering it directly to your adapter without a socket, etc).

It should be available in less than 2 weeks. The parts are already on order.

Thanks

Re: 32GB SD adapter For N810
 
I'm really looking forward to this, then i can use my n800 cards!
Just undecided over the mugen battery or not.. guess i can buy the version that can cope with the battery, and pick the battery up as and when.

Just trying to find out what is happening with this project. I would love to get two of these with the metal back cover for Christmas, I have emailed 3 or 4 times but have not recieved a response.

Is this a dead project?

No this is not a dead project. The last samples of the metal covers are in transit to me now. I should have them Thursday or Friday. Sorry But I have been on vacation until today. The first pieces for people who sent me email will be ready within the next few weeks. I would like to send it out long before Christmas but I am more concerned about the manufacturer getting the door to clip properly.

I have received many email about this project and I do not answer them all but When they are ready to go I will contact everybody who sent email first.

I'd like to put my name down for the version that works with the standard battery please and metal cover.

Thanks.

Re: 32GB SD adapter For N810
 
For those who have not found it, I believe about the lowest shipped cost for a 32Gb is $120 from Costco for their PNY Class 4.

http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product...=1&topnav=&s=1

Anyone found a better shipped price for a name brand 32Gb SDHC?

Yes, I received the final production samples of the metal cover today and they are OK. The first production quantities are due to ship to me on December 19th, too late for those of you who requested them for Christmas but they will be on the web site next week for ordering. I am only making for now a total of 250 pieces, 100 Black and 150 Stainless steel. If they go OK I will make more. If they do not sale OK then I will move on to my next project.

Thanks for all the email and the link will be posted as soon as I receive the shipment.

There have been many delays by the Manufacturer of the metal case
I expected the have these ready in the beginning of November.

Appreciate the hard work and the update. I just might have to buy 2, one of each color!!

Re: 32GB SD adapter For N810
 
Count me in. I want one. I'd love the idea of a rear camera and dual mem card as well. Tilt stick too.

Would all of that fit back there with that 4mm thick back cover or would you need to make a bigger one.

Re: 32GB SD adapter For N810
 
just a quick question....i have just purchased an 810 wimax...will this mod work on the wimax edition as well? I don't plan on purchasing the mugen battery & cover....so can i still order a black metal cover from craves?

thanks to all of you in advance.

this is my first post on this forum and i'm exicted to read all of the threads!

happy holidays.

Re: 32GB SD adapter For N810
 
Yes, the N810 Wmax and the orginal N810 are indentical except for the Wimax module. Physical dimensions are the same and all attachments for one will work on the other.

It will be Posted by this Saturday for the Stainless Steel version. I have them in house now. I am working on the purchase pages and kits each night.

I have been very busy with my remote control company due to the economy.


For those who asked for them the hackers version is also ready.

Thanks

I would just love to skip the whole micro card thing altogether so, I am really looking forward to this. I might even go for the hackers version and risk it all. Nothing beats having more storage.
