I'm only getting about 300k/sec when transferring files via USB2 to the phone (the phones memory). Is it supposed to be this slow?
I have a MemoryStick Micro 1 GB waiting to be picked up at the store. If I only are gonna get 300k/sec, I'm not looking forward to filling my MemoryStick with 1 GB of music  |

I don't know because I don't have the phone, but IMO, it sounds great! My k700i speed used to take about 10 secs to transfer a file which was 200KB

I'm getting 40k/sec over bluetooth, so compared to that it's ok. But USB2 can handle up to 60 MB/sec (at the best but often not that fast).
I would be satisfied with 5 MB/sec, but with 300k/sec a 1 GB MemoryStick is hardly useful.

I can't get my usb connection working. I'm having to use bluetooth and I must admit I would be happier with a USB 2 connection.
When you connect the phone to the usb cable to you select file transfer? What happens after that do you see the phone as a drive in My Computer? |

Can someone else with K800 confirm this awful usb speed ?! Hi Speed is 480Mbit/s which is about 57mega bytes per second, theoretically !
If usb speed of K800 is around 300KB/s than this is scandal ! It is the same as it is in K750.

Why not buy a card reader with USB2 interface?
Not being funny but you sure its set up to run on usb2 properly? |

I'd rather not buy a card reader when it's supposed to work with the supplied cable. Btw, is there any card reader out there that supports MemoryStick Micro yet?
I don't know what else to do than connect the phone to my USB2-port on my PowerMac. My iPod Nano gets full speed on that port.
Found a spec that says MemoryStick Micro theoretically can handle upp to 160 MBps:
http://www.memorystick.org/eng/aboutms/micro.html
Don't know about the integrated memory, but if it is beacuase I'm using the integrated memory to test this, then photos should take up to 3 seconds to be written to the memory when taken. And I don't think that it takes that long.

Theres alot of confusion going on about USB 2.0. The speed for USB 2.0 is actually the same as USB 1.1 = 12 MBps! The 480 MBps is only for USB 2.0 HiSpeed! So if the K800i is equipped with USB 2.0 only then the highest possible speed would be close to 1 Mb/sec. Thinking about that this is a mobilephone where low power consumption is a must, i don't think that 300 Kb is that bad at all. If you need more speed then buy a cardreader - they are very cheap. |

When you buy a Memory Stick M2, it'll come with an adapter card to make it fit in anything that supports full-sized Memory Sticks (the same way you get an adapter with Memory Stick Duos) |

Buy a card reader it work really fast. And yesy use the adapter to convert MM to stand MS.
30mb in 1.40 Min -> 55.55555 minutes to fill 1Gig.
Thats really awful. |

Ok, didn't know that. So why use USB2 if the speed is the same as 1.1?
Anyhow, I bought a 1 GB card today and have just finnished testing transfer speeds. First I tried with my iPod Nano and I got 9,05 MB/sec.
I disconnected the Nano and plugged in the K800i in the same port, and I got 383 k/sec.
The speeds are the average speed when transferring a 144,9 MB file. |

Comparing USB speeds of K800i actually shows that this device is not using full USB1.1 specification at all! Unfortunately, using USB2.0 logo is only for pure marketing purpose, I'm wandering what kind of micro controller SE are using in their phones, it must be ages old, really shame and they sold us a story about new connector because of better speed transfers, can someone with new Nokia, Samsung,Motorola test their USB speed ?

How are you checking the transfer rate? |

The new connector is faster than the old connector. about 4-5 times faster. I get that K800 isn't USB 2.0 HIGH SPEED capable, but I'd still rather the fastport speed than the old style connector speed.
And they aren't using old micro-controller's - they have simply elected not to support USB 2.0 High Speed. This is to keep prices down.
I agree it sucks that K800 isn't USB 2 High Speed, but let's get the fact's straight about connector speeds. SE never said the fastport supported USB 2.0 High Speed transfers, they just said it was faster than the old style..
