How fast is the USB transfer rate?

---

Hi all,

I am about to switch from Prophet to Polaris. One very annoying problem of the Prophet is the extremely slow USB transfer rate (I guess it supports USB 1.1 only) - I have to transfer large stuff to the memory card directly.

How does the Polaris perform in this respect?

Polaris work on usb 2.0.

Bye

If you are still interested (last weekend I had to transfer few files):

Tested with a 1GB Sandisk (was in package)
~0,5MB/s USB (Vista 64-Bit, 333MB moviefile transferred in 10:47min)
~100kb/s Bluetooth (Macbook OsX 10.4, 3MB moviefile)

so keep your cardreader

(Maybe the Sandisk isn't the fastest, but I believe that the phone restricts the transferrate. So USB 2.0 is just a marketing trick)

Damn, too bad So this means you cannot practically use your device as a USB stick with tools like CardExport...

If you buy a MicroSD card from Sandisk you get a USB cardreader as well.
This is the fastest method to transfer large files from a PC to your memory card.

That's exactly what I did an hour ago Still, it would have been much easier if I could transfer the data directly through the device...
