Has anyone ever switched out the SD cards in the Venue to increase memory? I'm thinking about buying an unlocked phone, since I don't want to spend 80 dollars a month for a monthly contract, but I need 32 gigabyte of memory, so I was thinking of doing what
this article described and switching the SD card for a larger one. Beyond voiding the warrenty, is there any risk/downside to doing that?
well, first thing I would do, is go to support.dell.com and enter the Service Tag that is under your device battery. See how long your device has left in warranty. If it is out of warranty, then you have nothing holding you back. However if it is in warranty, I would wait because you could have one of the batteries that overheats...and if you've broken that seal over the SD card, you're screwed. Dell will send it right back to you.
To my knowledge, you have to be careful as to which kind of card you put in. You can probably be sure that a class 2 or class 4 card would work, but I would not try anything faster because it might fail.
I just purchased my DVP from Amazon Warehouse two days ago. I still have 325 days left on my warranty...so I'll tough it out until then, before I change out the MicroSD card.
Hopefully Dell will come back with another DVP, but without the qwerty. With the beautiful design that the current DVP has, I can only dream of what one would look like, that was thinner and had more storage.
