The ongoing Windows Phone 7 micro-sd saga is just got a little bit more interesting today with what looks like the first ever Windows Phone 7 certified Micro-SD card courtesy of SanDisk and AT&T. As you are probably already aware of; WP7 doesn’t really “officially” support memory extension with micro-sd. Unfortunately for Microsoft, Samsung had the bright idea to include a user accessible micro-sd expansion slot on the Focus so users can add more storage to the handset. Because of the way WP7 handles its memory partitioning the card has to apparently be certified by MS just to make sure that it won’t screw up your data after a while. So there you have it, this SanDisk 8GB Class 4 microSDHC is the first out of the gate. It will set you back 32$.
