Yes, 2 weeks :/, but i don't care, i'm happy with my phone, but I do see were you are going with this, and isn't it like $20-$30 to sign up anyway?
P.S, Only have Bj's near me, costco is unreasonably to far to drive.

LOL: yea it is not worth a membership to get a $20 sd card but if your already a member or are looking at buying a TV or something. or in my case a years suply of somthing....

Nice! In for one.

I stumbled across it because I'm always on eBay. I figured why not replace my crappy class 4 8GB card with this monster? My girl can have my 8gb because she doesn't have a card so it works perfect. These guys have already sold like 150 since I purchased mine this morning! WOW. Also, just got notification mine already shipped. Can't beat it!

Thanks, just bought me one as well!

US only?

people must have jumped on it or something, up to US $32.99

Yup it's back up to its normal price (hence deal of the day)
But still, that's a pretty good price.

I just picked up transcend 32gb class 10 for $20 from Amazon last week. Deals are out there

That's odd, the sandisk works just fine in mine.

As low as $62 on Amazon right now. I got mine for $53. You gotta watch for price breaks.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_st?k...282,k:SanDisk+Ultra+64GB+microSDXC&sort=price

$53 is a darn good price. I got a SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC on a best buy daily deal for $49 about a month ago. Doesn't look like they even carry it now on their site, but Amazon has it for $82.

I bought one of the eBay 16.99 ones. We'll see what and if I get something.

Better check the the actual size of that card. On SD cards it is possible to fake the card so it reports a larger size than the card actually is.
You might look at this URL http://flashchiptech.wordpress.com/...ownload-to-check-flash-drives-and-memory-car/
Also it is best to format SD cards with a dedicated formatter. I like SDformatter
Also a good test program is H2testw See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730285

Are you letting it do the default ('exFAT") format in Windows/7? You don't want that, although it works with the Samsung ROM, it won't work with Cyanomod unless you format it as "FAT32" instead. You can use the command-line switches or there's a "FAT32 Gui" program somewhere around here - I can't seem to put my fingers on the link right now, but I found it within the past few days. If you can, use the phone to format it instead of a PC, that always insures FAT32. ("exFAT" isn't supported by CYM because of the funky licensing Microsoft has for exFAT)

Aside from card size, doesnt card speed play a factor in whether these 64gb cards will work? Isnt the appropriate question "what is the best deal on a 64gb class 10 SD card that actually works"?

Those ebay 16.99 cards I thought were found to be class 1 or 4, I don't remember. And they're from china but hey, sometimes they are legit. I've gotten great knock off deals there before.

I ended up ordering the best buy one. I don't think there is a huge difference between class 6 and 10. At least imo.

Ya, I am really thinking about getting the Bust Buy one but I dont know about the class 6. (I contacted SanDisk a few days ago and they told me that they only make the class 10 version at the moment)
Do you think I should get the class 6 from Bust Buy?

I got it

Well, I got it just before they took off the deal (its only $10 more, $60). I never knew Bust Buy to have good deals, I hope this was a good decision.

VZW Discontinues Galaxy S3 32GB Edition

Why? I just bought mine a week ago and now they are gone. Defective?

Hopefully this boosts the value of my 32gb by a bit then when in upgrade later this year
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Probably a move to take more feature away from their customers, only to bring it back as an added monthly fee later ($5/mo for 32gb model anyone?)

There not defective. The 32gb S3 has been out for about 6 months which is average for a smartphone life span. It could also be that the 32gb version is not selling as good as the 16gb version. Who knows!!

We'll at least they didn't drop it to a penny one week after I paid retail. That would really hurt my feelings. Not sure where they going with this "bigger is not better" path they are taking. I didn't like the DNA as it didn't have an SD Card slot and worried about having only 16GB with this new internal SD card scheme. Loved the Razr Maxx HD but it only had 1GB RAM.
Love my S3 now that I am getting used to it other than it being slipperier than a bar of soap. Finally got it into a Seidio Convert but it might be overkill.

Maybe because the s4 is coming and orally also because the 16gb sells more

It's almost certainly because it wasn't selling as well as the 16 gig version. Most people wouldn't pay the extra hundred dollars when you can get a 64gb sdcard for $40.

Yes, but you can't put apps on external SD's anymore (yes with iffy apps and hacks) plus I'm guessing the internal memory is faster.

Ya, I JUST purchased a Verizon S3 32gb/Pebble blue because I have the Note 2 but I wanted something a tad smaller that I knew had GREAT development! The 32gb model is def where it's at!! :good: That gives you ample space to actually install huge games AND all of your favorite apps... I got it for a cool $325 off contract! I installed a few of the latest roms and they are VERY smooth compared to when I had it 5 months ago. I guaranty they were barely selling them...

The 32GB version probably wasn't selling as well because non Verizon stores didn't stock it. Not all verizon stores stocked it. People don't like to wait.

I have the 32GB pebble blue, so glad I got mine when I did ! For the $50 extra it was worth it.

Its not available in the stores,but it is available online to order. I am actually ordering one to replace my GN2 I sold. Verizon retail tole me it doesn't sell as well, but I don't buy that. $50 for twice the memory compared to Apple who charges $100+ for each memory upgrade option.
BTW, Best Buy doesn't stock the 32GB either but Amazon Wireless does.

got my 32gig pebble on preorder thru BBuy last july - thought it was kinda dumb to even offer a 16 gig model... who the carp wants less??? I'm sure the 16 giger only existed to offer the $199 price point they thought they needed.

This makes me feel good about GS4 purchase about 6 months after release... I can certainly pay $400 or less for it to keep my unlimited data

ugh..
Hmm.. that's weird. I hope it is not because of the S4. I don't want to see the awesome development for our phones slowly start to disappear...

I put up the extra fifty bucks for it and had to have it ordered because no stores had it in stock. Fine, no biggie to wait 3 days for double the internal memory.
Also went and dropped a 64 gig microsd in it - If I could have got a 64 gig internal version I still would have put a 64 external.
It doesn't matter how much space is available, I always need more.
You ever seen how much space a dev project takes up?

When I bought my S3 from the Verizon store I was told that the 32gb version was just a 16gb model with a 16gb sdcard installed. Obviously I just bought the 16gb model and threw in my old sdcard. Is there actually a 32gb internal storage version?

Samsung SD Card ( 32Gb ) - Good Deal

I was looking for a SD card cause mines finally gave in after so many years with it. I found it on Amazon seems pretty good for the price so I'm sharing the word.

The evo isn't by any means slow but for only 4 dollars more it makes sense to upgrade to the pro. But for the 64 version I'd recommend the evo over the pro.

That is an exceptionally good price on the Pro model which is a faster read/write speed. They are usually about twice as much as the Evo model.

I went with the 32 GB Pro from Amazon a couple of weeks ago, and I paid $8 more than this recent price. Depending on how my usage goes, I may end up getting a 64 GB card later on. But for now, I figured between cloud storage and the extra 32 GB on board, this should be more than enough.

i bought the Samsung PRO 64GB last week from Amazon for $44. Great SD card.
