Hi
Ive had my HTC Sensation (XE Beats) for about a month now - and absolutely love it. I've dropped my iPod and now use my phone as my mobile music player (the soundstage is great, and I use PowerAMP who's EQ is just superb!)... my iPod was a 30GB Video (from 2005?) - but I'm currently using the bundled MicroSD card which is 16GB (but only 11gb of that is available to use )...
I have looked at 32gb cards, and have read all the problems about getting fakes which are more like 3.2gb. But I've seen 64gb cards are now "available". And this is more attractive seeing as I was looking to buy a 64gb iPod touch anyway.
I put available in quotes there because... well they aren't exactly readily available (from UK stockists)... and even when they are - the delivery/dispatch dates are extremely vague - like that of Amazon.
Amazon are currently selling the SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra SDXC card for £99.99 - a good £65 off the RRP. IMO i think this is a reasonable price for such a new technology.
But the thing is... how can they sell these cards at such a low price? When even the smaller, less known brands such as Komputerbay are selling for more/a similar price?
And why the 1-2 month dispatch estimate? Only until a few weeks back the listing was 'Out of stock'....
How legit do you think this is? There are no reviews so I can't tell if you'd even get a card.... let alone how long you'd have to wait.
(Side note... it'd be great if you could post links to other stockists selling these hi-capacity cards!)
How about compatibility?

Actually, I believe the Sensation only supports up to 32gb.

Yes, this card works in the sensation. The guy who made this video says that he tried on his stock sensation and it worked.
Good to know.

I'd be wary buying these. I got scammed with one of the 32GB that was actually 2GB... of course nothing could be done because the seller disappeared. $30 down the drain

If you paid with like paypal, that's easily recovered. I've never had an issue myself and wouldn't pay tooooooo low anyway. It's too good to be true and normally it is

It was on Amazon last year. I'm pretty sure I paid with my CC something probably could have been done, but I didn't really know where to start. I pretty much only use paypal now though
also listed on Play.com for £99.99 (was £149.99) but unfortunately is also out of stock

On ebay- how is this possible? Are these garbage? http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Micro-SDHC-...gital_Camera_Memory_Cards&hash=item3a5f1832d6
The same thing shopping on google is $100-$120 http://www.google.com/products?q=32...SearchBox&oe=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wf
my experience is that cheap ebay stuff is usually just as good. probably fell off a truck or the seller has some sort of connect. i'd trust it tho
they probably have like 50 of them so the price is not a issue for them Ebay is generally safe got my droid 2 for 50 bucks
Probably counterfeit
You have to be careful with media cards...there's quite a big counterfeiting business in them...from what I've read.

I wouldn't waste my time. These cards are most likely fake. They show up to windows, your phone, or whatever as 32 gb but will really be a lot less. Once at capacity, for example 2gb, extra data becomes corrupted. Having the sandisk logo doesn't mean anything, there is a lot of fakes out there. The general rule is that if somethings too good to be true, it is.

His feed back looks pretty good to me. It's super easy to check for 32 gig's obviously if it isn't there then contact the seller. Worst case you lose $12 for a couple extra gigs. I might buy one
I bought one its not much to loose ill tell ya how it is

This is very true. The digital camera folks have a lot to say about this. The cards can be formatted way beyond their actual capacity, and then fail dramatically. When they go, they're gone. Here's a couple of articles I found:

I wish you guys the best of luck, but I'd also be real careful about keeping your stuff backed up off-site. I'd sure hate to lose all my nandroids!
Thanks for the feedback guys. I have a $50 gift card to best buy so I'll buy a real one.

how the hell did you fill up a 16Gb card saps? i have a ton of apps installed, cwm backups, etc......cant imagine putting much more on here unless i just filled it up with pics and video.....and i have 14Gb's free still....!
maybe you should just invest in one of those little micro sd to usb adapters and dump to the pc, or sync more to dropbox?
Music is a great way to fill up the microsd..

I have shopped around for these and Ebay seems to be the best. Here is the one that I got. Very good price. $14.50 with free shipping. Sure beats paying over $80
How reliable will that card be at that price point? I have purchased many items from Ebay, and memory cards being one of them. I have never had a problem out of mine, but at that price it almost seems to good to be true. I am looking forward to an update.
I heard that some of them aren't actually a 32gb, I heard that they are actually less than that.

Yep, that's correct! Lots of BS USB drives and SD cards that are just 2 and 4 GB but the firmware is bogus.
I had bought one a few months ago and it worked great. And was a true 32 gigger. Then...... I got a phone Call while I was uploading mp3's and without thinking I just unplugged the USB cable. Well that's not good to do. Always properly unmount. Thats why i just ordered another one. I will keep you guys posted on how this one works. Should be here any day now.

Never buy flash on eBay. I bought a 32GB SDHC a few months ago, one of hundreds of similar ones being sold by multiple other sellers. On the computer it showed as 32GB, formatted correctly, and everything. But it was not even 1GB in truth.
There is a price it costs to produce even the worst 32GB cost, and that cost is much higher than 15$.
For a MicroSD, the best right now is the Wintec 16GB Class 10 one at 30$.

this video proves it's a fake it LOOK exactly like the picture of the SD card in the seller's item
Google search for a program called h2testw.exe for USB stick drives and test it when it arrives. The firmware is bogus on the fakes....

I'm not quite sure how that video proves that the SD card I just bought is a fake. What's your point exactly?
IMHO, I think it's strictly a reference to the price..........legit sellers can't come even close to it plus offer free or low shipping as well. Best way to check is to download and run the proggy I listed above. Anywho, I seen this scam playout on many USB thumb drives, would be good to confirm a cheap legit seller!

lol cuz the SD card on the video looks like the SD card in the seller's item in the picture
when i saw that i was like "FAKEEEEE"
ripped off
most likely, if you found a 32gb class 10, it's a fake.
google sosfakeflash and h2testw
make sure to test it properly with that h2testw. Simply connecting it to your computer / phone and formatting it will not tell you the true capacity, since it has been reprogrammed to lie about its true capacity... You have to see how much actual data you can write to it and still recover.
Well what happen with this? Was it a fake? Test?

I would be cautious. There are legit sellers, but try to do as much research and read reviews/comments if any.
Ive gotten some pretty dirt cheap deals and they indeed were legit, so its kinda a hit and miss sometimes.
Goodluck tho.

What he is trying to say (although somewhat unclearly) is that counterfeit SD cards often have markings that are not quite correct. If you Google around there are articles or forum posts with photos of fake SD cards versus the real ones.
Of course, there are good fakes that get the markings right. So the only way to know for sure is to test for both capacity and write speed, as others already mentioned.

that link you provided is a fake memory card, only buy directly from amazon to guaranteed a genuine one, amazon marketplace sell 99% fakes so be careful.
Only buy from reputable sellers like amazon, there are too many fake memory cards from china, they look like the real thing but they are fakes. I only buy sandisk and Samsung brand sdcards from amazon. So far, no problems whatsoever.

Well I sold off an iPad mini 64GB LTE that I got through a rewards program, thought I could live with it, but the screen is, well CRAP. So I sold it and those funds will pay for my GN10.1 tablet.
I have been holding out for a new phone for a while, okay a few weeks since I returned my GS4 (still have funds in the GS4 bounty to help others out) and as for the GG, yeah its a novelty, a pricey one at that, but I have 14 days to play with it and if I don't like it I return it to Verizon and get a full refund, no harm, no foul, no issues.
BUT, if I do like it I got it and off to the races I go.

I jut have numerous applications on my phone... the 32GB would not bother me so much if they allowed APP2SD with Jelly Bean. With the 4.3 is it now possible to put applications on the SD card or not?

It's funny that no one mentioned apps2sd during their reviews, but then again no one ever mentions usable storage space either, go figure and they call themselves reviewers.
I do suspect apps2sd will be on the GN3, its on the GS4 and that will only serve to add value and benefits for Samsung. I just wish it could move app data as well for the large games.
I'm looking for the international version (off contract) anyone know where to find this on the 25th? I'm guessing amazon will have sellers up???

Not a super fan of best bu y but the final price that I pay will be the same as Att sells it for or amazon. 799 is just the estimate. Card gets charged when I pick up phone. I confirmed this with manager. Good looking out. So about the 4.2.2 thing.II'm sure it just an error on best buy side but I thought it was worthy of a post.
