Q: Large micro SDHC Cards

Hello guys and gals,
I am starting to feel the pinch with an 8 Gb memory card and wondered if anyone had found a good, cheap and compatible 16 or 32 Gb micro SD cards for the Desire S.
EBay seems to have some 32gb cards for about 10 GBP which sounds insane.
Anyone got a suggestion for this UK Desire S user?

You don't want a cheap one, spend those 30€ on a class 10 card. It's well worth it its faster and will probably not die on u as some cheap one might.

Do NOT buy cards from ebay. They will always be fake, when they arrive they will say 32gb but if you perform a scan with a tool it shows its actual capacity to be 1gb! Don't fall for it like I did!
Just use google shopping and search for the cheapest price for a memory card from a reputable site.
In fact, I see you're in the UK and theres a good deal on from play:

I bought a 16GB class 6 about half a year ago for £18 so this is a pretty good deal.
From experience classes dont make much of a difference at all, maybe miniscule. This card comes with a 5 year warranty so no need to worry about it dying on you.

I ordered a 16gb class 10 y/day from play for £17.99 It's Pny but will do the job

Cheers for the replies. I thought eBay would have been a rip but you never know with that place, some crazy deals happen and we miss them because we fear them (and quite rightly 99% of the time).
Might pounce on the 16 Gb Class 10 from Play.com.
Anyone know if the Desire S can take 32Gb cards and are there any good deals on those? Best I've found is £38, give or take pennies.

Far as I know yeah it can handle a 32gb

Yes, it can! =)
Mine is MicroSDHC 32GB Transcend Class4 (TS32GUSDHC4). Works good.

I got my 16 Gb today and its working fine

Did anyone tested an A-DATA / KINGMAX 16GB, class 10?

I got a scandisk 16gb.. works great!

I bought a Samsung 16GB Class10 microSD, works like a charm...

bought a sandisk 16gb class 4, everything is running fast and without problems, don't know if you would "feel" a higher class at all

I spent a lot of time looking on the 'net for a reasonable price 32GB card.
Saw plenty on Ebay but many looked untrustworthy (had a bad experience before!)
Eventually collected a 32GB Class 4 card for £35 from Novatech, local to me.
The Novatech card I got turned out to be Integral brand with 5 year warranty.
It's actually a Toshiba manufactured card made in Japan, so I'm happy with it.
The camcorder app seems to work better with the Class 4 card than it did with the supplied Samsung 8GB Class 2.

I bought Toshiba 16gb class 4 and it is good working.

Been using a 16 GB Class IV Transcend Micro SD card, everythings been peachy so far. Finding a legit 32 GB Class IV Micro sd card is so hard here in my neck of the woods.

Microsd..what speed class best for the epic?

Prolly just want to keep 16gb as 32gb is still too expensive. Can anyone recommend one?

Don't order yet, I have just purchased a $35 32GB Class 4 from Amazon. (one that has numerous happy reviews on amazon)
Once it gets here and I confirm its quality and speed you should follow suit. I have faith that this one wont be a counterfeit card like all those on ebay for under $50.
I'd say as long as the card is quality, the Class # doesn't mean much. My 16GB card is a Class 2 but the slowest I've seen it run is 5MB/s.

I was looking at the 32Gb Patriot Class 10 card on Amazon... tempting!

it was
that was for the after christmas sale. but still 44$ is not bad for a 32 class 10

Wow, i was at Fry's on Christmas Eve with a friend. I totally would have picked that up. Even at $45 thats good, its the same price i paid for my Class 4 Sandisk.

I always check newegg as a first comparison. And I am kinda glad I did this time. I Never thought much about class 4/6/10 until I read some of the reviews. Found r/w speed is the issue (as expected) between the classes. But some of the reviews of different cards suggest that some phones may not play nicely with some card sizes/classes. Huh? Anyway the egg has Patriot 32gb/class 10 cards http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220547 for $40, free shipping. Worth a look if only for the reviews.

Looks like they are sold out... : (

I really wish this was in stock. I would have bought like 20 of them and flipped them on eBay!

im not so keen abour unbranded micro sd's
There is a good deal on ncix, sandisk 32gb class 10 for 44$ + a 20$ rebate sor 24$ but the deal was until feb 1st

Looks to good to be true.

Looks to good to be true! Don't forget that micro SD can be easily counterfeited, it can be a 4-8 GB with the code changed to 32GB so our phones or any other device reads 32GB but is not! They can also change labels... guys be very careful when buying micro SD cards.
A 32GB class 10 OEM is no less than $60 average.

Which microSD / microSDHC for Skyrocket?

Does anyone know what is the best external SD card for the Skyrocket? Samsung, SanDisk, Kingston, etc.? Is it worth the money to get a microSDHC card instead of a normal microSD? What is a reasonable price?
Thanks!

sdhc just means it's more then 2GB. if you want a good sd card go for class 10. the class is a grouping of how fast it is for reads and writes but not all class 10 cards are the same some are way faster then others. some people are huge fans of some brands I don't care that much as you still have no idea for some of the brands as to who made the chip.

I just got a 32GB microSDHC Full HD Class 10 SAMSUNG for 53.49 free shipping from a trusted seller in Ebay. I just got it tonight and it works amazing! it comes sealed in retail package and it has warranty.
If you are interested i can send you a link.

Thanks for the replays. I just got a Samsung 16gb microSDHC class 10 plus with SD adapter for 30 bucks at Fry's in Indy. I will see how it goes.
