[Q] SanDisk 64GB MicroSDXC - Amazon Reduced Price?

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

[Q] Too good to be true?

So after having my TF101 for over a year, it took a nasty fall and became unusable. This was of course devastating, made even worse by the fact that I am about to start at a new school. I have been wanting to upgrade for awhile, but since I bought it with my last paycheck from a job I lost, this has not been possible. However, due to this tragedy, my parents are considering buying me a new one, but paying full price is out of the question. So, I found this site through Google selling a TF300T for only $229, which seems too good to be true. Can anyone say if this is a legit site?

If it seems too good to be true and is from an unheard of retailer, i'd recommend you avoid it

I read a lot of comic books and the 10.1 screen is perfect for them. Also, I like the convertibility. And of course, the Nexus not having expandable storage is a deal breaker for me.

You can expand the storage by connecting a memory stick/HDD into the micro-USB port by using some cable (can't currently remember the cables name). And there have been rumours of a Nexus 10 coming soon. Anyways 229 is probably too little for TF300 because here where I live the 32 GB one without the dock is 419.

If you can afford it, then, I'd go for the TF700. I downloaded the "free preview" of Watchmen from Barnes & Noble and it was pretty cool, but it was also pretty obvious that on a high-def screen it would absolutely rock. I'm not much of a comics guy, but if I were, that's definitely what I'd do.

I got mine from amazon....it was used like new and I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

hell just send me the cash i would at least send you the empty box you would not even get that from them i see them vanishing really quick in the near future

I second this, got my from Amazon, next day shipping, Like new, for 269 I believe just a couple weeks ago. Still had ICS on it (no promise there though) so if I had wanted to retain the ICS bootloader I would have been able to.
I'm smitten with mine, although I really REALLY wish dev. would move forward a little farther.
Nice tablet though! My fiance was able to trade her BS prime in for a brand new TF700 at Best Buy, straight trade even thought we have had it for almost a year due to the issues it is known for. Color me jealous

May pick up a 32gb for $299....good deal???

So its my brother's birthday and he wants a tablet. He's been using my infinity when and likes it a lot. He doesn't game, just surfs the net and craigslist, youtube, ect. I saw the Tf300 at gamestop for $299 for the 32 gb version. Is this a good deal for this particular tablet or should I just grab a nexus 7 for him and call it a day...Any issues with this tablet so far?

I bought my 32gb tf300t at Office Depot the day after Black Friday for $299 and in my opinion, it was an AWESOME buy. I was going to get the Nexus 7 but decided against it and glad I did. I have rooted mine, installed a custom ROM & kernel and my tablet is getting better benchmarks that my buddy who has an Nexus 7. OH, let's not forget about the extra 3 inches on the display and extra storage compared to the N7. That makes a HUGE difference too. I'm buying the dock/keyboard for my Asus this evening. As far as I know, the only keyboard available for the Nexus is bluetooth.
I have personally seen and used the Nexus 7. I am very happy with my 10", 32gb Asus tf300t and if I had to make the decision knowing what I know now, I would choose it again over the N7.:good:

So I purchased the TF300T from Best Buy and got them to price match GameStop. GS has a no opened returns on anything, BB has a return opened/unopened till 1/24. I'm sure my brother will like it, but if there are any defects or what not, I rather go to BB. I have the Infinity 700T and love it myself so it'll be nice to get him something comparable instead of the N7. Thanks for the response BTW.

I'm sure that he will like it. The TF300T is a very nice tablet. :good:

The normal retail price I'm not too sure if the tablet is worth it but I got mine 16gb for 282 delivered from groupon and thats a friggin great deal.
Especially when in the UK its over 680 dollars for 32gb

Its a 32gb tablet with a tegra 3 processor running jb. Yea, pretty great deal. That's 100 less than what my wife paid on fathers day of this year

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

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?

What about the memory? Were you able to get 64Gb or 32GB? I can't find anyone selling a 64GB version.

Pre-ordering mine within the week from Verizon!

No Sprint yet...
Sprint, where are you? Softbank needs to flex some muscle and drop the 64GB Note 3 on Sprint for $299 on contract.

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?

I'm curious to now what the developed Kent will be on this device.

Now up on Clove for the 32GB version expected last week of September at £594 including VAT.

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.
