I ordered the Samsung Focus with Amazon Wireless for one penny and a two year contract with AT&T! Couldn't be any happier with that.
Anyway, I ordered a case:

And a screen protector (I know it's tough to scratch but eh, why not. Lol)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003F8C1GK/ref=oss_product
So I've been thinking about how much memory is on the phone. 8GB is nice but I will want to put a few of my 720P movies onto the Focus. I figured I could get 8B Micro SDHC (Class 10) and it would make it, 16GB. That's pretty decent, right? I think it will hold me over... Lol.
I did some research and I get the higher the class, the higher the write speeds. Right?
Well, what do ya'll think of this one?

Thanks in advance everyone!!!
8gb is good enough for me....for now! Ill be buying a 16gb card soon enough tho because everytime you change the sd card you have to do a full reset on your phone, so id rather just do it now and get it all over with. So, what im trying to tell you is just get yourself a 16gb card if you going to be adding 720p movies...that way you wont really need to worry about changing the card later. As for the class...class 10 is unnecessary....class 2 has been proven to be VERY sufficient in the focus...even class 4. I had a class 6 and now I have a class 2 and there is NO difference in performance on my focus. Anyways, as for sd cards, be careful because some aren't working properly....I would say your safest bet is buying Sandisk...since thats what Samsung is using in the focus for memory right now.
Hope this helps!

Well, if I put a 720P movie on there, I'll just delete it once I'm finished watching it. Not going to have more than a few gigs of music too. So 8GB is good for me. Obviously once you put a movie on there you can delete it and get your memory back, correct? Sounds nooby but just double checkin... Lol. The higher the class the faster it gets on the card, right?
sd card
i got a sandisk 16g class 4 from radio shack cost about $34, had it in since two weeks before christmas.... loaded it almost full, empted most of it out loaded and unloaded stuff, havn't had any problems so far....... been running strong and just as fast as without the card...

correct...once you delete things you get your space back. I didn't notice much difference in transfer speed between my class 6 and class 2. So if you can, just save yourself the money and get class 4. There was an article I read somewhere that a higher class can actually make performance worse on the phone. Don't know how true it is, but class 2 has been perfect for me. No difference anywhere.
You need too spend some time reading this thread before buying a microsd card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834144&page=3
Determining whether an SD card is Windows Phone 7 compliant is not a simple matter of judging its speed class. Several other factors, such as the number of random read/write operations per second, play a role in determining how well an SD card performs with Windows Phone 7 devices.

A higher speed class can actually work against you because sometimes the maker sacrifices random operations for speed.
You can either wait for official "windows phone 7 certified" cards or take your chances. Read the first post carefully, especially the most recent posts. I personally have been using a 16gb Samsung card with no problems. Caveat emptor.
Sweet, thanks for the info.

Patriot Signature 16GB Micro SDHC Class 4 Flash Card Model PSF16GMCSDHC43P
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220524
If you read the feedback, nothing but positive reviews.
"Pros: Very good price to performance ratio. Works with the Samsung Focus. Good read write speeds.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Not sure why some say negatives about the speed of the card. Maybe they got a bad one, but this tested out at just under 4.5gb write speeds. I had been using a Sandisk class 2 card with my Samsung Focus, but it would do some random rebooting and crashing. With this card it has been absoulutly perfect for over a week of use. I have 15gb of music and photos on the phone so I know that I am using the memory card along with the 8gb that is onboard with the phone."
Kinda sold on this... Should I do it?!?!?!?! Buy it right now?!?!! lol
This is pretty much what I was asking in another thread. I want to go with a 32GB card as I don't want to go through hard reset if I ever need more memory later on.
What is a good 32GB tmicroSD card hat works with Focus with no issues? I would like name of manufacturer, class and even the part# so I can source locally (go to store or order online).
Thanks.
No lie, you're going to spend a lot of $ and 32GB is overkill.

After reading the large thread on compatible cards above, it seems the real test is if you've loaded over 8GB of data onto the SDHC card (or over 16GB total in your case) and don't experience any problems. If that's the case then that's awesome (and it also sadly verifies the fact that no one knows which brand of card really works than the Sandisk 8GB Class 2, which is mentioned in the official instruction manual).
To the OP, I've stuck with the 8GB Sandisk. I considered the OEM version for $12 USD available on Amazon but decided against it, and went with the retail packaged version, which I got at Radio Shack for $20 USD. 14 or so GB will be good enough until the official certified ones are announced.
well ill just refer to him as mr arse... but mr arse is partially correct.... mine was stable up to 15gb then after that it went downhill fast.... so give the dude a bit of a break....
Has anyone seen any OFFICIAL announcement that there will be APPROVED cards for WP7. I know that Sandisk tried to pull a fast one and say their's were approved but then pulled them. Is MS even allowing such a program?

Hey guys, I tried to search about this topic in the forum but I don'y anything about it or was it just already in pit of the forum?
Anyways, I would like to ask the maximum capacity of memory card for Elf(in)? I am planning to buy a micro-sd and I just want to buy the best available.
Does it support SDHC memory cards? And also, does using a large GB of memory presents a risk on my device to be brick when time goes on?
Thanks for the help guys!

I have 4gb micro sdhc and it works fine. I have heard that 8GB won't function properly after a while. But I am not a genius
SanDisk 8GB
I've been working with a SanDisk 8GB MicroSD HC for about 4 months now, and still have had no issues...
And that goes without saying that I think It's a fake SanDisk, because of the packaging.
Have an 8GB SanDisk on my Elfin. Works great.
@vette95: Good to hear that! Thanks for responding..
@htedum: how long have you bean using your 8gb micro-sd? Haven't experienced any problem yet? Any slow down or hangs?
i've been using 8gb in my elf for over a year and did not ever have any issues or hangs so i would recommend it.
just my 2 cents
Wow! Thanks bro for the feedback! Will buy 8gb now.. hehe..
Been using it for two weeks now; no problems at all. I've overclocked to 273 using HomeScreen, maybe that helps. Loaded up 6G worth of music and 1G worth of movies. Installed PocketPlayer (and TCPMP for movies), and I have a slick, portable media player. Battery life isn't bad at all, but I've ordered a 2500mAh replacement, waiting for that to come in.
A tip - be sure to pick up an original, name-brand card, even if you have to pay more. A lot of fakes going around, they may slow down your phone.
@vette95: No problems with your fake?
I've been searching google how to detect fake micro-sd but unfortunately the only info I got was to make sure the serial of the memory is readable and also try to call on the manufacturer and confirm the serial. Of course, I cannot do that when I am in the store, to check each items and call them. LOL. So do you know other ways how to know it if it is genuine?
The best bet would be to avoid ebay and the like; that's where most of them are floating around. Since you're buying retail, you should be pretty safe, since you can go right back to the store if you discover that it's fake.
From what I've read, there's also the issue of classes; best pick up class 6 or at least class 4. Class 2 will be slow.

Also check the packaging. Check if the fonts are printed alright and not fading or anything.
I have already bought a 4gb sdhc class 6 kingston micro-sd. There is no 8gb available in store so I decided to just go with 4gb and just upgrade when I need it. It was fast and I guest it is not fake(though I'm not sure). Thanks for the advice guys. I hope this will also be helpful for people who are planning to upgrade memory.
As far as I know, Transcend and Sandisk are the brands that are flooding in the market which are fake so I really looked for other brand. Fortunately I found one and it is made in Japan(the fakes are made in China written at the back of this brands) so I'm little confident with the memory I bought. hehe..
ive been using an 8gb card too for awhile now on my elfin. just got my 16gb card last month and havent had a problem yet. everything runs very smoothly.
i have 8GB V-gen and running well until now...

i´ve used a 8gb sdhc since a month without problems...it runs smoothly...
I bought a 16 gb sandisk sdhc. It didn't even register regardless of what drivers I installed on my phone.
Looking for a 16GB microSD for the Hero.
Anyone sourced a class 4 or 6? or indeed, have you used a class 2 and happy with it?

I have a class 2 16gb in my G1.
Apps2SD and Swap runs fine (Using JacHeroSki Hero rom).
I don't see what the class thing is all about, applications run as speedy as if they were installed on the device itself.

Only used the 2GB card Orange bundle with the phone, and am experiencing a bit of sluggish perfromance on the home screen occasionally - someones said that this is solved by a faster card but will have to wait and see - got one on order.
That link you have posted says 'Class 2' in the write up but the picture is 'Class 4'.
I looked at that earlier and that discrepancy put me off ordering it.

Yes it would. WE HAVE A WINNER, 1 class 6 16gb.

After much googling, I decided to get a class 2 from here:
http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/ph...ANDISK-MICROSD-16GB-CARD#handsetDetailsHeader
It seemed the transfer rate was not that key on our devices, as class 6 was well above what the phone could manage.
It could all be nonsense and I end up getting another in a few weeks

i was wondering , since there are all sorts of micoSD cards out there , from your experience , N1 users , which card will be the best:
1. a 16 gb class 2 , probably sandisk?
2.an 8 gb class 4 or 6 , again sandisk?
i'm asking if you could feel any real difference when you use a class 4 or 6 watching videos or listening to music on it , in comparison with the standard class 2 card that comes with it
cheers
I'd probably go with Class 4 as the minimum. You will find most people here have pushed for Class 6 since we were using the card for Apps2SD (installing applications to a Linux partition on the card, rather than using internal memory) on the G1/Dream and myTouchMyself3G/Magic. The faster the card, the better the apps performed along with the Android OS itself. I still prefer the faster card when using gallery and other apps that scan the card for media and write a great deal to it (like Subsonic).
I have an A Data 16GB class 6 unit I got from Newegg for $50 with free shipping. It costs more now, but it will likely come down again:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211378
I have Sandisk class 6 cards that transfer at 20MB/s write and 25MB/s read, but those were my 8GB units. I didn't benchmark this one as it seems to be fine.
I have two 8gb class6 and and a 16gb class2, i use my class6 cards in the phones I use the most, can i tell a huge difference in speed in everyday use? Not really. But Im still gonna get a 16gb class6 because it does feel just enough faster to make it worth the money.

oh , but you do say it actually is different? i mean , from what i know , for a card to be faster , the other hardware parts and specially the OS itself should be capable of reading and writing things as fast.

no the OS will execute the "write" or "read" command and the sdcard will be accessed at the max speed allowed by the sdcard itself.
I wouldnt personally use a class2 if possible, tho with Nexus's good amount of ram, any slowness would probably be less noticeable.
thnx guys , so i'm guessing i gonna buy me a class 4 card

Hi Everyone,
I have read the extensive thread on compatible SD cards, but just wanted to open another thread asking if there are any known 32GB cards working with this phone or if you guys have heard of any officially certified 32GB cards coming soon. I am DESPERATE to have more storage on my phone, but will not buy a card unless I know it is working for sure and want to go for the 32 as soon as possible. Thanks!
Well I can only speak on my personal experience but I've been using a Kingston Class4 32GB card since November 8th and have never had any issues. And I'm sitting at around 12GB of usage (music, videos, etc).
I'm not saying this is gauranteed to work - just relaying what my personal experience has been.
Use at your own risk...
My Kingston 32GB C4 card lagged really bad once I got over 10GB. There are so many conflicting reports like this. Using any card is a bit of a gamble at this stage.

I'd be curious to see what happens when you get over 16GB. It seems like 8GB cards are okay; maybe there's something that freaks out when you use more external storage than internal.
I also would be interested in what happens once you fill it past 16GB. Would one of you be willing to give it a shot for us? Thanks for the replies everyone!

I recieved that card from Amazon early this week but so far all I've done is benchmark it. The card is pretty impressive with sequential and random read-rates but its write speeds are about the same as the Sandisk Class 2 I currently have in my Focus. Right now I'm waffling on wether to go through the process of swapping the cards and reinstalling everything or waiting until the NoDo update comes out. If I do make the swap I'll probably post on the working sd cards thread
samsung is dropping their 32gb card this month...
What is the largest, fastest and most budget-minded SD card I can get for this device, preferably off of NewEgg...
I can't remember if the largest "recommended" size is 16gig or 32, but get a class 10. Also, don't go to New Egg, go to Meritline.com, much cheaper on the micro SD cards, and problably even cheaper elsewhere.

So always get class 10 for mobile devices? I'm not looking for a recommended size, I want the maximum size.
Also, NewEgg has class 10's for way cheaper than the site you mentioned.
I could be wrong, but I just thought the class indicated the speed of data transfer, so I've always gone for class 10. And yeah, I never noticed the price gap being so marginal on class 10 cards between New Egg and Merit Line. I've always used Merit Line for any media related purchases. Monoprice for anything cable related (I will slap anyone in the throat I meet face to face who spends $60 on a 6 foot "Monster" HDMI cable at Best Buy), and then NewEgg for everything else.

Gotcha. What brands should I stay away from? What ones should I strongly consider?
Will a 32GB card work on this device?
I used a 16gb, but I cannot remember what the manual said would be supported. However, I thin microSD only goes to 32, I'd wait for someone else to chime in to see if they use a 32gb without issue. I've never paid attention to brand, and it's worked out for me.

So always get class 10 for mobile devices? I'm not looking for a recommended size, I want the maximum size.

I use the "ADATA 32GB Micro SDHC Flash Card, with Adapter Model AUSDH32GCL10-RA1". It's a Class 10 device and I've had no problems with it and the A500. It currently is $63.99 at Newegg and $72.95 at Meritline (sorry fermunkey!).

How long have you used this card?
I'm using a Duracell 16GB Class 6 and it works wonders. Only cost me $25 from a brick and mortar store too, which isn't too bad. You won't notice a significant difference between class 6 and class 10 on any Android device, so personally I wouldn't bother with the added cost of a class 10 card.

I've been using it since the end of July. I've got multiple backups on it as well as movies, music, etc.

I am using:
WINTEC FileMate 16GB Mobile Professional Class 10 microSDHC Card with SDHC Adapter
available at Newegg only 19.99...get a couple!!
@jlary - +1 on the AData 32gb micro sd card. Bought my A500 in May and same day ordered sd card from the Egg. Has worked flawlessly ever since including all my attempts to brick my A500 lol. Got all my movies and music and pictures on it plus backups and roms.
I'm using a 32 GB in mine. I'm not sure of the brand, but it is Class 10 and it works well. (I keep my movie files on it and play them from there.)
I also have a adata micro SD card I got from newegg stressed to full and it did not fail been working for three to four months

+1 for ADATA. I use a 16GB class 10 and I am pretty pleased with the performance.
