Finally.. Sandisk releases 32GB MicroSD

Press release:
http://www.sandisk.com/about-sandis...disk-first-to-ship-32-gigabyte-microsdhc-card
But... not cheap at US$199 a pop!

The only thing that sucks about this, is that once you buy it, it'll be 50 bucks cheaper less than a week later. I bought my 8gb card and it was on sale almost immediately. Such a pain in the ass. Luckily, I don't really 'need' 32gb on my phone. I just want it.

hmm, twice the size and 4x the cost of a 16gb. I need some people to buy it, so it goes down in price a week later

the release of the 32gb one should also drive the price down on the 16gb ones, its never worth purchasing newly released memory right when its just released
in 6 months the cost should be less than half

class 2 ?!?!? Seriously?
Pass...

I bought a 16gb this weekend past. Asked the guy at the counter whether he knew when the 32gb will be out, didn't know.

Haha you would think that if your selling something, you would be up date with your products.

My 16GB Kingston Class 2 is just about $30 when converted from php to usd. Pass.

Which Model Did You Get?

Myself, like many others, decided that the Asus Eeee Pad Transformer was the tablet of choice. Trying to find one without being ripped off was a whole different endeavor though.
Being as the 16GB version's price has inflated everywhere, and in some places up to $65 above MSRP, I decided to get the 32GB version, which was in stock, and still only $499. I noticed this was the trend in most places selling it, and I saw the $40 difference for double the memory as a no brainer.
So with that in mind, my question to you is, which model did you get? 16GB or 32GB? What swayed your decision? Did you pay above MSRP for it?

Chose: 16 Gb Version
Why?: Cuz It was On BestBuy for 399$ and I had a 32GB Micro SD from My HTC Thunderbolt plus and Extra 16GB micro sd from my old phone. Put the 32 in TF101 and 16 in TBolt. Boom. Got me a 48GB Transformer
Satisfied?: Hell Yes.

16gb from amazon.

32 GB from Amazon.de

not got yet but considering getting the one with the keyboard bundled which only seems to be the 16gb at the moment.
but the way i see it is that if i get a 32gb microsd card and a 32gb sd card for the keyboard bit (cheaper) then its negligable what the internal storage is

32 gb from Amazon.de as well. Trying to find a Swiss-French dock ever since
Will upgrade the Micro-SD as needed...

16gb. Exactly $399 on Newegg.

16GB from Amazon at $399. I figured that with the microSD slot, I didn't need 32GB. If I felt stronger about that much storage, I probably would've gone with a GTab, tbh.
I'm on my third unit now. Aside from the speaker issue and some moderate light leaks, I'm satisfied with the rest of the device. Overall, though, I wish I'd waited until Asus had the bugs out of production.

389 from tigerdirect. I found for most folks, disk space was being consumed by media/movies. Since I never planned to watch movies and only listen to music from Google music, 16gb was more than enough. After a month, I still have 11 GB free on the TF with another 8GB microsd and 4gb SDHC card

Bought the 32 GB here in Taiwan. Got a free 32 GB SD card and an Asus sleeve because of the messy pre-order.

I wouldn't say that to Erica Ogg of cnet, (an ipad fangirl with her head up her ass) according to her none of the Android tablets have caught on and sales have been 'uninspiring'

One 16GB, one 32GB, both bought at MSRP.

16GB with dock
Currys UK (bought in store)
RRP - £430.00 with free express delivery and 20% off a £35.00 case.

16 gig with a dock. Figured if I wanted more later I'd get a microsd card.

Bought the 32gig TF.
Using 32gig MicroSD.
Bought the Dock + using a 32gig SD.
96gigs. A fair bit of it is movies and porn.

16GB with dock at comet.co.uk
I got lexar 32gb class 10 for SGS 2, put it in TF now.

I bought a 16GB today. I bought in store so it was $26 sales tax. I'm not good at waiting. Newegg has them for the same price but I would have gotten it Monday.

32GB from canada computers. was on the waiting list for more than a month for the 16GB version and gave up waiting.

16gb from amazon. If amazon has none in stock it shows another seller that ups the price, buy from amazon and it's still only 399. I stream my music and movies, but the assurance of another 16gb would be nice but meh.

32Gb from Newegg with a 32Gb microSD as well as a Keyboard/Dock also from Newegg.

32gb white...missing in action?

This the one I really wanted but don't see them anywhere.....

I know, I settled for the 16gb for now. I do hope they arrive in Best Buy within 45 days so I can trade up.
Although with the ability to add micro sd cards it's not as bad..

There may never be one. The flyer in best buy I saw pre release said grey only next to 32 GB.

That sucks. I am just hoping for whatever reason, it comes later. The Asus TF700 i had was like that. I had the Champagne one, and it took a bit for this one to show up at BB (not even available through Amazon still).

Have a look (scroll to the bottom):

I don't think there is a 32 Gb in white.

I called BB in my area to see if they had gotten in any 32gb ones. No luck yet. She said they get in shipments every Tuesday and Thursday. No way to know if its on the truck KR not. So ill check back Tues. If they get the 32gb in, ill go up there and swap out my 16gb for it. I'd rather pay only $50 for double the memory vs. Apple charging $100 for double the memory. I can tell I need at meat 32gb. Regardless of memory card slot. Games and apps don't store data on memory cards anymore. So extra space is needed for my type of usage.

Deciding to get the 16GB Nexus 7... some final q's

i decided i cannot wait any longer. I am going to go out and buy the Nexus 7 16GB at staples in Canada. I was thinking of waiting for the 32gb but it may not come to Canada for a long time. I will ask them about pre ordering the 32GB (if possible) if they can, i will just return it in 2 weeks and get a refund. I was just wondering if it could fit all these games with room to spare. The games are: Bards Tale, dead trigger, siegecraft, shadgun, gof 2 and finally ARMA shooting range. Will all of these fit on the amount of storage space on the Nexus 7? how much space exactly will i have when i buy it?. Also, for USB OTG i heard that there is a way to charge while connected to usb. I read it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934722&highlight=otg.
Will this cause any damage to the tablet? i was planning on making a custom case or just duct tape a usb to the back of the Nexus 7. WIll charging while connected with a y-cable wreck my device. I cannot wait any longer.
Thanks.

I would (highly) suggest waiting until the 32GB N7 becomes available unless you really don't mind having something constantly sticking out of the MicroUSB port. When you buy you N7 you will most likely only have about 12.5 GB available to you, I bought the 8GB and only have about 5.5 GB if I have no apps installed which kind of annoys me since I can't have that many games installed at once, forget movies and music. I'm going to sell my 8 GB once the 32 GB becomes available because I would hate having something sticking out of the device constantly.

Thank you for the advice. i have a question. how long would i have to wait for it to be available in Canada? i only heard it will be a christmas gift guide from a store in the U.K. How long would i have to wait for it to come to canada? i wish i knew.

Isn't the 8GB supposed to drop to $99.00 USD as well?

Maybe this tablet is not for me. I don't know which one to get that does not have the storage issue that is very similar. Does anyone have any ideas?

Honestly I like the 16gb, I have plenty of tegra games and non Terra.. plus lots of apps and have about 2 GB free..
I'm using a otg connector for HD mmovies from a 32gb flash drive

There is always something bigger/better just around the corner. Maybe soon after the 32gb version rumors of a 64 gb will start up, or a model with a micro slot.
It just depends on how long you want to wait, and what you actually need.

It depends
The thing is that the 32GB is rumored to be very close in price to the 16 GB, so I would wait if I were you. The other thing is though, is that there will always be something that's better as new things or improvements come all the time, so part of me is saying that you should go ahead and buy it. Just to throw that out there.

There may always be better things right around the corner but tablet development is slooow. We rarely see new and exciting devices in the tablet market and even more rarely do we see strong developer community support for those devices.
The only thing keeping me from buying a Nexus 7 right now is that the 8gb version is supposed to drop to $99 at some point... no idea when though.

32GB or 64GB?

The color wars are fun to read, but what about size?

even if I did have the 64GB model, it still wouldn't house a quarter of my music library. also, the 32GB was easily available- I just walked into a T-Mobile store on the 19th, asked for the phone, and left 10 minutes later with my Midnight Blue in hand.

I was one of the few lucky ones who managed to get a 64GB from T-Mo on launch day. With that said; I opted for the 64GB because I knew I would be using this thing as a tablet. I've loaded some 1080p movies (I can't find 2K movies...) to show off this display and plenty of music to take advantage of the stereo(!) speakers.

64gb because there is no SD slot so more storage wont hurt.

I went with the 32GB for a few reasons. My LG G2 was 32GB, and the only reason I came even remotely close to filling it up, was because I had two full nandroid backups and a titanium backup on the phone with the game "Yesterday" included which is about a 1GB game. I have a fairly simple setup, outside of the stock apps I keep maybe 20 other apps/games on my phone. I keep 4GB of music on my phone just in case I get to an area without service and I want music.
I also figured the 32GB version would be easier to obtain.

How backordered is the 64 GB model from T-Mobile?

Ah thanks. I didn't go back far enough.

$50 extra for double the storage? It's a no brainer really, 64GB all the way!

64 duh

Its driving me crazy not knowing if ATT will ever get get the 64gb version.

I could have waited and gone with the 64, but when I sat down and thought it over, the 32 would be just fine. I came from a G3 and the only thing that took up space was a set of titanium backups and two nandroids; a stock based (CloudyG3) ROM and various flavors of the CM 12 test release. My music is up in the cloud, I back up my pictures to google and I don't really hold on to video files. All things considered, the only concrete reason that I had for a 64 was 'because moar'
So functionally speaking, that extra 32G of storage would pretty much just be a reason for me to just keep crap around that I would have otherwise deleted.

64gb for me but 32 wouldn't hurt since i have an 64 gb sandisk usb dual drive otg.

I would of gone with the 64Gb one if the Stores had it but they didn't so I got an 32Gb Blue one on Saturday. I had to pay $67 for the taxes and JUMP! from my S4 to my first Nexus device for the Stock Android and I love it! the front speakers are AMAZING!! Now I pay $24 monthly for this phone which is totally worth it in my eyes.

The 64gb is only 7.6% more than the 32gb. Why not? Sure, I'm completely unlucky and haven't even been able to order one yet but hey I'm patient. My rooted rooted S3 is running great so I'm fine with being patient and waiting to order a 64gb from Google/Moto.
To me, this phone is an investment and I plan on it providing me with years of great service like my S3 has. I know down the road I'll regret if I get a 32gb just because I was in a rush and couldn't wait a few more weeks. Also, if I ever want to sell the phone, I'm sure the 64gb will give me a decent little price premium.

Been using a 32gb Note 3 with a 32gb card for a year now and I think I could probably still get away with 32gb alone but I will get a 64gb model just because I'll have it for 18 months or so...

I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
Really boils down to how quickly I want a phone. I have no music and I plan to JUMP to the Nexus 2015 in a year's time anyway.
