Here is a 8GB microSDHC for $15 USD with free shipping worldwide. Just found it on the website and looks like a good deal to me. Any comments?

And a 4GB microSDHC for $7 USD including free shipping worldwide.
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.18575
Seems like cheap options available to many worldwide to me.
dont buy from them. Buy from newegg very reliable and always awesome
4 gig for 5.75
8 gig for 16.99
I agree with johnny13oi. But get either the A-Data or Transcend Class 6 cards. They are the fastest.
I got the A-Data Class 6 for 17.99 free shipping from New Egg.
I have 6 gig SD, but need a bit more of speed and space, so I listen to to you and ordered A-data for 17.99 from newegg.com
thanks
newegg is great i have ordered from them many times.
Yeah newegg is great, but I just provided those links for those who are not in the US and need a cheap place to buy microSDHC cards. I personally buy from newegg also.
Another vote for Newegg! I got a little bigger card for my Fuze though, a Sandisk 16 GB card from Amazon for 55 bucks- http://www.amazon.com/Sandisk-micro...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1228883056&sr=8-1
I've bought a lot from Amazon as well, and had only good experiences. I had a 6 GB class 4 card before this, and while the 16 GB card is class 2 it seems just as fast and performs perfectly.
Is it the 15.99 one on the site the one to get?
I want an 8gb compatible card as well
are those guys even relible? that site does look kinda sketchy to me
Would a Kingston 8GB Card work, or is it not compatible? And if it is compatible, are there better cards, or cards that perform better?
Yeah I buy from this site all the time. It just takes a while to get to you depending on where you live. There is a forum on there to ask questions about products and stuff. I usually buy my flashlights from there, they are really dirtcheap for what they are.

Dealextreme are excellent, I have bought from them several times - insanely bright torches and fire starting lasers. They have some great gadgets at low prices. They also have a lot of crappy stuff, also at low prices. They have an active forum where you can ask before buying. Delivery can take a while, if you want it quick, buy elsewhere.

I'm a HUUUUUGE dealextreme fan and often use volume rate but frankly certain stuff dealextreme doesn't do well. Deal extreme is better at doing gadgets and stuff like that with massive markups and profit margins. But with commidities like memory, hard drives, CD/DVDs, etc. its not a good ideas.
You will wait a minimum of 2 weeks (I've waited 4 weeks before) and you won't really save much money. Deal extreme has decent product quality but its not gonna be top-notch quality. Don't get something your going to rely on and that integrity and build quality is super important.
DX may have excellent products and have great value but they have always lacked in build quality, which is a trade off you don't want to make just to save a couple bucks on something you'll use so extensively and rely on.
I have bought a lot of stuff from volumerate and dealextreme (PS: Its the same company, dealextreme owns volumerate, it is just fully hosted in china and is always cheaper, although they only have select items) but I know where to draw the line and I haven't always been happy with what I have bought.
With this kind of stuff you can usually get better deals on newegg or, my favorite, tigerdirect.
*CHEERS TO CHEAP MEMORY*
Was going to buy 8gb A-Data from Newegg but bought Transcend instead. Same class, one buck cheaper . but i payed for rush shipping so it made up for it anyways. Some people were giving bad reviews about A-Data so i went with Transcend. Im guessing it was bs and they are both the same. My card should get here in a few days then i will be happy with my class 6
well i bought me a christmass present yesterdey, and ordered this one
it has a little usb cardreader that i liked.
as my standard PC cardreader doesn`t support HC sd.
will let you know how it works.
Decided to get a new and bigger memory card at once so i dont have to think about if i have enough space all the time.
But what should i go for? was thinking about a class 6 card or are a class 4 card enough? think 8Gb should be enough for me. feel free to come whit advices.
Definitely Class 6
SanDisk Ultra II Micro SD is what I would recommend!

I just bought and received this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=120437329412
8GB Maxell Class 6 for £14 (normally a lot more) - and maxell have been around since the dawn of time as far as storage goes.
thanks for the answer, and yes that ebay deal was a nice one. but can the phone use a class 6 card to all its power?
Firstly, Woops sorry - didn't realise that auction had already ended. There are others on ebay, similarly priced but mostly brands I've never heard of
As for the magic using class 6 to its full... that I can't answer. Reading around, people recommend going for a class 6 and there's no harm in it.
What would annoy you more though, buying a class 4 - only to find out the magic can use a class 6 to its full and you could have got one for just £5 more. Or buying a class 6 first time round, and the magic not quite using it at full speed - thus not stressing it, and potentially even lengthening its life.
Know which one I'd prefer
Where to buy
Hello,
Does anyone know where I can purchase an Unlocked Htc Magic that will work on U.S. 3g network and not just GSM?
Thanks.

if you are in the US or kind find wher you are from look at this card. Is a great and fast card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820183244
I'm using a class 2 16Gb Sandisk card that I was using in another phone. Works perfectly well.
hey people...posted this new thread because i want to know if any of you are in use with a 32gb micro sd card and wanna know how is the feel likes with the android builds...
i currently use kingston 8gb microsd card class 4...
thinking to upgrade to 32gb....
please give your opinions and suggstions!!
thanks...
EDIT:i just ordered a kingston 32gb micro sd class 2....
hope android build should run fine as my 8gb
You should be fine. I've been using a SanDisk 32GB MircoSDHC card for months now, without any problems at all.
Best to all,
R
If you buy a 32Gb card ensure that it is a good one and do not buy one from Ebay if it comes from China and only cost ~$15.00. That is total junk!!!

hahaha..yeah i saw cards like one you discribed...i already bought one it comes from hong kong and cost with shiping overall 60dollars!
its a kingston 32gb micro sdcard class 2..!!
i heard that sandisk cards is 3 times faster than kingstons... is that true?
When it comes, peel off the 32Gb sticker and you will find its a 2 or 4 Gb card. you can copy 32Gb onto it but it will be corrupted when you remove it from the pc...
Get your money back...
hey i dont think it could be that bad...if the item will be not the same as described on ebay i have the choice to return it back and get refund..!if the card will be 2gb or 4gb...!i have bought many things via ebay..also the 8 gb kingston class 4 i have all was fine and 100% as described...! anyway i hope this one will work fine

You can only wait until you get the card. I do hope that it works OK. However, just because mine did not turn out to be a good one, yours may. Good Luck. If it isn't, just get a refund from PayPal if you used them.
ok guys..thank you all very much..i ll post a reply when the card will arrive in my hands and let you inform if its fake or not
so see ya soon
Happened to me about three times before I got the message. Run a test when you receive it...

thanks..i'll do it for sure...the good thing is that the seller's name is very different from the one that i bought the 32gb sdcard
hi,
just don't forget to provide us some "where to buy" links please...
Here is hoping you got a good card. I did some researching and I can't find any 32GB class 2 cards by kingston. Seems they are all class 4. Wishing you luck.
Komputerbay MicroSDHC 32 gig class 6
is what I have in mine. It's pretty nice. No Komplaints so far.

damn...i made a research also..and is the same..i didnt find any class 2..as you mentioned they are all class 4 and some class 6!i will cntact to the seller and find a solution..otherwise i will open a case to inform on ebay that the seller sell fake one sdcards..
Just as a bit of further info on the ones which I bought off ebay - they did tend to be reasonably good at refunding the £$ - I think they seem to go off the idea that it's a better business model to avoid negative feedback. A lot of buyers don't check these cards (and USB drives) properly and think it's all good and follow up with good feedback. Sometimes you might have to negotiate a decent refund though but stick to your guns and follow through with your dispute (item not as described/counterfeit) if required.
In any event, good luck.
Got a 32GB Micro SD card from Ebay from Hong Kong as well, a month or so ago. The card took almost a month to arrive. When i got it I tested the R/W speeds. They were awful. But, even so, i tried a consistency test. Of the 32GB of data copied, only 512 weren't corrupted. Basically, what the guy does is picks up faulty 512 MB MicroSD (faulty since they don't comply with Class 2 minimum requirements) and changes the Card information sector to inform the pc/device that it is 32GB when it really is 512. I confronted the buyer with this (had tons of positive reviews btw) and he said that he would refund me, and was sorry but it was an accident. I insisted he send me another card instead. A week later, i receive an email from ebay saying that this user had it's account compromised and that he seemed to be a known scammer. All great as you can see. Honestly, I will only buy again from Amazon or so...
Hopefully, the same won't happen to you. I felt so foolish... Particularly since I'm getting a PhD in Computer Science -_-'...

I don't believe there are any legitimate class 6 32gb cards available yet... I did a lot of research before buying mine and the best available so far from legitimate companys was class 4, so that what I went with. I got a class 4 32gb Kingston. And you're right, it doesn't look like Kingston released any class 2 versions, so make sure you thoroughly test your card. Its possible Kingston released class 2 cards for OEM purposes and never sold them retail, so they may be legitimate... but considering you bought it off eBay, I would have doubts its legitimate. Its best to buy flash memory from well known stores like newegg.

Also guys, before giving good feedback load the sd card with about 20Gb of data, remove the sd card then re-insert and see if the files are corrupt... I've found a few "32Gb sd cards" that will hold 32Gb of data and registers the files are still on the card BUT the info gets badly corrupted and disapears when you take out of the card reader.
Won't say ALL sellers are crooks on Ebay, but 99% definately are. Only advice would be to see if they have been a member for a long time, they don't seem to survive too long if they are crooks...
Hello everyone, I was wondering what kind of SD card I need to buy for my phone. I'm talking to tech support, and the guy I'm talking to didn't even know there were different classes of SD cards. I'm currently on hold right now. I want to upgrade to a 32gb. Does anyone know how a class 10 works in the DX?
I her class 10s have trouble. Class 4 is the safe bet.
Damn that sucks. What about a class 6? Do those work good on the DX? Do I have to get Sandisk, or will another brand work? I had problems with another phone not liking another brand, but I don't remember which brand it was. Thanks!
I'm looking online, and it's hard to find a class 6 32gb. It's much easier to find a class 10 32gb..
Get whatever class you want. Class ratings are sort of a hoax, anyways; some class 6s outperform some class 10s, and some class 4s outperform some class 6s; seriously. You should just buy a 32GB Sandisk, as they make the best flash memory in existence. PNY and (surprisingly) Transcend also make good flash memory. The only thing to make sure of is that it's a MICRO SDHC card. Micro being the key word. A faster class from one of those better brands is nice, but it's more important to get a good brand when it comes to flash memory than a faster class.
Be sure to buy from a reputable seller. I bought a kingston 32GB class 4 from a new amazon dealer last Dec and received a fake class 6 card. Amazon had my back with their A-Z guarantee but it was inconvenient enough for me to make all future memory purchases from well established places such as direct from the manufacturers, newegg, even brick and mortar stores.

Definitely make sure to buy one from a reputable seller and some sort of brand you are comfortable with. I have heard horror stories about people buying supposed 32gb class 10 sd cards off ebay and them only being 2gb or craping out after 2 weeks. Not worth the worry or hassle

Thanks. I got a Sandisk class 4 32gb card from Amazon for about $70 with 3 day shipping. Got it in the mail yesterday. Works great! I heard class 10 cards don't work well in phones. This class 4 is a lot quicker than the class 2 that came with the phone..
After picking up my new Galaxy S III (Garnet Red sexiness) a couple days ago I was in the market for a microSD card. Now, it's obvious that I could have saved a few dollars by buying online but I needed one ASAP and didn't want to have to wait for it to arrive. Usually that means the cost of purchasing at a local brick & mortar store would be significantly higher, so I scanned the Sunday sales ads to see what I was up against. The best deal I could find in the sale ads was a PNY 32GB class10 microSDHC @ Staples for $44.99 or a 16GB for $19.99. That was more than I wanted to pay so I stopped in at my local Best Buy because they sometimes have some great sale prices that are not even advertised. I found the same 32GB PNY card with the adapter for $34.99 on sale, which they had not advertised in the sale ad. If anyone is in the market and would rather pick one up locally like myself, the info is below.
PNY 32GB class10 microSDHC $34.99 + tax (cheapest I found online was $26.85 + $4.99 S/H = $31.84 @ Amazon)
Model # PSDU32G10TEFM1
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/PNY+Tec...Card/3026197.p?id=1218372338726&skuId=3026197
PS. Another reason I chose to buy locally is to have peace of mind in knowing the card is 100% genuine and not potentially fake.
meh, ive seen cheaper 32gb class10 sd's from reputable dealers
I've tried the pny brand and man was it horrible. I tried a 2gig on my old samsung gravity and when I had to format it it only showed 256mbs. And an 8gig I tried on my g1 kept corrupting itself.
