in UK (7dayshop): 8gb microsd = $33.55 (£17.99)
oh well bought mine from amazon two weeks ago for $32.95

That's how much I paid for mine from amazon, i ordered it monday.

newegg.com has an 8gig for cheaper.

I bought an 8GB MicroSDHC class 4 off of Amazon a few weeks ago for $28USD.

oh well i have a 2gig and was about to buy a 4 gig but i dont think i need it..... =\

Shipping included?

Be careful Buying cheap SD Cards. They could be counterfeit from an unreputable dealer.
Like they always say, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."

New egg has an A-DATA 16GB Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) Flash Card Model TurboSD SDHC 16G for US$43.99 plus shipping.
I agree with Jimmy, but personally am running an A-data now. There is a review on the newegg site where a customer claims to have had 3 of these and 2 reported as Class-6 and one as Class-2. He says he RMA'ed the class 2 and got the other class 6.
I went ahead and grabbed one to check it out in my kaiser, no idea what I will ever store on it frankly. I can't fill up a 4gig now, or maybe I should say yet!

I checked out that card. It looks like a standard size SDHC card, rather than the MicroSDHC that the Kaiser uses. How are you going to try it with your Kaiser?

Once Again I don't want to sound like I wear a tin foil hat. But I do computers for a hobby, a first, and a second job. I've seen LOTS of counterfeit stuff technology-wise out there.
eBay is the worst offender!
I find that New-egg Is pretty good, they let my RMA if I have issues. Amazon as well, depending on the "seller." My top three: Amazon Direct, Adorama, and J&R Music/Computer World.

Cause it was 420 and I didn't read close enough, LOL. So scratch that I am going to use it in my camera. LOL

I have an 8 Gig which I purchased when they were still around $70 USD. I have mine pretty full with movies and music. I was away on business this past week and the music came in handy. I did notice that my 700 meg Divx movies stutter some and will need to go back to the 200-300 Mb movie size. I have never had problems with NewEgg. BTW - Segeway - Just purchased a Colby 7" DVD player which has both SD and USB ports on it. I was able to play the DiVx movies I have on my MicroSD card. They did not stutter on the Player. The player is a good deal right now for around 100 USD.

I got mine at Microcenter
4GB - $19.99
8GB - $49.99

I bought an 8gb microsdhc from newegg.com for under $30. Class 6

i just stole my 8gb from someone else..
(just kidding folks!)
tvos

All these new features make me realize I need a new faster SD Card.

So where is the best place to order one from?Any brands to AVOID? Is the sweet spot money wise 8 GB? I'm talking class 6.
Man I ask a lot of questions.

Depends, how fast are you looking for?

I picked up 2 Transcend 8 gb Class 6's on Amazon for 17 bucks each.
I figured its not kingston or san disk but hell 17 bucks is cheap.
Not to mention I have a transcend Flashdrive and transend ram in one machine, it can't be that bad.
I ordered them tuesday, haven't gotten em yet. But I'll let you know how it does monday when I get them. They are actually probably waiting at the office for me....damn I should have had them shipped to the house instead...thanks for making me realize I am a moron. errrrrr....
EDIT:
I have heard TopRam stuff doesn't last, but there is a lot of it out there for cheap. Could be a good alternative if you don't mind buying stuff 2 or 3 times. reviews tend to be negative, or at least highly mixed with them.

The transcends seem to be sold out Thats a good sign.

good question
I would also be interested as well. I'm using stock card that came with the phone. I'd like to move up but don't want to over pay.

I guess I told too many people about the steal of a deal.

I got the Transcend 8gig from amazon.. No problems at all so far....

I too am using a Transcend off of Amazon. No issues here, and I will always go class 6 or higher from now on in any of my devices to ensure that I don't get hampered by speed. No issues on any of the ROMs, and I tried just a few out today, to the point everyone was asking what the heck I was doing to my phone.

+1 transcend on amazon class 6. it is greeat.

I've had no problems with the Transcend I purchased from Amazon

Got my new Transcend SD's today. Anyone know of a good app to test the speed? I have seen some benchmark stuff on the forum, but I am not sure what they are using to get their numbers.

What I've been using to benchmark my phone's speed is the app called 'benchmarkPi'. Speeds under 9000ms are pretty good.
Edit: app name correction

I got the Transcend 8gb class 6 off of newegg website. $19.49 with free shipping. Works great. Model TS8GUSDHC6.
*I also use Transcend RAM in my desktop computer and never had any issues.

Easy way to test the speed is to copy a large file from you computer to the sd card. It will show you the transfer speeds as it copies. The Transcend 8 GB I have will sustain 12-13 MB/s copying a 300 MB file to the card.

Look up crystal disk, it will give you a benchie of the card (in windows of course).

Not sure how great it is, but seems like a decent deal: http://dealnews.com/PQI-8-GB-Class-6-micro-SDHC-Card-for-15-free-shipping/361308.html

PQI's a known memory name. I bit on the 8GB transcend on the egg.

According to a few benchmarks, at worst case scenarios, PQI barely exceeds the Class 6 read speeds (at which isn't bad), but it also barely exceeds Class 2 write speeds (which is really bad!). So I got one for $15...
But PQI is known to had write speed issues in many of their flash products.

Try Newegg. Bunch of 8GB class 6 cards for around $20 (if you can't get any Transcends...I think they have the Transcends for around $18-$19.

I got a wintec 32GB class 10 today and its really fast.
Bought it on newegg and got it in 1 day and
did a test
no errors.
it writes 15.2 MB/Sec pretty fast.
Its about $75 tho.

$75 + 16gb TF is still cheaper than the 32gb TF, plus you get an extra 16gb of storage!

I read some reviews about the Wintec and other class 10 32gb cards that they don't hold up too long with Android and other smarth phone devices.

Are you looking for the best price or the best product no matter the price ?

It's one of those few things that you don't buy from ebay
Stick to Amazon or something.

I was referring to cards on Newegg, not eBay.
If you read the reviews, people say they aren't made for smartphones/tablets and in some cases say that when they contacted the company about their issues that the company also verified they may not work well with smartphones/tablets.

got a 16gb class 10 from play uk...15 quid..
will buy a 32gb when its price comes down a bit

For the money I have always stuck with Sandisk. I have a 32gb in my Evo (got it when Verizon was practically giving them away) and I will likely get one for the TF. Unfortunately they only make a class 2 card that uploads relatively slow but I can deal with that, it reads plenty fast enough to play back HD video.

What is the minimum card speed you would buy? And why?

Please delete, dupe

I wouldn't get too caught up in the whole speed thing. Different vendors have different rules for how they rate their cards and none of them really seem to be terribly consistent. In real world usage, the class rating doesn't often reflect real world usage speed. I've bought class 10 cards that were slower then class 2's and cheap cards that worked better than more expensive ones. The single best advice is if you can forget about the specs just buy a genuine Sandisk card and life will be good.
Working with the NookColor a lot before the Transformer lots of people wanted to dual boot their NC off the SD card and so we all went out and bought class 10's and we all complained that our devices would not boot or were painfully slow. Meanwhile, the guys with the class 2-4 Sandisks were running without a problem because those cards are just designed really well. So if you just want a bucket of cheap storage pickup anything that's reviewed well on Newegg and you should be fine. If you want the best built card for the money Sandisk is really the only way to go.

Findmike speaketh the truth.

I have had problems with SanDisk over the years. No matter what card you get, your mileage may vary.
Personally, I have had the best luck with Transcend brand and Lexar class 6 microSD 16GB cards in many different devices and scenarios. I have read about more problems from 32GB cards than the 16GB ones. Some of the cases seem to be device and operating specific and other cases seem to memory card failure itself. I am going to try the Lexar brand class 10 32GB microSD and give it a shot. I am a glutton for punishment sometimes. Transcend would be my other choice.

DAMN YOU LOGIC!!! DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!
Had to say it. LOL!!!!

Im using the 32GB Class 4 SanDisk Micro Sd I got from my HTC Thunderbolt on the TF and I gotta say it works Very Cooooo

PNY were releasing 32GB class10 microSD cards for Tablet devices this week for $70 ($56 from newegg)

I'm using a 32GB SanDisk class 2 on my MT4G and a 32GB Transcend class 4 in my Asus Transformer and both cards download/upload pretty fast, the Transcend is a little bit faster.
The testing was done on the same phone and then again on the tablet. I used the Micro SD Card Tester app ($2) for all tests and performed them right after each other.
As other posters have said, my first choice would be the SanDisk and second would be the Transcend...based on pricing and availability of course.
Good luck on your quest...

Here is the Android Police take on this card

Actually, what i wanted to know, is if THIS item is compatible with the T-mobile Samsung Galaxy 4G if anyone knows?
http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-HDMI-Micro-Cable-Feet/dp/B003UH0Z9Q/ref=pd_bxgy_e_text_b
together they sell them for $42.99, so is that good?

If your primary usage for the card is for phone then I would suggest to go for class 4 sandisk 32 gb. You can get it around for $30 from amazon (try to get the one that amazon sells by itself just to be sure you do not get the fake sandisk).
How are you going to connect micro HDMI to galaxy 4g (are you talking about the original galaxy S 4g or S2)?

Just came here to post this deal. Just saw the email in my inbox.

Thanks for answering, yes original S4g. I have not seen micro HDMI before, sorry I assumed the TV out connector "micro USB is the same size but taking your Question, I assumed wrong.

Don't buy the lexar its got horrible reviews mostly relating to data corruption or failure. I got one during christmas lasted a week then died returned it, luckily at the time there was a special on the samsung microsdhc for 35$, awesome deal, have not has one problem. I've had many class 10's from various manufacturers and sizes never had a problem with any of them the way the lexar did. Google for reviews theres a large number of people that had the exact same problem. Stay away,wait for another deal if you need one urgently get the pny 32 class 10 which you can find for 42.99 around the net. Also what makes this sale even more ludacris is it's at that price at quite a few places including amazon etc.. I bet they wanna dump as much of their stock of those as possible.

SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card 30MB/s with Adapter - $38.99

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009QZH6JS/ref=pd_rhf_dp_s_cp_3
too bad my touch pro 2 doesn't support up to this high, but then again I have my 16gb about half filled anyways, thought you guys might want in on this since it isn't a bad price

Pretty good deal, one of the reasons I like to buy devices with microSD slots, look how cheap you can add a bunch of space to it. Plus its class 10 so it should be pretty fast as well. Format it to FAT32 and pretty much any device that takes SDHC cards will work with it.

Looks like the prices are coming down. It's even a dollar cheaper here with free shipping too: http://www.adorama.com/IDSIUMS64GB....ing Site&utm_campaign=Other&utm_source=pgrabl

Only £39 in the UK http://www.amazon.co.uk

I didn't *need* one but picked one up anyway, just in case. Too good of a deal to pass up. Thx!

Yeah I've been waiting for them to come down to this price for awhile. Probably going to pick one up now especially if formatting it to FAT32 will get it into my phone without issue. Although I hear the Bionic will just take them as is.

The price went back up to $42
