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.

well i thought it was cheap 4gig for $10 speed 6 too... supermediastore.com woot i think it was free shipping too
Normal price. 4GB for $10, 8GB $20, 16GB $65 seem to be the norm on ebay now.
Yes, this is typical price. Yesterday I found 4GB speed 6 for 4.90 british pounds (free P&P). UK stock, so it will take 3 days to get it !

i bought an 8gb class 4 Kingston micro sd with 2 different adapters ...$21 with shipping. Make sure u buy branded ones like kingston or sandisk.
Watch out for Sandisk look a likes too! I got a bad mini 4gb and a bad 8gb Micro in the past. They look like the real deal but if you put them side by side you will see the difference. Both fakes didn't last a month. Kevin

Everybody when the said off brand card dies on them
Transcend IS a brand though, and a good one at that. So that was a good choice.

I bought this memory card a couple months back for the same price at radio shack, works great. If you go on scandisk's website and look at their reviews a lot of them are complaining of problems with the Touch Pro. Mine has worked flawlessly and for 20 dollars you really can't beat it.
Newegg.com has a Transcend 8gb micro sdhc with adapter for $12.99
This is the one that I have
EDIT: They don't have this price anymore. When I bought it, it was $13, but it seems that they have raised the price to $17.49. It seems a little weird.
$17.29
I just ordered a hand full of these at $16.97 I was looking to order a few more and they went up a few cents but oh well, its free shipping and I got mine within 3 days! Thats the fastest I have received memory with free shipping off of ebay

great deal!!
When I purchased my htc fuze back in February, I insisted on buying all the accessories because I received half off all accessories. I even bought the screen protectors for the Iphone and had the customer representative cut them to fit my phone. Then I asked, have I bought all everything for this phone and he goes in the back and pulls out the price guide for the memory cards. I told him, my brother works for microcenter so I don't need any, but he looked up the price anyway. The 8 gig was 80 bucks and I started toward the door, then he shouted wait, I can discount it for 40 and you get half off.... that's how i ended up with my 8-gig san disk microsdhc flash card for 20.00
Just dont buy Adata ones even if they are cheap. I have Transcend one from Newegg and it works fine

I second this, Adata is my first broken flash card and I have bought some unnamed brand.
A-Data or Transflash Class 6 is faster than Class 2 of the SanDust
I bought three 8GB sandisk class 2, one for me and the other for my two brothers :]. i hope it works!!
Where to buy a good Micro sd class 4 or 6 at good price
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
i usually go to newegg.com
What Ever you do dont buy from Ebay FAKES FAKES FAKES!!!!!!!
and go to like a retail stores website(eg. www. best buy .com) because i saw 2GB ramsticks on there website for 40 dollars and i went to my store and saw 2GB ram for 80$ so i brought it up to Customer Support Help Desk they did a price check and i saved 40 dollars so who knows u could get a good deal for a Micro SD card if u ask for a price check just be sure to print out the price/picture of card/SKU#
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.

CM10.1 will kill your Micro SD card .
I haven't seen the benefit of rooting this tablet yet? A LOT of apps are now multi-view supported- Touchwiz isn't that bad- and what? want titanium backup? Use carbon.
