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.

PNY 32GB High Speed Class 10 microSDHC

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.

Same thing from Samsung and its like $4 cheaper from frys.com

where is the 32gb models?

and why do we have no info on when they will be available? all i see is 'coming soon" on the at&t page. why bother giving us the price tag a month ago then not having them up for presale? will they even be available upon launch on at&t?

Samsung are always the same they say there are 32 and 64 models but they never ever see the light of day here in the UK
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

just spoke to at&t and they said the 32gb model will probably not be available at launch. yet they have the $249 price tag in their systems already. if true i guess ill hold off upgrading. what a mess.
EDIT: i also see they never carried the 32gb model of the s3 so im wondering if we will ever get a 32gb edition of the s4?

I am wondering the same thing. It's just speculation of course, but I wouldn't be surprised if the 32 and 64gb versions will only be available through Verizon in the US. So AT&T gets first launch but Verizon gets a better variety? I guess we will know soon. I guarantee there are managers at AT&T that already know, but as usual, are not saying.

hope it won't be like last year when they cancelled the galaxy s3 64GB version

yeah i got fed up and just ordered my 16gb edition on at&t.

I'm won't buy the 16gb. I want 32 or 64gb. I'm in UK and Samsung won't reveal anything. 16gb is no good as only 8.9gb is free to users. And all apps and games and app data has to go in phone memory. Not micro sd.

I don't see any reason for AT&T to skip the 32GB, they have it as coming soon. Some speculate that Samsung is pushing the 16GB out first since its more popular but I don't see why they can't get both capacities out, its a pre-order for a reason.
I am porting from Verizon to AT&T so I have to wait and I'm stuck on a crappy old flip phone while I wait. I didn't want to get stuck hold the bag on my last phone and lose the value on it. My hope is its shortly after launch, but my fear is it could be a month or two after launch. No more Verizon, so AT&T better step up.
If they have a sku for the 32GB GS4, then its clearly planned, just a timing issue.

we are all just speculating of course but if they focused all manufaturing on one model (qualcomm 16gb) then they are more likely to meet demand rather then if they fragmented at launch and possibly missed shipping on multiple models. just a WAG tho...

Watch out on ebay.. There suckering people with 32GB S4 = 16GB(internal) + 16GB(microSD)

I spoke to sammy today and they have no info on 32gb models. As i said i just sucked it up and got the 16gb today. I have a 64gb sd card anyways.

My S2 Skyrocket has 16 GB internal memory and I have never come close to filling it. However, it all depends on how people use their phones. I don't use mine for music or movies (at this time) so my biggest storage issues are phone related (nandroids, Apps, pictures and videos, etc...) and I usually use the external SD for the pics and vids. But here is why I want the 32 GB model:
1. If I ever find myself in a situation that I need or want to take a lot of videos and pictures but don't have an extra SD card with me or a way to transfer them to another media. It would suck to run out of storage when it is really needed.
2. 32 GB might not be needed (by me) right now, but with larger and better apps, games, and similar being developed, it can't hurt. In the future it will be welcome.
3. The 32 GB model will look better than the 16 GB model when / if I ever want to sell it.
4. External SD cards crap out all of the time. Having enough onboard storage to temporarily back up important info, pics, and vids will be nice.
Of course, like I said, everybody's experience differs and some people definitely need more than 16 GB to start with.
If the 32GB isn't offered, I guess there won't be a choice.

I'm just fine with my 80GB model.

A lot of chatter, but really.... if you want it soon get the 16gb version. if 32gb is important to you, then wait. No point whining about the fact 32gb isn't available yet. 16gb will be the most popular by far, it makes sense they started there.

Thanks for your opinion but the thread is about the 32 GB version so there is no point in you calling OP related issues "whining". As stated, I (and many others) would like the 32 GB version so any information about it is certainly welcome.

I know, some people just never read the fine print. I am just sitting idle until AT&T says something.

Wheres the 64GB love? Can I get a 9500 (ex5410) + 64GB + LTE is that too much to ask?

is there any way of loading apps on the sd card? 16gb seems awful low

I'm waiting as well
"Life Companion" at 16GB ..

Last i read was the 32gb will be available when the s4 is officially avail April 30th. But I would not hold my breath as it was not from a credible source. I too am waiting for the 32gb as 16gb just won't cut it.

16GB or 32GB?????

Which version are you guys going for? Was planning on getting the 32GB at Best Buy, but then I saw the $30 off coupon for Staples, but it looks like they only carry the 16GB version. I am half tempted to wait for the 32GB LTE version, since I have an unlimited AT&T iPad data plan...

I just ordered the 32gb from Amazon with Saturday shipping for $300 after tax and expedited shipping.
$30 off Staples would be awesome but I think they are being jerks and holding the NN7's til Monday, probably when the coupon expires.

Doesn't matter, my staples doesn't seem to have any stock of the 32gb version, only the 16......

For the old one I went with 16 and a USB Drive but I just bought a 32GB from Best Buy, upgrade difference in price is small and if any of the disk-full related issues return that would mitigate it.

The 16gb out of the box has about 12gb of storage.
That's more than enough for me. I don't have music (I'll stream over WiFi if need be), pictures will be minimal, I hardly play any games, I will load some movies on to it for my son, but those are short term items that will use storage.
I plan on getting an OTG cable in case I want to look at pictures from my SLR or if I need to swap movies around.
Unless you play a lot of games (like GTA where the file size is over 1gb) or store a lot of music, I can see a need for 32 GB.
My N4 is an 8gb model and I use less than 2gb of what's available (4gb still free).

32gb because the file size is very large for a lot of tablet games. I also want to be able to pin a lot of magazines and music to my device without needing to uninstall apps. I had the 16gb for the original and I'm glad I got the bigger one this time

I ordered the 32GB. I don't actually use 32GB of storage on the tablet, but I do recall that with the previous Nexus 7, there were dual-bootable distributions of Linux. With 2GB of RAM, the faster processor, HDMI out, and the higher resolution screen, the new Nexus 7 looks like it could really run a distro of Linux well alongside Android. That being said, it is far more comfortable to have 32GB of internal storage for the two OSes.

Damn I forgot about magazines. Oh well those are around a gig each and I'll just delete them after I read them.

I remember being mad when the original 32GB n7 came or for the same price I had just paid for my 16GB. I'm just glad the bigger one is available at launch this time.

yeah same as me...I got the 16gb original one and was pissed when like a month or 2 after the 32gb model came out. Was it really so hard to make a 32gb model for the launch last year but yeah we'll see a 64gb model come soon hahaha but 32 is fine for me. I mostly use it for movies and stuff while I travel and to read flipboard in the morning

So I decided to cop the 16gb at best buy. 32gb sold out. I also realized I dont store much on my tablets but I do watch lots of movies, surf the web, read and so on but Ive never filled my old asus transformer 16gb tablet. I know many will go with the 32gb and it is always about the individuals preference. Yay to being part of the nexus family finally
