No, it came with 8 gb IN the phone, and 2 gb card was given separately. The 2 gb card is supposed to have ~200 music files on it but I haven't looked in it yet.
Can someone who has the evo please pop out the card, and look for a little 2 in a circle, or a 6 in a circle on the card. Thank you
according to the post below its class 2

huh? i'm confused
If I remember from seeing an uboxing video of the EVO, it is a 8GB Class 2 card.
If anyone's interested, you can get 16GB Class 6 from newegg, $57.99 with free shipping.
Search for A-Data 16gb micro sd
Have an evo in front of me and it is a class 2 8gb card.
What brand of Class 6 SD card should I buy? I see TOPRAM, Transcend, and Nokia but not popular ones like Kingston and Sandisk..
According to this it says Class 2 SD cards might as well be as good as Class 6.
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/1468705.html
Class 2's performance-price ratio might be higher than Class 6. But only considering performance, I prefer Class 6.
I have a transcend Class 6, 8gb I got for $20 online and it works perfect.
Class 6...meh...you need 16gb Kingston Class 10. That is if your device can handle it.
~Jasecloud4
lol i have a mytouch 3g right now..don't think my device can handle it
I am also looking for a 16 gb class 6 sd card but don't wanna pay an arm and leg for. Any recommendations?

Thanks for the link. Is this the sd card you decided to get? If so, how is it so far?
Nah I haven't gotten one yet. I think Im going to buy a mytouch slide before I decide to buy an SD card. My Mytouch isn't too powerful to begin with.
Consider that the Sandisk cards may have a longer lifespan and be more reliable, which is a major plus point if you're going to be using the camera to take pictures of sentimental value.

I thought it was hilarious. You need to relax.
Anyways, I haven't read all that great of reviews on the kingston class 10's. And for 100.00, I can get 2 of the adata class 6 16gb. I think I will pick 1 of those up next time newegg has them instock.
The 16gb sandisk class 2 that comes in the hd2 can drag the phone down if you don't format it once in a while.

That's why you transfer the pics to your computer and then upload them to the cloud backup services of your choice. (I use Sugarsync)

Is this really worth the extra ~10$ ish than the sandisk 16gb? From reviews I have read the, average read/write speed on the sandisk CL2 is about 6.5MB/s which is what the CL6 is "rated for"

What is the best "class" of SDHC card for the Atrix?
I am sure Class 10 would be best, but if there is no performance benefit I would get a Class 4.
So, does anyone have performance benchmarks of different class cards in the Atrix?
Thanks!
My class 4 works with no issues
What is the recommended Micro SDHC Class for Atrix?
Even though it may support class 10, it might not be able to take complete advantage of it. Does anyone know if it results in significant performance gain over a class 6 or even a class 4 SDHC ? Links to articles from respected blogs/websites would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

+1 Don't waste too money on getting a class 10. Hardly any noticeable difference u'd find. Class 4 should work pretty good.
it may not make a huge difference while it is in the phone but if you take it out to load and unload data it will make a difference there....
How would class 4 be for HD recording?

Exactly! It is for this reason I prefer faster write speeds. Cheers.
provantage had lexar 32gb c10 on sale for 75 (82 shipped) a week ago, picked it up since it was 90+ everywhere else. no big difference from that and the old c6 i had that i have really noticed while in the phone. not a big fan of the adapter that came with it.
Bought a 32 gb micro class 10 today and its acting really weird. Still have my 16gb and it works perfect.
Running stock 2.2 still, is 16gb max or what? If yes and I upgrade to 2.3 legit upgrade will it work with a 32 gb?

No, it's the class 10. Lot's of threads on this, try a class 6 card.
Class 10 is not so good on desire z. Try a class 4 or 6 card

Ok so... I bought another one with a class 4.
Class 10 no name: everything works normal but transfer is super super super slow...
Class 4 kingston: weird when I open my computer and turn on the usb connection the H drive (sd card) keeps showing up and disappearing then showing up and disappearing over and over... wtf gives?

ok so im throwing both the sd cards in the reader and formatting them. see if that fixes my problem.
if you still got the packaging and recipt you can still return the cards if they dont work
I'm running a 32GB Class 10 card with no problems. Maybe it's just your card. I had problems with the partitions on my original Wintec card and the company sent me a new one as a replacement.

Ya, thats the one. Finished formatting and copying files to the cards. The Wintec one which is class 10 is running a little bit weird. I'm try the kingston class 4

I have 16GB Class 10 Joyflash (noname). Could you tell, why Class 10 "is not so good on desire z", becouse I dont understand this.
If card reader of desire is slow, on level of Class 6, if you put Class 10, doesnt change anything, but why "is not so good"?
I can safely say that my 32 GB class 6 has no issues. I've been reading on the subject and for some devices the class 10 is flaky... might just be a firware/software issue. Who knows.
But I'm ok with my class 6. Write: 9mb/s and read 24.3m/s
Ok so after everything last night I ended up keeping the kingston class 4 instead of the wintec class 10.
One thing that everyone should know if they are planning to upgrade soon and have forgotten this. The speed to write to a micro sd is slow then the speed to copy from a micro sd. This is my experience last night at least... I can copy a certain file to my desktop in 40 seconds but to put it on took 2-3 minutes.
Anyways, just be patient and go to a place you can get refunds so you dont get screwed with a bad card lol. With my experience the 32 gb class 10 wintec sucks, the write speed was insanely slow. So I stuck with a name brand instead, I really wanted a sandisk but they werent available.

Actually, my original Wintec card was screwing up and wouldn't keep the data partitions written. The replacement I got from Wintec is working the way it should, and it actually is acting like a class 10 card.

Class ratings refer only to write speed. And write speed is always going to be slower than read speed.

This AND, class ratings were documented before smartphones for the purpose of professional photography use in cameras. I have never had any speed issue with my good old class 2 card in my smartphone.

Thank You: I can confirm this.
I had to put a SD in my old DesireZ/Vision for one of my son (10 years... there's no religion....) to replace a old 4GB crashed one.
The phone is running SenseI ROM (fine ROM: a very good way to replace the stable CM7 and run ICS 4.0)
I bought on Amazon Samsung EVO uSD 16GB Class10... and it was not recognized... So I read it on the PC to see if is was good or not: it was OK!
Recovered the trouble upgrading the Galaxy S2 of the other son from a old 8GB class 4 (probably Kingston o Transcend) to the brand new 16GB EVO Class 10, and putting the old 8GBB in the Desire Z: quickly recognized and optimally mounted both cards over both the 2 phones!
But I was disappointed... more than speed performance I thought that Class 10 memory card were also better on quality, due to a more robust and stable architecture of the chips inside.... and
much more recommended for the "systemdisk-like" use on Android Smartphones!
what do you guys think of this brand? decent? new time sd card purchaser...

I agree with Pheno.menon but the price might be worth the shot. Just make sure you use Paypal. I have tried a few of these even named brand and had the file with Paypal to get my $ back. You also want to test the speed if you get get one. I had one marked as a class 6 but wasn't even a class 2. Made the phone freeze up.
I remember reading about a delay when unlocking the screen whenever an SD card was installed. Can't seem to find anything about it now though. Anybody know what I'm talking about?
I get the slight delay but the thing with mine is i get the delay whether my sd card is in or not.

as stated in the op, im a new sd card buyer, so dont bash me lol.... what programs are used to check the speed? ive read on how to see if its legit but not the programs that check them
I remember back in the day on the G1 when you had to run apps to sd and partition your card. I bought a supposed class 6 8gb card on eBay for cheap. It was definitely slower than my Sandisk class 2. I'm using a 32gb class 4 SanDisk I conned my buddy out of his Thunderbolt. Must say so far I like it. Try craigslist. I know I picked up a 16gb for cheap a while ago...
I bought this one from ebay.

higher class number means higher write speeds, but that doesn't always mean better read speeds.
IMO higher class cards are better when your doing photography and video stuff
I read my card more often than write to it so a lower class card with better read speeds is better for me.

I got a sandisk 32GB class 4. It is plenty fast enough. I record pics/video to onboard phone storage anyways. I store vids, music, etc on the sd card and it reads very fast. I haven't move any apps to sd card because we have plenty onboard memory.
what's a good price for a 32GB class 4 microSDHC? i've been waiting for about 2 weeks for a deal to be posted on SD, but haven't seen one yet.
amazon is selling a sandisk for $37. i'm wondering is i should just buy this?
Bestbuy has the Kingston class 4 32gb for 42.99? Do you all think that's a good deal? I know amazon has the Sandisk 32gb class 4 for 37, but i has mixed reviews.
