Anyone tried one from this seller? Too good to be true at £28?

Just bought one last week from ErwinComp, put it in my Tilt2 Friday PM. Works just fine.
wow...i hope this thread takes off, as i will be following this one intently...i hope it's true...i have just about maxed my 16gb kingston with music and i want to add movies...
i read somewhere that the 32gb would not work, so i hope that statement can be disproved...

I notice that Erwincomp are around the $150 mark, whereas the eBay seller was around $40. Must the eBay ones (there's more than one) be a complete fake??
the british listings wont ship to america but theres alot from china (charinging in aud $) that ship to america. i bought one for about $26 (usd). ill let you know if its the real deal.
yall are very braves souls...im too scared to try a cheap-o card...
well, they are labeled as sandisk cards, which are not cheap-o. they are the inventors of transflash which is the first name of microsd. ebay canceled my purchase saying its probably someone who just wants my money and wont give me the storage card. paypal contacted my bank and told them not to move any money. its no loss i guess but i was looking forward to finally having a 32gb card even though i most likely would have never gotten it. i had skipped buying a 16gb card hoping soon a 32gb card would come out and i waited forever and 8gb isnt doing it. i got the 8gb card free with my touch pro. will i ever have a 32gb card?
I just tried my luck on one of these and it was a mistake:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230496569920
The card looked fine, so I copied about 16Gb of data to it (on a Windows machine). When I put the card into the phone most of the files weren't visible. I then put the card back into the PC and they were invisible there as well.
Looks like these are fakes - oh well, let's see how I get on getting a refund....
i did buy one. ebay had canceled the account and bid but payment still went through. apparently it was shipped but i checked the tracking information and it hasnt moved in quite a while so i might just give up. if it comes in, ill let you know if its legit or not. you might want to try reformatting the card. there was a nice hp tool that does it properly. i reformat all new cards, it saves from having problems in the long run.
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/HP-USB-Disk-Storage-Format-Tool.shtml try that.
eBay seller smithadamsmith has Verizon branded sealed Sandisk 32GB microSDHC's (the only sane way to buy any right now) for $105 shipped 2 day UPS.
Mine works great in my Tilt 2, speed class 2 not as underspec'd as their 16GB cards, but plenty fast enough for 1.87GB Avatar movies and running Android 2.2 off card directly.
yeah its horrible. my pics and vids were saved to storage card. almost every time i tried to save a video or take a pic it would freeze up. it was a no name so i cant speak for the sandisk but im assuming its speed class is just too low
Does anyone know of any good deals for 32Gb cards delivered to the UK? The best I can find is Sandisks on Amazon for £81.
The eBay seller I mentioned above ships internationally.
http://imgur.com/Yoatf&5DBj8 it arrived! and it works. i bought it on ebay, ebay canceled my bid, killed the auction and the seller. but i was charged and it was shipped. 2 and a half weeks later, here it is. it needed a formatting and i tried letting windows do it but i ended up resorting to the hp usb disk wipey tool thingy. but after that it worked perfectly. i was going to just dump my old card on to the new one but i actually went through and deleted old and duplicate cabs, backups, and other crap and got it down from 7.5gb to 2.5gb so i have almost 30gb free.
one thing gives me wonders. the auction and packaging says its a class 2 but the card says class 4. im not really worried though cause it works.

Have you checked that it will take 30Gb of data?
yep. i tried loading a bunch of topgears on it. but i had to stop because it was taking a while and the space never seems to run out. but if i ever have 2 days solid to watch top gear on my phone. ^_^
Filling the card reveals the TRUE capacity of cheap Chinese cards, which too often will register as claimed capacity, UNTIL their actual capacity reached shows deceitful trick with far less available.
I found that I could copy files onto my eBay card without any problems, and the card registered the disk space being used. When I removed the card and re-inserted it most of the files were gone however (although the folders were still there).
I tried reformatting the card but got exactly the same result.
Found this on Ebay, don't know though. It comes out of Shanghai and the price is cheap. I'm more worried about cheap crap wrecking my phone. Anybody try one of these yet?
http://cgi.ebay.com/SanDisk-32GB-mi...gital_Camera_Memory_Cards&hash=item1e5e54d767
it won't wreck your phone, but it will probably die after a few weeks - if that long. If you but it, be prepared to throw away your money at some point and all the data on the card.
SanDisk probably won't warranty it because it is probably counterfeit.
don't think u ever will get it
last 16gb card i bought over ebay was about 7€cheaper then all the rest and i never saw it - got money back by paypal thats why i tried (and he had about 100 positive votings).
this seems to be about 50€ cheaper then a normal 32GB card and he has 0 votings - so he propably tires to get the money and vanish into dust before Paypal can claim the money from him.
would buy something more recent.
I bought a 16gb kingston class 4 on amazon, it was around 45$, and they had a promo that if you signed up for an amazon credit card you get 30$ off your first bill. so bought it and paid it off for 15$.
Honestly, with Froyo coming soon and apps2sd, Id really reccomend investing in a good class 4 or 6. The faster the speed of the card, the faster your phone will be able to pull and push data to it.
Another note, my class 4 can move large files at about 8-9 mb/s, but if there are many small files it will only run about 3 mb/s, so Id really recommend a reputable brand. That is not to say the kingston doesnt work good, just to say one of those cheapo 30$ cards advertising class 6 will probably run much slower and break apart quickly
Good point about the speed issue. Can't wait for Froyo.

Class ratings apply to write speeds not read speeds. Theoretically you can write faster to higher class cards, but this usually applies to direct writes on the device (camcorder recording to card) not USB between phone and PC. The USB copies (PC to phone) may be faster, but you have a additional overhead of the USB bus.
Buy a name brand card. I have an 8Gb Sandisk class 2 and it works great for Camera, camcorder, and anything else i want to do with the phone software. My 1080P camcorder has class 6 cards, but it requires it.
I'd steer clear from buying memory cards/ usb flash drives on eBay. I've seen way too many people get scammed on getting what they thought was a 16gb flash drive and end up with a 128mb stick with 16gb screenprinted on it. These microSD's are no different.

Actually I tested this using the sdhc adapter directly to the SD card slot. so no USB/phone interface interfering here. And again, thats what I was stressing. Buy a name brand card, probably a class 4 or 6 considering the move to froyo.

So you got the same MB/s throughput with the card reader as well as the phone connected to the PC? Still puts the USB bus in the way. EDIT - NM I see what you were measuring.
I wonder what the transfer rate is on the phone - back and forth between internal SD and external SD.
Huh, interesting concept. I dont even know of a way to test that
I bought a 32gig card from China for 18 bucks shipped. 1st time I've been scammed on ebay. It seemed to show up as a 32gig, but the phone wouldn't recognize it and wanted to format it....sure thing I figured. Now it shows as an 8mb card that won't format no matter what I do. I disputed it to paypal after the auction/seller disappeared on ebay, but they want me to send it back to China to refund. I considered this might happen and was willing to risk 20 bucks, but it didn't end up well. The funniest part was that it showed up in Kingston packaging, but the date was 2008. I'm pretty sure 32 gig microSD's didn't even exist in 2008.
Thats terrible!! well good luck getting your money back... Lol so I guess if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Id just stick with trustworthy sellers, brands, and sites, and look for good deals!

I am not sure where you found this - but the official specs call for up to 32GB card:

Many people are using 32GB cards. It is the limit of the SDHC spec, so the 16gb is probably a typo from somewhere.

Not sure if the one I purchased is the same because the item post has been removed but mine came from Beijing I believe. Came in a Kingston package which was obviously fake. Put it in my phone did a format and it showed a 32gb card. Writing files takes forever directly from the computer but everything looks good so far. Mainly using it for music.

I just found an ebay.com seller listed a kingston 32gb micro sdhc (class 4) card for just $16 ...I dont whether its a genuine deal or not but till now has already sold more than 80 cards (within 12 hrs)....
here's the link http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270781614305&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Last week I saw a similar deal (32gb kingston for $20) I purchased 3 .... although paypal refunded all my money today when i raised a claim but it's such a waste of time....
Can anybody confirm whether its a genuine deal? ALso can anybody suggest a best deal (with worldwide shipping) for buying 32gb micro sdhc class 4 (or 10) card
Nope they are fake. when you plug it in it will show 32gb but in reality they are 1-2 gb cards. I once bought a 16gb flash drive which turned out to be 2gb. never buy flash memory on ebay esp from china. Buy from trusted sellers only.
the money for the "16gb flashdrive" was refunded to me.

If he sends the same kingston card as shown in the pic.... is thr any chance of gettin fake ...
I hv seen many loose or unbranded cards as fake ....hv u encountered any fake card in kingston's retail packing?
Yes they are fake. Fake packaging. Made mostly for schmucks like you who think they are real because of the box they come in. If you put a Lamborghini logo and a ford, Its still just a crappy ford.
Anyone can duplicate packaging even if it has holograms. Everything is easily duplicated. Also the card they state is a class 4, Which I doubt. Its most likely a class 1. Either way Class 4 is useless. Get at least a class 6 card or class 10 which is best. If you care at all about watching movies or recording in HD onto the card.
LESSON OF THE DAY:
IF IT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.... IT IS!
Thanks everybdy... anyway the listing removed by ebay ...
Mods can close this thread...
If you need a 32GB class 4 - THIS is the best deal.
I have got the same one, and I can guarantee it is genuine. And I am having no problems whatsoever.

Recording and playback will be fine with a class 2 card. You certainly don't need anything faster than class 4. The only advantage a class 6 or 10 card has would be faster transfers between your pc and the card.

I have both...I can claim without a doubt my Class 10 32GB Patriot is a lot faster than my 16GB Class 4 Sandisk.
Where do I notice it most besides PC transfers? Media scanner.... the 32GB scans more than twice as fast as the 16GB on reboots after changes. Well worth the $86.

It scans far more than a "bit quicker". It scans faster then the internal SD card!!
No matter.....I paid $600 for a phone...and am flashing custom ROMS and Kernels and donating to the developers and this site supporting them for more speed with stability, I am not going to cut corners in the same arena to save $40 on a lesser SD Card. I want to get the most out of the handset on all fronts. In that regard the class 10 card makes sense.
Then again people will pay $600+ for a handset, $300+ a year for a data plan and balk at paying $3 for a helpful app or donating to a developer. Strange world this mobile phone world indeed.

Just want to say that remember that Hong Kong is not China even if they are connected and the people look alike. Hong Kong has been a British ruled colony until 1995. China's government tried to make villagers make steel made in the villagers backyards. Do the math.

Guess you get what you pay for when you try to save money instead of buying a name brand card like Patriot. Luckily, Titanium backup saved to my internal usb.
Moral of the story? Spend a few more dollars for a trusted name brand and use Titanium Backup.

Sometimes there are slight electrical variations in the interfaces too causing bad writes.
You think no moving parts, it should be more robust, but not necessarily.
I bought a San Disk 32gb on sale once- from their site for $56 (one day sale in 2010 original price $199). I had to return it twice until I finally got a working one. Back then San Disk was considered the best name brand for memory cards. It would say the same thing, format micro sd card every time I place it in. I eventually bought a 32gb Patriot sd card from Fry's, on sale for $39, and it still working like a charm. I also have a Polaroid 32 microSD card for $29 then, one day sale... still working like a champ.
I agree with sfhub...namebrands fail too.

It works. But didn't want to work initially, formatted to fat32 and still nothing, but all of a sudden it works. Plugged in and out of my phone finally worked. When transfering, my phone crashes (turns off) Running latest Stunner, have to pull the battery, dunno what the bug is, but I have to install files plugged in directly for faster transfer, kinda slow with USB Mounted anyways.

they are a reputable company and been around for ages but apparently their customer service is not very good
do you know if this card would be better than the class 6 64gb sandisk ?
are there any class 10 cards where the read data access times are as good as class 6?
Oh great if it's work with our Galaxy Note !!!
It's strange because it's a class 10 and it's not cheaper ... the class 6 cost very more ... I don't understand this one.

This is my biggest worries about buying microSD card with price that is "too good to be true".
I have bought many many microSD and SD cards (since the days of Windows Mobile phones) and there are tons of fake cards. I noticed that this is usually when the prices of the card is really cheap.
To the OP or whoever bought this card, what's the R/W speed? Use SD Tools from Google Play (link) to measure the speed. In the past, I have bought brand name card from even reputable seller (Amazon Prime) but Amazon themselves got FAKE card. I.e. I got a Kingston Class 6 16GB and the R/W speed is less than 1 Mbps (!!!) My Sandisk 8GB Class 4 R/W is more than 2Mbps.
Not to say bad thing about OP, but just to consider the above.

Hey thanks!
it is always a good idea to be cautious when you buy a memory card and that is why it is important to buy from a reputable store
it seems you were unfortunte to get a dud card as amazon (not amazon market) are usually a safe bet but i guess nothing is for certain in this world ... except death and taxes
Play (again not Play 'Market') are reputable also and been around for many years and i would trust them not to sell fake cards but it is their customer service that is bad. They usually discount things on a pre-release but sometimes they get the availability date wrong and so you might be left waiting. I know Amazon don't withdraw money until the item gets shipped but i don't think that is the case with play and that is where you might end up having a bad experience if they delay shipping etc
some still say a class 6 is better than 10?!!?
