Do you think it was a good idea for Samsung to release a 32 model? From what I been seeing it not selling as good as the 16 gig one. Plus it's harder to find

I would of also but I got a 32 gig card for 15.00 on eBay. The extra 100.00 was a little to steep for me

Absolutely a good idea. I got a 32gb from Sprint for only $50 more. $200 on Sprint for 16gb or 32gb for $250 is almost a no brainer. Sure I had to order it instead of getting the instant gratification of going right to the store and picking one up but I got it next day shipping so no biggie.
I guess depending on what carrier you're on maybe the price is greater or availability less? But for me it was totally worth it.
Plus when I go to sell it on eBay like I always do to get money for the next phone I will probably get a few more bucks.
Now is all that physical space needed? Lol well I also have a 32gb sdcard (got it at a really good deal on Amazon) and still have 26gb of space on my internal sdcard and a virtually empty external (minus titanium backup). When I quit being lazy I will load several gigs of music but until then I have 55.97gb of empty space.

Why would you bother to buy a 32gb model when you can just buy a 32gb microsd card for much cheaper?

I think it's more of mental thing rather than a actual need for it. Yes it's only 50.00 more but you can always go on eBay and grab a 32 gig card for lesa than 20.00 like I did or buy a 64 gig card for around 40.00. The 32 gig is really not necessary

Also since there is no app-to-sd on these phones, the 32 gig model was more attractive to me since I have lots of apps and contacts etc. I love my 32 gig s3.

Exactly. You can add a large sdcard to the phone (I have a 64GB) but it does not replace the need for internal memory. There are still apps that refuse to place data on the external sdcard and the fact that the internal memory is used for the internal sdcard and data partitions makes the 32GB version of the GS3 useful for some. I am no where near running out of space on the 16GB at the moment. It is SO much more than I had on the Evo 4G, but I have only had the phone for two months.
The point for me was to have the highest model available on Sprint.
That is the 32GB model, and of course I have a 64GB microSDXC card as well. OCD!

This was my plan when I bought the 32GB model. I'm a bit low on cash so I'm just using my 16GB card from my Epic but as soon as I can afford it I'm getting a 64GB class 10.
I had to order the 32GB and have it shipped into the store, but I'm glad I did. I now have the 32GB with a 64GB class 10 microSDXC. I also have a 32GB card FAT32 formatted (since recoveries don't play well with exFAT) that I got before the 64GB.
I bought mine from Bestbuy so I had no choice in the matter.
I got the 32GB model, so I had no worries about all the apps I wanted to dump on the device, and cant be moved to the external SD card.
It was only a difference of $50, and over 2 years, that is, what, $2 a month? 100% worth it, IMO.
In fact, I cant understand why anyone would opt for the 16GB model, as if you can drop $200, you should be able to drop $250.
Glad I went with the 32 gig. Up until 2 days ago, before I cleaned it out, I was down to like 700mb on my internal haha

Considering that micro sd cards are so fragile and unreliable (I went through two of them by using an apps2sd ROM--they each became corrupted within 6 months), internal storage is vastly preferable to sd card storage. So you made a good decision. Wish I'd gotten the 32gb!

I just found THIS 32gb micro SDHC memory card (CLASS 4). Has anyone purchased one yet? I'm real tempted to get one but am a little uneasy spending this much for it to just be a fake. Doesn't Amazon protect you even when you buy from their resellers?
UPDATE: HERE is the review page for the company selling them. I don't know how accurate it is but the second review from the top is most likely about this card.
never heard of topram brand before, and $170 isn't exactly a bargain... especially if it turns out to be a junk card

I didn't say it was a bargain...
I purchased a 16gb class 4 card from topram. I used it in my hero (with A2SD) and now use it in my evo. The card works well and is the correct size (I have filled it with around 15.x gb to test).
I think I paid $18 for the card. When I need more space I will buy more 16gb cards before I would spend that much money.
edit: the card holds 14.92gb.

Just curious, what file table system do you use to format these cards to work with most cell phones. FAT32, FATex, NTFS? Or do you use the internal phones format utility?

Actually, Verizon screwed me over one too many times so I won't have anything to do with them. If you have to ask me, I'd say don't deal with them. Other people seem to have good experiences with Verizon so I guess they just don't like me. I must be flagged or something in their system. Anyways, I go elsewhere.

Gonna have to wait for 2 years at least. If you haven't noticed, 32GB standard SD cards aren't even breaking 32GB/$50 yet. Let alone a Class 2 32GB MicroSD, which has only been out for a few months.

Do not purchase a 32GB micro SD card from ebay. You will get a 2GB card, relabeled to 32GB. It'll even appear to be 32GB when you put it in, as they hack the firmware on the card. But try loading a full 32GB on it and it won't work.
Buy it from a reputable dealer. Yes, there are some legit cards on ebay, but fakes are a RAMPANT problem there.
Any legit microSD 32GB card will work. I'm using the Kingston class 4, found here:

He should be ok buying one off ebay since ebay and paypal will refund if it's not as advertised. They often do miss label the class though. I bought a class 4 off ebay and tested it, and never reached over 1mb transfer rate.

Well, if one's willing to take that risk and hassle, yes, they should be able to get it refunded. Personally I just don't think it's worthwhile. I think that the odds are more likely than not that a "great deal" on a 32GB card (<$50) is going to be a 2GB card with a "3" printed in front of the 2 and a hacked firmware. The ones that are going for closer to $100 are probably legit, but the newegg card I linked to goes for $100 and you know what you're getting.
If you decide to do it, be sure you test the card by filling it COMPLETELY to make sure you get the full 32GB (minus what you lose to marketing BS...a "32GB" card should give you a little shy of 30GB (29.88GB on mine). What it formats at means nothing. You need to actually fill the card with data to know for sure. There's a program called h2testw that can do this test for you.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good 16 gig memory card for my EVO? I am not to sure what it is I need spec wise to have basically optimal performance.
I don't do much camera or camcorder stuff. I would like to have it so I can run apps off my memory card if the program is capable to free up internal memory.
Thank you,
Whiteice
Take a look around new egg. Go off of the reviews, they are often a good guide to which cards are reliable
Bought mine, Polaroid 16gb, at Fry's for $29 last year http://www.frys.com/product/5885833?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG It has been very reliable and fast.

Thank you for the information on the cards. Unfortunately I do not have FRY's near me.
I bought one of the 16GB class 10 Wintec cards off Newegg and it has been really reliable for me. There is a thread about them and some folks had some problems with them, but Wintec is good about replacing them if you do. I have had mine for 2 and a half months and no problems so far. Right now they are on sale for $23.49 + free shipping. Pretty good deal if you ask me. Wintec 16GB c10
If you want a bigger card, Fry's has a 32 gb Kingston for $47 with $13 mail in rebate makes it $35.

I bought the wintec of newegg and it had been pretty good for almost 3 months now and then last night it took a dump. I was able to format and the phone and pc could read it again but I lost over 9 gigs of stuff. And there have been several others on xda that this had happend to. So if u get this one make sure u keep it backed up somewhere just in case.

You wouldn't have any issues with a 32gb card.
The stock specs have a 16gb card but the largest the microsd card slot can handle is 32gb.

+1 exactly the same for me. Using a 32gb card from my previous thunderbolt, and have had no issues whatsoever.
The highest capacity SD-Card that the D INC2 will work with is a 32GB. a bigger one may work.. but you will only be able to access 32GB of it.

Hah didn't know the specs claim 16, I had an extra 32 laying around and have been using since I got the phone with 0 issues.
It's possible the specs just say that because that's what it ships with.
The reason it can't access more, is cuz they don't have higher than 64GB in sdHC
here is a screenshot of the specs. the most it can handle is 32gb but it comes with a 16gb card preinstalled.

That's great to know!
I always felt that the card that came pre installed was a bit on the slow side. Does anyone have experience with any brands using class 10?

Actually it's "Recertified". Meaning that it was returned for reasons other than a defect (most likely incompatible purchases by customers). In order for them to re-sell an open-box item, they need to Recertify the product. They are most likely new, or used once or twice then returned.
"Refurbished" items are items with defects returned, repaired, then resold.
Got one... been meaning to replace my 8GB card in my phone now. Thanks for the link!
sssswwweeettt!!!!!!thanks, man!!!
Killer deal! Ordered mine. Thanks so much!
It is an "alright" deal, the 16gb is great but the class 4 part is kind of a let down.
All in all great post and I ordered one anyways lol but I got a 16GB class 10 from Frys for $19.99.
Every SanDisk card I have tests above the rated speed. Every non-SanDisk card I have tests below the rated speed. I don't put too much stock in the class ratings as most manufacturers (except SanDisk) inflate their card's performance.
its a card FOR YOUR PHONE
as powerful as our phones are trust me the OS will be the bottle neck before a class 4 card is the bottle neck

What do you guys think is the best combo of space / speed / price? Basically is a class 4 card going to be indistinguishable from class 6+? How many if you actually use more then 16GB?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
class 4 is PLENTY for a phone. the only think you should be looking for is best bang GB per buck.
$8 for 16gig shipped "AND" a reliable quality name brand (sandisk) is a no brainer.
the only time you really need more speed is if your transffering massive content VIA A READER to the card daily.
if your TX'ing through the phone's USB card speed over 4 does not really matter since your bottle neck will be the phone hardware not the card hardware.
This was a decent deal but kind of disappointed in the fact that mine hasn't shipped yet and I ordered it last week. Not that I really care because I have a class 10 16GB in my E4GT now.
WTF lol.
