Just in case anybody was wanting a hands on confirmation....
How much did that cost you?
$199US direct from Sandisk US online store (selling it exclusively at release, and still exclusive through them but also available from their UK store, problems with stock currently). I got it shipped to NZ using Shipito, which is an excellent service for us non-US residents.
Expensive, but then I've had the money saved over a year now since the 32GB cards were meant to be released ages ago!
Why the hell did you pay that sum of money for card !?!? )) DO you really need it or just for fun ? Because maybe it would be smarter to buy now 16 Gb for like 50$ and when that become small, in year or two, buy 32 Gb for 50-100$, because that would be the price in 2 years....but cheers to your purchase
You have no idea how sick I was of not having all my music on the phone, along with room for apps etc. I've had a 16GB card since their first release and its chafed continually since then.
Besides, 32GB cards were expected ages ago, so I've had the money saved! I budgetted to pay even more to be honest, and still would have made the purchase in a heart beat if they had turned as expensive as I had estimated...
Then enjoy it !
thanks on confirmation ,i really wanted it
I have heard some noise about the 32gb not working for what ever reason. I know we have had one user claim that it is working on there device. Is there anyone else who has had problems with the 32gb? Or, are there any other success stories to be heard?

What 'noise' have you heard ? I know personally of someone who has 32GB card in his phone and it is working fine. I have seen two users on here sucessfully claim to be using 32GB cards in their X10.

" I know personally of someone who has 32GB card in his phone and it is working fine." This is what I am looking for, thank you. The rest was just noise.
Anyone else have any actual personal experience of the 32gb microSD working or not?
Yes, I've not had any major issues with a SanDisk 32gb card, a couple of issues with it not mouting correctly when trying to connect it to my computer and use it as removable storage but I get this occationally with the supplied 8gb card too.
Tested with my friends to start off with, and I've since been out and bought my own, you can buy and use with confidence, using mine mostly to store movies (only so I can showcase the phone - I find myself daily needing to justify why I didnt buy a Desire...).
Currently only about a hundred meg free.
It will become a lot more useful once the phone is rooted.
£100 for a SD card is a lot of money... If I were to do it again I probably wouldnt have bought it when I did, knowing my luck by the time we've rooted it they'll prolly be a third of the price!

I can also confirm that 32 GB SDHC MicroSD cards works well with X10.
...and I can confirm that there are 32 GB MicroSD cards out on the market that does NOT follow SDHC (SD 2.00) specifications, and might therefor be incompatible with the X10.
I was careless and happened to get my hands on one of these non-SDHC 32 GB cards.
SDXC (Secure Digital eXtended Capacit) cards does not work as far as I know of.
it seems that the SD card is cheap in China........i wanna a 16G one
China SD cards
I have read in message boards that china is spoofing the settings on the card to make the phone believe it is a 32gig card, and most of the time people get the card, stick it in the phone see 32 GB and give positive feedback to find out later that after 16gigs it craps out and they lose all their data. I would be VERY wary of a 25$ card from china. If you look at the pictures of the china cards, it used to be that there was a round sticker with 32GB written on the packaging. Probably over 16GB... but now the pictures on Ebay are all of a generic white background micro SD card with 32GB written on it.

There is also a BIG difference in price between a Class 2 and a Class 10 card!
Check which one you are getting when you compare them......
verizon wireless had a special offer on the 32 gb card for the droid x customers, now you can find really good deals on ebay (range $65-100) for authentic 32 gb sandisk cards.
I bought mine for $89.99 (buy it now option) and it works like a charm.

Any recommendations for a microSDHC card? I'd like a 16GB. I've been reading up on Class 2, 4, 6, and 10 cards. The consensus seems to be that Class 2 is adequate for most phone usage, except perhaps for recording 720p video.
Any thoughts on this? Brands? I'd like to grab a SanDisk from Office Depot for about $32.
I got an 8gb class 6 for $20 (search newegg for item N82E16820208453 i cant post urls yet sorry).
I figure I may be able to use it in other gadgets in the future and it was only a few dollars difference from a class 4 or 2.
An 8 GB doesn't seem such a bad idea for a starter. I have an 8 GB iPhone 3G right now, and I'm trading it to my daughter for her iPod Touch 8 GB. I'll use it for podcasts and music I don't listen to much.
I'll probably trade up to a 32 GB when they come down in price, and maybe in the meantime I'll grab another 8 GB as a backup / extra "film roll" for trips.
Class 10 is meant for super fast write speeds needed for higher end video capture and the like. Usually DSLRs and such. You'll see a significant price difference for class 6 and class 10 cards. I doubt the Aria camera and system really needs, or even can take advantage of those speeds. Best bet is any basic card I suspect. I prefer going authentic Sandisk >=8Gb. I've been burned recently by DOA Polaroid labeled cards so I'm going back to Sandisk from here on out myself.
I ordered a Class 6 Transcend 8 GB card off of NewEgg. I wanted a Class 6 16 GB, but one comment in the reviews scared me away from the Transcend 16 GB card:
Pros: Reasonable price, good transfer rates.
Cons: When trying to partition ext2 anywhere besides partition slot 1 it returns:
"ERROR: input/output error during write on /dev/block/mmcblk0"
Makes it so you cannot use apps2sd for Android.

I wasn't sure if this would apply, but I didn't want to risk it. The 8 GB reviews all said it worked fine with Android phones.
The 8GB card was only $20, and I figured that I can probably deal with that until the 32 GB cards come down in price. Also, the 8 GB card was a 5x Customer Choice Award Winner, with 624 reviews. Since my iPhone was 8GB, I'm pretty sure I can live with that for awhile, maybe getting a second one to take on trips.
I personally like A-Data, Transcend, and Kingston. I've had compatibility problems with Sandisk before. I like these brands because they've never given me compatibility problems. I've bought a lot of cards from Transcend, but recently, I'm leaning more towards A-Data because their cards are generally pretty fast, like this one.

I got a 16GB card from Sandisk on Newegg for cheap, slapped it in there and it worked perfect. It is a SDHC card also but so far no issues at all.

I got a 16gb microSD class 2 from frys for $17.99 after mail in rebate sounds like a good deal to me. The brand is polaroid by pny, but who cares about the brand.
Sent from my HTC Aria
I've been using the stock card, but used an A-Data 16gig class 6 to root the phone. I'm planning on buying another one to use in the phone. Class 6 may be a little overkill, but i use it in my helmet cam, and i'd like to keep a spare one around. i doubt i can fill 16 gig on the phone.
Bunnie Huang of xbox hacking and chumby fame has done a forensic analysis of a handful of microSD cards in the pursuit of the best quality to include with the chumby device. He determined, among other things, that:
"Kingston is revealed as simply a vendor that re-marks other people’s chips in its own packaging. Every Kingston card surprisingly had a Sandisk/Toshiba memory chip inside, and the only variance or “value add” that could be found is in the selection of the controller chip."
The article is an amazing read.

You'll fill it up quickly if you load all your music on it. Personally, I'm looking forward to when 32GB MicroSD cards are more widely available and the prices are a bit more reasonable.
I picked up a class 2 16gb Polaroid from fry's and I've had no problems. Usually I would never go for that brand (usually go with Kingston or patriot) but the price was good at 25 bucks. Have had no problems whatsoever with it.

The Micro Center flash memory is a good choice. They purchase from source manufacturers and drop the "Micro Center" label. An example would be Micro Center 2GB SD (MMAGF02GWMCU-PA) is also branded as a Lexar 2GB SD and a couple other brands.
I have a 16GB Micro Center MicroSD card in my Evo right meow.
Paid $32 for it, can't comment on the speed (don't really care) but the price point is right on.
Can't complain.
i shop their daily for my business. i think the cards they have now are Sandisk and are all class 2. i got an 8 gig there about a year ago and it was a class 6 but since then they are all ether class 2 or occasionally class 4. if speed isn't an issue then i highly recommend them because if you have an issue with any of their MircoCenter branded products just take it back and they give you a new one no question. i am in Columbus and thats their corporate headquarters and it has the best selection. also it is their corporate policy to price match Newegg on anything in store. the Cincinnati store has given me fits about this but when i tell them i am from the Columbus area and shop at the Bethel road store they very quickly change their tune and match Newegg.
How much is that one? I found a 16gb sandisk on amazon and i get free two day shipping, for 28$

I shop at MC almost every other day and ive bought one of every kind of flash memory they have. All of there SD memory is top freakin notch. Technically the micro's are class 2, but remember in SD storage, the class notates the MINIMUM speed. ive tested the 16gb i have a million time and it almost always comes out to class 6 speeds. There regular sd's are smokin fast and i buy them and use a SD card reader instead of buying flashdrives now. Speaking of which DO NOOOOOOOT BUY THERE FLASHDRIVES!!! They suck hardcore. im talkin 1-3mbps write speeds and an ENORMOUS rate of failure. But all there SD media is completely unrivaled. Dont hesitate, just buy it!
I paid 26 for 16 gb and is class two I get 3mbs write and 10mbs read
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.

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?!!?
