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.

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 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.

I purchased a 16gb class 10 joyflash or something like that from ebay, it would barely transfer over 3.2mb/s and then it died that same day, my advice don't buy cheap cards.
yea i bought a cheap 32 of ebay from hong kong. fine at first then after 2 gb phone says card blank or unrecognisd format. ill get a 16gig sandisk for 15 quid of amazon at least it will work
all that glitters is not gold, give them a wide birth my friend.
Sounds to cheap 32 gb cards start from £50 there is no way he is making money on them if they are original but I assume fakes cause he gets them cheaper than £18.47
I had a cheap (fake) 8GB Memory Stick Duo for my PSP from eBay, it stored a whomping 10MB!
lol yeah think ill give it a miss, if most people say there no good ill agree, how come 16gb are nicely priced £15+ but 32gb is whooping £50+

Even cards being offered at £50 require an inordinate amount of inquiry.
As an example ~ last week I sent an email to an online retailer named Memorycardzoo.
The retailer is advertising a Sandisk 32GB MicroSD card as being Class 4 for £55.99 (see here).
My inquiry was to confirm this was indeed a Class 4 and not the slower Class 2.
The retailer replied immediately confirming the cards were correct in that they were Class 4.
I then sent a further message informing them that a lot of online retailers were advertising something that clearly was not as stated.
Again they came back very politely and professionally reiterating not to worry the cards were accurately advertised as Class 4.
As such I placed my order for said card.
Today I got back home to find a small package that had the card within.
On opening the package the card is indeed a Sandisk 32GB card BUT it is NOT a Class 4 but the slower Class 2.
I have just sent them an email asking them to explain their actions.
In the meantime I would advise anyone not to deal with Memorycardzoo until I have an answer.
I shall reply here when such reply is received.
Beards.
I just bought this for £13.99 worth a try class 4 and you can even check on kingston china to see if they are genuine hurry though they are selling like hot cakes.

So you can confirm that you bought and received this card from these people, and that what you received wasn't up to expectations? What was the problem? Was the capacity smaller than advertised? Was it too slow? Was it just a fake, through and through?
I just ordered one before you replied. I wonder if I can cancel an order now!
Not sure if it was these people but same card. worked fine at first 31gb available, stopped working after about 2 gig now nothing will even recognize the card-cant even format it. Make sure you make regular back ups of anything on card, i lost some stuff. Mabey mine was fake i wish you luck-ill never buy cheap hongkong again.
WOW great find, bought one too, half the price of the fake on I bought for 26£ and am getting my money back
they look genuine to me, so i got 1 too, if they come and there not ill request refund lol.
They sold 199 of them with no neg feedback so to me its a good buy

Hi. I've been following the threads about 64gb msd cards with interest and, as a new note user, there is one thing that still worries me. Are these cards reliable? I've read so many negative reviews where a card dies after a few weeks/months. People have frequently lost precious data 'cos they got no warning of this (yes, I know you should keep backups). Can those who use them tell me how long you have been using a specific card for? Are Samsung cards more reliable in the long term? Just can't make up my mind whether to risk it and go for the larger capacity. On the other hand, I've also read some similar tales of 32gb cards failing after a very short time...

Thanks for the info! Yeah, that difference in price is a real shocker!!
I live in the UK, though, so can you tell me the product ref of the card, or post a pic of the packaging? Then maybe I could match it up with one on Amazon uk. We don't have a Microcenter in this area.

That's exactly what I'm worried about! Sorry to hear that! Seems there are a lot of faulty cards around and I've read many such comments in reviews on Amazon. Even 32gb cards, which you'd think would be more reliable, maybe. Can you tell me more about the cards I.e, were they both the same product code and bought from the same place? Did you have any trouble replacing the 1st one?

I know loss of data is a pain but did they replace the media under warranty?
Per there web site .... "The SanDisk Ultra microSDHC/microSDXC UHS-I Card is backed by a lifetime limited warranty"
I have a Sandisk Ultra 32gb class 10 and was wondering if I should switch to Samsung?????
.
Just a quick heads up on the following story, I have been suffering the regularly remounting sd card and have contacted Sandisk for an RMA, the catch being you've got to return the card to the Czech republic at your own expense!
BTW to get an RMA you need the serial number off the card, if like me you can't read it without the help of a microscope just take a picture and zoom in, I know only common sense but took me a while to hit upon it.
I have one of these SanDisk Ultra 32GB Class 10, and yesterday I noticed it doing few rescan media for errors, but today it stopped, is it dying ??? Any page to check if my card is among those suffering from the issue? like serial check?
in the mean time, I am making a backup, just to be on the same side.

No idea how to check or how widespread the issue is, I suspect Sandisk are down playing the number of cards affected.

I went to their sites support chat yesterday. Mine has been throwing an error off and on since I got it. Took a little bit but they were helpful and did an immediate RMA.
The person I spoke to asked for a list of info, serial on back of card was one. Weren't too concerned as I told her I could barely see them.
Emailed me a UPS label while I was in the chat. I'll say it was worth the 20 minutes.

I'd say. Just returned mine to seller on play who says he'll replace it. Just wondering when the fix was implemented, am I going to get another dodgy card?

Same issue with mine. Just awaiting an rma number. I will be buying a Samsung replacement.
According to an article it was "a limited run". Not sure what that means.
Since they were easy to deal with and offered to replace it I'm going to give it another shot.
If this one fails I'll look at other cards.
They are really suck on customer service. I had this same issue at the end of last year, asked for RMA on January 2013, and they got it in the first week, and then it took them about a month to replace it. And the customer support are overseas, India, and everyone will give you his/her word about solving the problem, ecpeically the supervisors, big fat liars. Oh boy, it was a really pain till I got it replaced.

No problem here last time I RMA'd a card, the real headache was having to pay the postage but jfcooley got prepaid postage so no biggie there.
My personal thoughts on what maybe up with the cards is that maybe they deviate from SDHC specification, and that samsung devices are relying on spec being followed hence are more sensitive? It'd certainly explain why they where so happy to fix and replace them, Just my thoughts.
I plan on sending off tomorrow. The email I got said 7-10 days after they received it. I'll try and post actual and results with new card.
Meanwhile my no name class 4 32gb is holding up well. Slower...but this is why I kept it around.
Can you please write the model number of the one you are RMAing? so that we might have a list of models that might suffer from the issue (the code above the barcode)
mine is: SDSDQU-032G-U46A, bought from Amazon Italy
still ok, only for 1 day it gave random Checking for errors, never again.

Did you read the title of the thread? This is about SANDISK cards having issues. I myself had to send my 32GB Sandisk class 10 card after 3 months of use, dying suddenly, to Sandisk and they replaced it FOC.
DOnt mess up the thread by saying your XYZ card is fine, it's SANDISK issue.
