I ordered it directly from SanDisk http://www.SanDisk.com/products/mobile1-memory-products/SanDisk-ultra-microsdxc-card
there are way too much counterfeit out there, and I don't want to lose my money, this thing is not cheap

step 1:
Remove the back cover and any protective casing from your phone
step 2:
Unmount the SD card to prevent data corruption, wait until you see the message "Unavailable" before step 3
step 3:
swap out the old microSD card from the phone (in my example it was an ADATA 32GB class 10)

step 5:
make sure the new SanDisk 64GB microSDXC is mounted neatly in the SGH-T989,
for reference it works in the old GT-I9000 and Milestone XT720

step 6:
Format the SanDisk 64GB microSDXC,
Settings > Storage > Format
step 7:
when completed you should be greeted with the new SD card sizes,
notice that you will never really get the max advertised size, as it loses some bytes on the FAT32 indexing and directories,
there's a more lengthier explanation but I'm not going into that, if you want to know more feel free to google it
step 8:
put the back cover on and any protective casing for your phone
Enjoy!

... want to know what I'll do with my newly added space?

Dang dude. You went all out for this phone huh?
Maybe I'll grab one of these after the 1st of the year and see if the price drops. 64gb does sound great though as my 32gb is almost full with music.

Just ordered one direct from sandisk and used coupon code D478Q which saved me 10%. Total came out to 197.99.
Just putting that info out there.
Edit: It appears that ground shipping is free until the 28th. So that's why the total came out to 197.99

yup, i took advantage of the 10% off as well, there was no mention when it was going to expire

These are on sale at Best Buy for $99.99. They were out of stock last night, but just checked and they're back in (can't post the link due to noob status).

Its the Samsung adapter and the reg price is $49 so no worries about the product.
And newegg is a reputable seller. No worries there either.

Can't tell for sure, since Newegg didn't list the manufacturer part id (EPL-3FHU) in the details, but it does look very similar to the $42 one on Amazon.

VS Amazon's:
It actually looks more similar to the Galaxy S2 mhl adapter (the image was just rotated). The S3's is a little bulkier and rounded.
Galaxy S2 mhl adapter:
99.5% sure it's NOT legit.
I gave it a 1-star review and notified NewEgg about the error.

Keep in mind this cable is not shipping directly from NewEgg. They handle other companies much like Amazon does, here is the page for the store that is reselling this: http://www.newegg.com/theWireless
Some people complain of wrong items/things not fitting. It's a great deal if it's true but I would use caution.
edit:

Also check this out, picture of the adapter for the S2, looks just like the one in the newegg photo (matte and not shiny), like I said, i would use caution.

The issue here is that it's not actually being sold by Newegg. Newegg pulled the same junk like BestBuy and started offering 3rd Party sales incorporated into their site.
I'm 99.9% sure this is just an adapter for the SG2 (and other similar variants).

I miss the old newegg that just sold electronics, most of it computer parts. Now newegg is just like Amazon. If they are the seller you know 99% of the time it is a legitimate item.

I think you still need the 5 pin to 11 pin adapter

Just got off the phone with a rep from theWireless since I jumped all over this before reading everyone's response. They did confirm that the list was not correct and it should have been for the S2. They are pulling the listing and cancelled my order, best service I have ever gotten for a product I was returning/cancelling.

They still haven't updated the product description.
Also, FWIW, I left a 1-star review yesterday letting everyone know that it was for the S2 and not the S3, and NewEgg basically ignored me with this email reply meant to limit negative reviews.

NOT for S3
The model number Newegg gives for this is EIA2UHUNBEGSTA-BBB, which is the model number Samsung gives for the 5-pin S2 version of the MHL adapter. The S3 version has model EPL-3FHUBE. The model number and the photos match the S2 variant, this is the 5 pin adapter.

I ordered this before reading the rest of the posts sadly. After I read the rest of the posts I just went ahead and ordered one of the samsung adapters on ebay so it will be a total of 30 bucks. I am glad I read the rest of the posts before I got this in the mail to find out it was the wrong thing.

Moo.com is a custom printing company that specializes in high quality business cards and "mini-cards". Their latest product is a business card with a writable NFC chip inside. They've taken to calling it the "third side" of the business card.
No technical details or pricing yet, but if you place an order for one of their other products, they'll throw one in for free.

It's simply a NFC tag embedded into the paper. Should not be that expensive.

that is relative damastus. NFC tags are currently about $1 each ordered on ebay from china (anyone found cheaper?)
$1 for an NFC tag is not much $1 for a business card is like buying a solid gold business card. IE you won't be selling too many

Interesting, will see how this works

I only need one card to be NFC enabled, and that'll be in the clear card holder on the front of my binder. Then people can just tap it to add my business contact to their phone.
EDIT: Of course, currently I'm just going to stick a sticker on the back of my current card... But if I can get one free the next time I order cards, might as well.

ay cheaper than $1 mate!
amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=blank+nfc+stickers&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Ablank+nfc+stickers&ajr=0
and rapidnfc.com has wristbands, key fobs, custom printing, and more!
I think i would rather pay pennies to the Chinese to do that for me tho!

Is there any advantage of having NFC enabled business cards when I already have a NFC enabled Phone with a Business card app? I am new to NFC, so its possible I am missing something.

the advantage is you can "do" interesting things with your business card (embed stuff in it electronically)
now you CAN do the exact same thing with QR codes as well (and they are free) but NFC requires ZERO initial input from the user if they are already "set up" to use NFC (it its already turned on etc.. etc..)
just touch the card to the phone and it "does it" while the QR code requires them to install a camera scanner and requires them to load it run it align it with the card get it in focus etc.. etc..
Just a more "transparent" form of QR basically but for some operation that transparency makes the difference between useful and useless.

This I understand. I was just telling that a NFC enabled phone can act as a card, what is the advantage of a separate card.

I am trying to be humurous here
so your just going to hand them your $500 phone and say keep it ? hehe
point i they can take the "card" with them. they can't take your PHONE with them and it retain the NFC active transparent content.
should also be GREAT for word of mouth once NFC is more common place.
let me give you an example. you have a large client who can possibly get your MORE clients. you give them one of these special NFC cards.
now when he see's someone else who also needs XYZ he can say he I know this guy here scan his card and he pulls out your business card and touches it to the back of this other person's phone and poof they got your info too.
lots of interesting usage possibilities. just needs to come down in price.

Portability, mostly. You don't have to fire up your business card app, and hand the phone to someone. I know a salesman who has an NFC tag on his portfolio - at meetings he uses that to share his business info, then gives out business cards. He said it's mostly for the coolness factor, and to break the ice (he sells software to geeks like me )
That said, I don't expect to see these get real popular at $1 a pop. At 10 cents, yes. As someone else pointed out, a QR code is free. Moo will let you add a QR code to a business card or mini card.

q426669 is right, a simple NFC sticker would do the job as well, but this supplier: TapMy.Biz actually managed to integrate the chip inside of the paper itself. So it actually feels like paper and the chip is totally invisible. Price is a little more than 1$ just that you get the mentioned added value I just described. Also they do the encoding for you which saves you time. I tried a few suppliers and they where the only one that actually ship right now, and don't deliver total crap.
Like nerys71 said NFC business cards are a great way to be remembered, so for some it might not be worth it to invest so much in a business card but like he said for some it really pays off. It really just depends in which industry you work in. A flower store for example wont get as much out of, but a grafic designer (links to his online portfolio) or app dev (links to the app in the playstore), or a simple startup (has vcard info on it) might benefit a lot from that. Investing in your business card can pay off. Check out this funny video which fits the subject: youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4YBxeDN4tbk

those are a bit more than $1 they are over $2 a pop even if you order 100 of them (whats $155 Euro's in US $ ?)

155 euro is about 200 usd. If nfc becomes more popular I reckon ways will be found to make it cheaper.

But its not a Class 10?
Does it have HDMI?:angel:

Ordered.
This is pretty cheap at this time.

You can get a class 10 on amazon for $53

Just ordered mine! $43 w/tax

Will we really notice differences in performance between class 10 and 6 from our phone? I dont really mind the time for file transfering, but what about playing games, movie, saving video/pic to sd card, etc ?
Thanks

good thing is.... if you decide you want a class 10 instead you can go to a bestbuy store and return for instant credit instead of waiting a week to mail back and another 3-5 days for refund

Normally I would answer that with NO.
but these phones are "fast" enough that you might. but it is VERY unlikely you will see a difference in "phone" operations YOU WILL see a dramatic difference in phone to PC to phone transfers however. especially write speeds.

i looked at a few bench marks and its a difference of 2 mb/sec which is a huge difference in some applications, but it most cases not too big of a deal

I thought the SG3 could only handle 32gb microsd?
Damn, just realized this is only for BB.com and not BB.ca
That really sucks as I was going to buy one!

From what I understand Bestbuy has these marked wrong. sandisk does not make a class 6 SanDisk Ultra microSDX card.
www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/microsd/
I remember reading somewhere else when they had a similar deal and people were actually receiving a class 10 card.
I just ordered one...guess I will find out.

had so many rewardzone certificates built up and i just decided to use them all today! Such a great deal. IM SO HAPPYYY

It is a class 6 and has been discontinued. The deal for the class 10 you are referring to was on Amazon.

The class 10/UHS-1 you mentioned is SanDisk model number SDSDQUA-064G-A11A whereas this Best Buy deal is model SDSDQY-064G-A11A.
RadioShack has the faster one on sale for $39.99 but good luck finding one. You might be able to get Best Buy or someone else to price match the RadioShack deal though, I've checked Staples and Office Depot and although they both sell the faster card they don't carry it in store. This was on the phone though so you might have luck going into one of the stores and asking that they order you one and price match.
I was going to try visiting some local stores tomorrow, if I end up going I'll be sure to report back.

guess i should have posted this $47 class 10 deal (too late now)
http://slickdeals.net/f/5297680-San...SDXC-Card-with-Adapter-Class-10-U1-48-Buy-com

Just want to update everyone that this is indeed for a class 10 card. I went in and had them price match bby.com in store and when the class 10 card was scanned it was for the same sku. Model # on the package is: SDSDQUI-O64G-A11

I am going to say that you are right on this one... I already have the class 10 64gb but I ordered another one from Best Buy cause I had a bunch of reward zone coupons to use.... Read through the reviews and you will see that a few people mention that they also got a class 10 on the last deal which was $49.99 and Staples.com has had this error on their website for ages and they have different part numbers listed so they would not price match me from Amazon a few weeks ago but I just found out that theirs is a class 10 too and they had the part numbers screwed up but the pic showed a class 10?? Anyways, the class 6 cards were discontinued quite awhile ago and that's why you don't see Amazon selling them, just the class 10. Crossing my fingers but I am sure that we are getting a class 10 on this deal even though it says otherwise.... Only time will tell though and I will have mine on Friday so I will update.
SEE PIC ABOVE.... I would buy one now guys if you need one.... Also, look at the pic VERY closely on the 32gb version that is also on sale stated "class 6"

I'm getting a free Gear VR as well. But, I didn't change any of my information to do so. All I did was submit my claim for the Gear VR and I was approved. I know Samsung had problems with the Note 7...but I just didn't see it as necessary to cheat the system. Enjoy the VR, though. I'm certain that I will.

Good to know.
It was a chance I didn't want to take, so I did much unnecessary CYA.

I've received the SD card and the Gear Fit 2. I'm going to give this a go with the exchange receipt and see if it flies.

I don't see where a Gear VR was ever offered with the N7. Does anyone have a link? I only see the SD card or Fit.

Anyway for international phones, such as the FD Duos version, to get a gift? I tried once back before the recall and it didn't except my IMEI number.

This... Seems really wrong. Morally speaking.

How so? Please explain your moral dilemma.

Photoshopping the receipt is a big nono to me. That is morally wrong with it. But enjoy it. We only get a 128 GB SD card if you pre-ordered it. If we are lucky, the phone will become for sale at the end of November. Perhaps we get a free fire extuingisher with it.

Mark this heading as US only so the rest of the world doesn't get over excited

I will send you my 2GB SD that I've been using to prop up my table and prevent it from wobbling.

It says the promotion is over. It also does not mention the note 7 under the promotion for the vr.

Wife just got a Verizon note 7 AFTER the recall (she's been waiting for it to go back on sale) anyways I entered in her information for gear vr and it was approved... I May try again for my recalled note 7 using your technique

Really guys? .. photoshopping the receipt to be eligible for rebate is fraud.. mod should close this thread.

As one of the millions who received a recalled Note 7, I was curious if I could somehow score a second promotional item with my replacement device. My first prize, the 256gb SD card, arrived within a couple of weeks. Upon receiving my replacement Note 7 yesterday I went to the Samsung Promotions page and entered my new IMEI and WiFi MAC address. Then there's the required upload of the receipt of purchase. At this step I feared that Samsung may catch me double dipping if I submitted the same receipt, as T-Mobile does not give a new one with the swapped unit. As a T-Mobile customer, this paperwork is called the Jump On Demand EIP finance contract. I imported my PDF contract(TMO emailed to me with the original unit) in Photoshop and changed the date to yesterday's date, then switched a few digits of the contract number. Lo and behold this worked! Now I get a GearVR too!
Enjoy, my fellow nerds.

The promotion is not over, it is valid till 10/9.

I did this with my replacement Note 7 using the PDF EIP receipt from T-mobile. I didn't Photoshop anything and included the new IMEI and selected "other" for phone instead of S7/Edge.
If you look in the terms and conditions it mentions that the note 7 is included in this promotion. Perhaps they didn't want to highlight this fact in the promotion due to the recall? Anyway it shows that my claim is processed successfully!

And we in Europe get ****...

I applied and selected other as my device since the note 7 wasn't listed. It let me get to the email verification stage. We shall see.

Checked the website using the claim code they issued me and it says approved waiting for shipping. Thanks to the OP for the heads up. This takes the sting out of all the running around they have put me through. I used my exchange receipt, no Photoshop.
