Would these cards work for the Vibrant? There is no brand name so would there be a problem in terms of reliability?
The Vibrant does support a 16 gb card, It might work flawlessly. However my opinion is you get what you pay for....
price isnt that extraordinary, i would just shell out the extra 10-15 bucks and get the card from a local retailer, save you alot of hassle if something goes wrong with the card.
I personally wouldn't trust any micro sd from overseas as there are numerous reports of incorrect and false sizes. Also if you're willing to pay the price, you can just get one from newegg
Why not go to a reputable dealer first? Like Newegg. Patriot MicroSD 16GB - 28.49, free shipping (for US, no idea about internationally)
I got an 16 gb one from amazon, which was supposed to be a class 6, but I got a class 10. Just search skque or something.....but it was 25 bucks with free shipping

+1 I did this as well
For 5 bucks more you can get a class 10 16 gig by wintec
Here is a link of a test I did a while back:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882962
Don't bother with Wintec...26% of the reviewers have similar defects...Mine slowed down after 2 weeks, then eventually died after 5. Due to my fault for throwing the original plastic wrap out, had to go thru Wintec instead of Newegg. They blamed me 4 mishandling...bought the Patriot cl 10, which performs better (average 14+Mps copying 720 mp4). STAY AWAY FROM WINTEC

Just bought this 32GB micro sd card for my evo from adorama. I think this is the best price I've seen them for. It's a class 4, not too bad.
I think i'll buy this,its a class 4 also,thanks.
was checking my emails and saw that they sent me one stating it is on back order. email also shows back orders ship within 10 to 14 days or I have the option to cancel order. I think I'll just wait and see what happens.
Haha, I literally just had my 16GB come in a few days ago - Got it for pretty cheap, $10-15 I think.
Oh well - I'd never use 32GB lol.
Consider these other items from j4usin:
Patriot Signature 32 GB microSDHC Class 4 Flash Memory Card with Standard SD Adapter PSF32GMCSDHC43P
List Price:$84.99
Price: $30.00
You Save: $54.99 (64%)
Im selling these on amazon,but another guy is $2.00 cheaper than me
less than a $1 a gig is awesome!
Looks like the price went back up to $39.95 now, oh well!
Would I see the benefits of a class 6 vs 4?
Not sure if I could really use the extra 16gb. I got my 16 gig class 10 for that price. Too bad it died.
I just bought one of these and the price is still 29.95.
Mine should be here on the 1st.
I'm stoked!

Ordered one, thanks.
Oh crap Ordered 3 wish I could order more (used 3 addresses and 3 credit cards)
wicked deal!! wish we could find a killer deal on a 32gb card
Ordered one myself, thanks . Still had the 8GB Samsung Class 2 that I transferred from my EVO 4G.
Ordered one.. Thanks for the heads up!
Still have a Class 2 8GB in my E4GT.. It was time for a small upgrade.. Next upgrade will be 32 GB when they come down a bit
Let it be known that this is a "refurbished" card. Still a very good deal if you don't care about that.

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
I got 3 I have some Contour HD head cams that are going to eat these buggers up
Thanks alot, I jumped right on it as soon as I saw.

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.
$26.99 free shipping, newegg, class 10

Ordered! Been waiting for a Class 10 to go under $30 per GB.
thanks, ordered one as well. I have a PNY class 10, but it's horrible
deal is dead now
Anything by skill is usually awesome I use there ram have for years in my desktop

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
Apple just give up the IPHONE sucks deal with it.
I would have bought one of they were more readily available.

I would have got a 32 over 16 if it was out when I got mine

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!

Agreed. Freeza hits nail on the head here.

Isn't the 64 gb model due out by now? My quandary is that Best Buy will give me far more for trading in my Photon but they don't carry the 32 gb

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!
