Be VERY careful buying memory cards from ebay. They sell a ton of fakes.

I'm not trying to hijack your thread but instead of starting a new thread this could possibly be addressed here too. Is there really a big difference between the class difference when where just using it for basic phone functions. Like recording, taking pictures, viewing pic/videos (on the phone) opening/running apps off of sd, playing music, downloading to the sd card?
Should we stay away from Class 2 cards? Is Class 6 cards worth the extra money? Are there any benefits for higher class cards when only using the card on the phone?

Verizon has legit 32gb for $99.... Check their site, or the accessories sub-forums here.

I bought a 16GB Ridata Class 6 for 37 dollars with free shipping from Meritline. You could also buy it from Newegg for I believe 39.99 + 1.99 shipping.

there are a ton of mislabeled cards per class ratings out there but from the review I saw on newegg it was a very fast card...two of these is still much less than one 32GB class 2 from sandisk

I have a Kensington 16GB Class 4 that I bought for just over $30 shipped. I love it I wanted a 32GB but didnt want to spend $100 or more for one. I will definately buy a 32GB though when I can find one on sale for a decent price...
