Lol, yeah I can't wait to be blown away by the EVO!

I am coming from a TP2 and I think I will be blown away as well. So I can't imagine what you will be feeling.

the true question we need to know is if we would benefit from a higher class card ... can the phone even support a higher class card then 2 .. .i have read that it comes with a class 2 ... if u buy a higher class it is said that u are wasting your money and the phone would not support the higher speeds anyway ... u can get the 16gb sdhc class 2 card for $30 bucks

I know for a fact that it can at least handle up to class 6 speeds. I don't know about class 10, but if you use a class 2 vs a class 6, there is a noticeable difference in transfer and loading speeds.

Where is everyone getting this information they "know"?

How do we know what class it comes with, and how do we know that the phone can/can't handle certain classes?

Ok everyone I know you guys are excited but I seriously doubt that the phone itself will be capable of writing at 10x but its nice to dream also I don't really see the point as my full HD camcorder only needs a 6X to record at full 1080p so obviously recording at half the bandwith wont require a faster card. That being said multimedia is the most intensive process that you can posibly do with this device so guys save your money. Also am I missing something but what in the heck are you doing with 32mb of space what is that like 6 - 8 hrs of hd video and a gazillion photos maybe I'm missing something or I just don't have time to spend watching full length movies on my phones little screen. Sorry but please think about what you need based on your usage now off to buy my 64 GB class 12 SDHC card for my preordered SuperSonic

Handle yes, absolutely. But the big question is whether the phone can take advantage of the available speed. I'd love to see someone do a write speed comparison on the EVO with the stock class 2 card vs one of the cheaper 16gb class 6 cards... My gut tells me that anything over a class 4 may be moot, but I would love to know for sure...

Ahm..again class stands for "minimum speed"...so a class 2 card can run as same speed as a class 10 card..the only difference is a class 2 card may at points run at a lower minimum causing shutter a class 10 card is GUARANTEED to run at 10mbp/sec minimum..the reason they added the "Class" system was for the general consumer to identify on what they are doing for best results.


Now where are phones with SDXC cards..thats where the real speed and space is >.>..and to the above..you can't have 64gb sdhc cards they are above the specs of SDHC..thats where SDXC comes in...
