The card may start out the same if it is a Class 2 but once it begins to fragment it becomes worse and worse...the Class 2 indicates that once fully fragmented the min guaranteed speed is 2mb/sec, a class 4 would be 4mb/sec and class 6 would be 6mb/sec...

so can a Class 2 end up similar to a class 4 or 6, yes..but its a risk that you take....

to find out how well your card performs, do a speed test of like 100x for both small sizes and large sizes..by then you should be able to tell what effect fragmentation has on the card.

Your information is incorrect. I have tested (on the EVO and TP2) a Class 2 8gb Sandisk vs a Class 6 8gb Sandisk and the class 6 blew away the Class 2 hands down. File transfers were night and day different. ON A CELL PHONE!

I agree with Gunflight. No matter which way you look at it, the phone does not really have any speed control over the SD Cards. Its all in the card. Camera, Phones, CPU's, Class 6 will always out perform a Class 2.

With faster data transfer rates theres no doubt that a class 4 or 6 would work faster than a class 2. Regardless of the device.

Has anyone noticed a difference in the brand? I have liked sandisk but I'm not sure about the others.

This is why i'm soo torn. I can get a class 6 8gb on amazon for $20 or a class 6 16gb for $60. I just can't bring myself to buy another 8gb when I already have that but I figured the speed difference had to help anytime the phone needs to access the card for pictures, video, music, even cache that alot of programs use. Is $20 worth the speed jump from class 2 to class 6? I don't transfer much from a PC but hoping to increase speed of the gallery and when the phone reads the cache.

You will really notice the speed difference when xfering files from your PC to the device and vice versa via data cable.
