Best Memory Card for TP2 (Sprint)

Marvsway · #1 (**permalink**) 05-06-2010, 12:47 PM

I'm looking for a 16GB memory card for my TP2 (was thinking of a 32GB but I saw on some threads that it was really expensive) and wanted to know which would be the best I could get and where is the best place to get it. Maybe share some stories on which ones people should stay away from. The main use for the memory card would be for music (tons of it) and movies. Also, some games for smartgear, but they don't take up too much space. I couldn't find any thread that spoke specificly about this so I decided to start this one.

I am using a Polaroid 16gb HC micros SD card class 2. I purchased it at Fry's Electronic Store for $29 (sale). I am using 8gigs currently- this includes documents, music, movies (4 full length movies), short videos 30 min (20), apps and yes, smartgear and game roms (10 games). I have been using this card for half a year now with NO issues, lags or problems. Also it does not waste my battery- can watch a full length movie and some.

Ebay lists a Sandisk 16gb for $34.45, new, free delivery.
16gb Kingston bundle at Fry's $62.99 http://www.frys.com/product/5976284?...H:MAIN_RSLT_PG
Panasonic 16gb card $27 after rebate ($42 regular) at Fry's http://www.frys.com/product/5885833?...H:MAIN_RSLT_PG

The best card would be a class 6 16gb..as for class 2 16gb those you can get for 20$ if you look. (for the record the 32gb card is class 2 so its not worth it either way)

Class 4 and 6 16gb on a deal go for around 35$ (you want the class 6 if you got a choice but class 4 is fine, class 2 is usually slow for some operations)

All microsd cards are pretty much generically the same..brand don't matter too much..BUT you have to make sure you don't get a fake card. And by fake, some places sell cards that did not pass QC from the manufacturer. These are the cards that you want to avoid as they can have data loss and other issues.
