How long have you had it for? Some people have complained about the card dying after a few weeks.

Yeah I noticed that review also. That's what made me pay the $16 more for the other one since it had so many positive reviews and is a well known brand.

I'm the type who puts the card in the phone and then leaves it alone, using WMDC and disk mode to work with it. These cards weren't made to be handled a lot, and the slightest bit of static electricity/skin oil/lint can cause a connection problem.

I have a feeling that the ones who have had problems with it either got a bad card (It happens, and NewEgg will take care of you) or they handle it too much.

I have had it for just over 2 weeks but it has a 2 year warranty so if anything goes wrong you can send it back.

dude im the same exact way that's why when people complain about the card being in a difficult place to reach its not an issue for me because I put it in and leave it in.

What do you think about this one? 8gb class 6 micro sd for only $24.99! Anyone ever heard of this name brand... "Transcend"? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...848&CatId=4020

Transcend invended T-flash, which then became part of the SD standard and re-named micro-SD. so yes, they are as solid as sandisk.

ok sounds good! I think 8gb will be more than enough space for me... I'm using a 4gb now and its only 18% full... I dont use my phones to play music so i think 8gb will be good! Anyone find a better deal?
