I would like to get one, but I would like to hear what some users here have to say about yours. Please list brand, and class, along with actual space available.
EX. I currently have a transcend class 2 "8" GB card that actually has 7.3 gb available. It is a very good card, but it can be slower at times. I would recommend it, as I have had it almost a year without a problem. I used it with my titan until I upgraded.

if you have the money go for a class 6. although i am not sure if our devices can take full advantage of class 6 is good to have one just in case.

That 16 and the SD branded 16 were the two I was currently looking at. I didn't know if like somebody else here said, if our phones could take advantage of the full speed of the class 6 cards.

I currently have an 8 gb and I have 100 mb left after deleting some songs because I was too low on memory. (I also only have 14 mb storage left on my phone.) and I still have half music that I can't carry with me.

I wouldn't recommend Sandisk cards, they are junk.

I am on my 3rd 16 gig sandisk, the first 2 burned up & where replaced under warranty.
