Largest MicroSD Card

I keep running out of space on the 16GB microsd card that came with the phone. I have about 8GB of music and the rest is filling up with photos and apps. I travel weekly ... my phone is my life ;^)

What is the largest microsd card being used on the Epic 4G?

Thanks for the info! My 32gb class 4 card is on order.

Is there anything I should know before swapping the cards? I figure I can copy all the data from my old card to the new ... but then I started thinking ... maybe there's a better way.

you sourced it directly from buy.com and not a 3rd party right?

I am asking because you gotta be careful with those cards as there are fakes all over..so first thing you do with it is make sure its not fake..

Re: Largest MicroSD Card

whats wrong with the cards from ebay and how can you tell if the card is fake
i havent bought one and dont plan on buying one since 16gb is enough for me
but i have before it was a 4gb for my tp2 and it worked perfectly but never thought about checking to see if it was real or not

1) They make lesser gb cards and rebrand them for more gb.so 32gb may be 2gb..when you plug it in the system tells you 32gb but if you start loading data on the card it will either limit it to 2gb..or it will load it up by automatically erasing previous data...

2) A real card that was made after factories were shut off/was discarded because it didnt pass QC
