Good deal on a 8Gb micro sdhc class 6 - Free shipping!

[LGSilva]

I was looking for a 8gb microsd to replace the original 1gb card and the best deal I've found is this ($28.99 - free shipping):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211342

I was going to buy one at amazon.com for $25 (free shipping as well) but I guess $4 dollars more and you get a class 6 card which means faster writing/reading than the amazon's class 4 card.

Why would I want a faster card on my phone? Maybe it will work better to play videos and record them in the future.

No, this one is the regular sd card, the G1 only accepts the micro sd card.

Guys the speed rating make a big difference. especially if your going to be moving allot of files in and out of your memory card. Speed ratings are below.

Class 2: 2 MB/s
Class 4: 4 MB/s
Class 6: 6 MB/s

I would definitely recommend a Class 6

Between those 2 cards, whats better?
I need one ASAP lol.

Be careful of the cards found on ebay. The great majority of them are counterfeit and do not live up to their speed ratings. Buy from a trusted source and a name brand one.

Just get one that has a speed rating of 6.

I can't really say much about the one on eBay because it's a generic picture and there is nothing about the class of the card but it does say it's rated 10mb/s maximum speed.

"Higher Transfer Rate, Max : 10MB / sec."

This could be a class 2 card which could reach a peak of 10 mb/s but only sustain a 2 mb/s speed.

I prefer buying from newegg.com than from Hong Kong.
I've brought several items before from Hong Kong and never had a problem beside the waiting in some cases.

Still a whole lot cheaper than buying from Best Buy, Newegg it shall be.
Thanks for the tip :)

I keep asking this question and get no definitive reply..........

Is an 8g card the biggest one available that will work on our phone? Is there a compatible 16g?

[LGSilva]

The 16gb from sandisk is reported to work with the G1
I guess you can buy it at bestbuy

[Ripsphone]

I am not going to spend the money on a 16g if it is only reported to work.

[LGSilva]

Look no further, Google's spokesman confirms it: http://androidcommunity.com/t-mobile-g1-android-phone-is-ready-for-sandisk-16gb-microsdhc-card-20080930/

[Chedderknight]

Google reps and other sites confirm that the 16gb is compatible with the G1 out of the box, but I doubt you'll see any confirmation from users for awhile, the 16GB being about $100+ right now, and only at Best Buy I believe.

$15.82 to ship something the size of a dime to Hawaii! We get so screwed out here!
