I want to buy a 8GB microSD card. Is a Class 4 speed card good enough for the G1 or will a Class 6 be better? If its overkill for a G1, its no sense in spending more money.

i might not be correct but if its a 8gb card it should be ok to fit the phone...I mean its not like the 8gb cards have been out that long anyways...they should be able to work with any hardware

8GB works fine in the phone, thats not my question. SDHC cards come in speed classes, Class 2, Class 4, and Class 6. I know that high speed cameras need the Class 6 cards, but does something like the G1 benefit from a Class 6?
BTW, 16GB cards work fine in the G1 also, they are just a bit pricey right now.

I run a Kingston 8gb class 4 card with absolutely no problems at all.

I use 8gb Class 4 everyday. No issues.
The 1gb that came with your G1 is only a Class 2
Here is the data sheet on it:

Well I think Class 6 would be the best if later on in the future there would be a patch that allow us to run apps off the SD Card..
