Advice on getting a MicroSDHC? I'm debating between a Transcend 8Gb or 16Gb both Class 6. Other companies I should look at? Specific sites I should check?

Thanks.

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm getting the Droid Incredible and I don't know what kind of microSD card I should get.

Just keep in mind the Incredible already has 8 gb of onboard memory, so if you only need a total of 16 gb then just opt for the 8 gb microSD

right now i have under 1000 songs i would wont on the phone. i would like to have enough room for 1500-2000 songs. i would also like to have at least one movie/show stored at a time. what do you think i would need?

2000 songs at 256kb/s is 14GB, which would leave you with an additional 2GB for movies/TV, so at the worst case scenario you would still have plenty of space for a movie or two.

Did you end up buying one of the two and if so, how much?

Yeah. I ended up buying the 16GB since the 8GB on-board memory has been giving people trouble. I figured it wasn't worth waiting for a 32GB which will likely be a 100 dollars for a 199 phone (seems too pricey).

Newegg was selling it for $69.99 and comparable sizes were from less reliable companies and with MAYBE a 5-7 dollar price difference. Free shipping and I had a promo code. So paid 49.99.

Note that *supposedly* some Incredibles will be shipping with a 2GB MicroSD (limited offer).

I wouldn't worry too much about the onboard memory issue, this most likely something that can be fixed very easily in all applications by their next update. Considering how fast the current apps update, I would bet that all of the quality apps will have it fixed in the first week or so. I think I am just going to go with the 8 GB, I don't think I will need that much space off the bat.

So do you guys think its worth it to go class 6? Right now i am looking at the Transend 16 gb. The "A-Data" one is also class 6 and $10 cheaper on amazon but I think i might just go with the more recognized brand name. (Any chance that promocode can be used more than once ;-) )
