Meritline is an awesome site. I order tons of stuff from there (especially their 3 packs of HDMI cables, usually with coupon for 6.99)
But there shipping is quite slow unless you live close to California. or can wait for things to arrive from the Far East. (Hong Kong, Singapore, China)
The other thing is their customer service is top notch!
For just a couple more dollars you can get one from Newegg if you are in a hurry...
I got a class 2, 8 GB card at my local electronics store for $17. Don't waste money/effort getting your hands on a class six because the Hero won't read it at it's native speed.

That is false, and frankly I'm damned sick of hearing that BS repeated over and over. The "class 2" thing comes entirely second-hand from some user who apparently got a note from a random low-level customer service rep saying something to that effect. Well it's not true.

The Hero is fully capable of exceeding the read and write capacities of a Class 2 card. My Hero maxes out at about 2.5 - 3 MB/s writing to the included Class 2 card, but easily reaches 6-8 MB/s using my aftermarket Class 6 card.
Definitely, definitely, definitely get a Class 6 card, whatever size you buy. It's absolutely worth it.
Anyway, NewEgg will ship you an 8GB Class 6 card from the US for $22.95. I'd recommend that instead.
Great find! Thanks!

Assuming you mean the Transcend card, I got it at amazon at roughly the same price after shipping...and I'll +1 that recommendation.

Even if that wer the case (which is not), then you try and buy stuff hard proofing it for the future, so the logical way would be to buy a class six card, which you can use when in the future you dont have a Hero anymore and do have a phone that "supports" class six.
Even less expensive!
Meritline has another brand Class 6 8GB for a dollar less (with shipping)! Only $18.45.

This is not a deal. If you think it's a deal you're new to the internet. I got a SanDisk 8GB Micro SDHC Class 6 for $18 shipped from new egg. Keep your sights on dealnews.com for micro sdhc deals.
On top of that Meritline is good but has insanely cheaply-built knock-offish type stuff. Got my sdhc card reader from them for $0.98 shipped. See what I'm saying here?

His was also Sandisk, that's noteworthy.
I know a lot of people have good luck with Trancend, Adata, etc... but I try my hardest to stick with Kingston or Sandisk for my SD cards.

Bought from ebay, arrived from new zealand for 33€ total expense, tested the whole 14.84GB real capacity with linux and dd, plus copying back to harddisk after that, and was fine, 7.5MB/s write, 7MB/s read with internal SD reader of my laptop and SD adapter.

Don't remember... just search "microsd 16gb" and check the cheapest one to sell them.
Or, look at the feedbacks left by my nick on ebay
have a 16gb microsd class 6 from a-data, love it. not sure if waiting for 32gb will be worth it, since we still don't know what the prices will be or when it will be available.

It's still certain they will be significantly more than twice the 16gb ones.
32gb SD are out since a while, and they still have outrageous prices, so go figure what will happen with microsd's

It's obviously loading the songs list... the builtin mp3 is just catchy eyecandy with very small configurability, I use mortplayer for my audio playback needs.
Obviously as well, if you ask HTC's support, they're gonna tell you that it's your MP3's fault, and that their software is faultless

assuming they're of the same class, are kingston micro sd cards as good as sandisks? does brand really matter? and is class 2 good enough, or do i have to get a higher class to run everything on a hacked rom g1 smoothly, with apps2sd and all that? thanks
get an 8gb class 6 transcend micro sd card super fast reliable and cheap 22 shipping included at Amazon. ... hit me up if u got any questions [email protected]
Link to a place to buy the same SD card mentioned by aldaris652 is in my Sig.
I've personally been using this same card since the January of '09 and have
formatted/reformatted, ran apps off SD on all ext types (2,3,4), and ran Swap with
absolutely NO issues.
yeah that's what I'm using also....it's great.
anyone heard of CENTON? I just bought a 16GB, 6class version, haven't opened it yet, thinking bout returning and add some cash with the refund to go ahead and order the KINGSTON 16GB-10class

yeah but I paid $74 bucks for the one i got now...so I figured hell, returning it and throwing the extra 26 bucks plus shipping with it couldn't hurt anything, IDK, I might just keep it, and when the time comes (upgrade phone) go out and buy the 10 class as well, and just have two kick ass 16GB sdcards for dual booting

Is it worth getting a class 6 sd card?
I don't use aps2sd atm or swap or JIT and my phone is ok (no secondary partition). It's not worth doing with the card I have.
If I put a class 6 cad in and enable all the above would it make a difference?
Why are you guys getting 8GB cards? I don't even use half of my 2GB.

Most people store more on their SD card then you probably do. For example I have nearly 16 different ROMS at any given time stored on mine. Each ROM is about 40+ mb if not more so it adds up. Then I also store Apps, Wallpapers, Audio files (which is HUGE), and other things. You always want a little extra space.
A 4gb card is usually more than enough for the average user to still have plenty of space and not worry about filling up the card. BUT it all depends on your intentions for the card.
Hey guys i am looking for a good deal on 32gb microsdhc cards. I dont know if i should trust the ones on ebay because i know theres many fakes. Last time i ordered the msproduo cards and they were fake... said 8gb but were only 4gb... so i got a refund on those. Also if anyone knows some good deals on 16gb micro m2.
i recommend to buy at shop
Get a Sandisk card, those are usually authentic and offer great value and performance.
If you're looking for a card to put into your HTC Windows Phone, make sure you get a card with one of the following two model numbers:
SDSDQM-032G-B35
SDSDQM-032G-J35A (will be out for sale sometime this month)
A 32GB microSD card will cost you about 70-90 bucks including shipping. If you see an offer for a lot less, stay away from it.
Yea just bought this to put into my HD7. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=250752727418
SDSDQM-032G-J35A (will be out for sale sometime this month) <--- Thats class 4 and it will not work in HD7 right?

Sandisk told me it's for sale in Japan since January 2011 (this month) but so far I haven't seen it for sale anywhere and noone is importing it from there either. They assure me that card will definitely work, but I have not run a test on it since I can't get one.

no, it's because the seller relisted the item, but he's sold a lot of 'em.
When i bought it, he'd sold at least 12.

Too bad the shipping charges are very high for International orders!
Not worth it with 22$ shipping, sadly. If shipping was 10 bucks I would... Then again, Class 6 or bust for me!
yeah, didn't know shipping was so high for international, as i paid the 8$ it says there.
A pity, it's a great SD card, so if you're in the US, buy it

I got 1x16GB and 1X32GB both genuine, and very quick shipping (4-5 days to Belgium). The 32GB already 1 month working very smooth in my Trophy.
Unfortunately every large memory card I have purchased of Ebay has been fake, either 2gb reworked to show as a 32gb but still only holds 2gb or a cheap nasty card classed as Sandisk or such like, Im not saying these are fake but I would use Paypal where available, this at least gives you some protection.
