Nope, 16GB is limit...The G1' hardware limits it to 16 only, but the card will really have 14Gbs on it not 16...Just like 8gb card has like 7Gbs on it.

It will do 16GB, in theory 32GB as well, but I have yet to see a MicroSD 32GB Class 6 SDHC card, and I just did a google search and didn't see anything either.
For the OP, also check out your local Radio Shack. I was in need of an SD card in a pinch, right here right now, because mine went bad and was causing some bad flashes, and thus needed to fix it ASAP so I could get my phone working right again.
Anyway, they had Sandisk Mobile Ultra cards on sale, and I was able to get the elusive class8 4GB card for $12. Sandisk didn't make them for very long, the performance difference between class6 and class8 is very, very small, and not worth the premium if it isn't on sale.
If they don't have any great buys like I was lucky enough to get (I would have ordered one off the internet when I got home if I hadn't been so lucky) get a class 6 8gb card off the itnernet. Great deal on a lot of memory. If you really are going to use more than 8gb, then go ahead and get a 16gb, but in all honesty the only way you would go over 8gb is if you refuse to add and REMOVE music/videos/pics from you SD card.

I thought it was just a software "limit" and that 1.6+ supports the 32gb out of the box?

Ah your right...Just like Xp cant read cards bigger than 8GB natively while vista/7 can read all sizes.But then again im on hero(1.5) guess that doesnt support 32GB cards.
But i would prefer he saves that money if he plans on getting a new andro

i think i will go with 16gb...seems to be more than enough...not willing to order one off the net only to find it doesnt work...anyone see any good deals on a 16gb card? this was the best i could find...

Much better deals. Amazon will not scam you that is a trustful dealer.

If you have a microcenter near you, they usually have great deals too. Also on the web.

my transcend 8gb C6 actually has 7.65gb usable space.

I am pretty sure it doesn't exist.

Thanks for the replies
I think i will go with the SanDisk 8 or 16Gb class 6 one.

Sandisk Class 6?

Can someone help me find one? I can only find an 8gb class 4 on newegg...

ended up getting a 4gb class 6 sandisk mobile ultra for $22. Pretty good deal for a brand I actually trust

Sandisk 32gb micro SD. Anyone tried it yet?

http://www.sandisk.com/products/mobile-memory-products/sandisk-microsdhc
I'm thinking about getting one, but don't want to drop 200 bucks on it without hearing what others who have gotten one have to say.

What class is it? I just tried finding that information out but couldn't find the specs on it. It it's a class 6 then I would be very tempted to get this. If it's only a class 2 then I will pass.

Am I blind or what lol! Yes, far to expensive for a class 2, and after owning a class 6 card I will never go with anything less.

There AERE NO class 6, 32GB or 16 GB micro SD cards on the market today. (I think its only up to 8GB)

That's not true bro. I'm using a Transend 16 gig class 6 in my HD2 right now, used it in my Blackstone as well.

I have the Transend 16 GB Class 6 as well and love it.
Something has been bothering me for a while now though about a 32 GB class 6. I dont know if we will see one (at least at a "reasonable" price ANY time soon). Think about it. 32 GB is the absolute max the microsd can handle. Device manufacturers are looking into new storage options which should be implemented next year. I just don't know how big of a demand or even incentive there is to release an upgrade to a dying storage medium.

I'm really just looking for more storage space on my phone so that I can put all of my mp3's and vids on there without filling up my card. Class 6 would be nice. Honestly I've never even seen a class 6 micro sd card.

It makes a huge difference when you're transferring files to and from your PC if you have the class 6, much faster file transfer.

Yeah thats why I said I THINK! honestly I been with my 16GB class 2 for a really long time now and did some research on the technology of the 32GB micro SD card, I read somewhere that its not possible for the moment (or something like that when I read it) how ever IF THERE IS A 32GB class 6 or EVEN a class 4 I will Definitely BUY IT!

Samsung 32GB Micro SD
If I am not mistaken, I saw a Samsung 32 GB class 6 online for about $600.00. And I too have read that 32GB is the upper limit for microSD.

I have been using a SanDisk 32GB card for about 1 month now. It says "Class 4" but the transfer rate using WMDC seems a bit slower than it should be (when moving large files). I have since moved files using standard MicroSD reader and have no problem. The [email protected] can handle 32GB. Card is still a bit pricey (you can get 2 x 16 for a lot less).

I have heard RiDATA Lightning Series 16GB is freakin fast it is class 6 for 50 bucks looks like a really good deal.

i just bought one from ebay for $34.99 the seller has 100% feedback and people that bought them says they are good. so ill see if the knockoff works lol. its covered on the ebay buyer protection

Thats not true; sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdxc
2TB is the new limit

where did you guys get the 6 class? price?

If I have to spend $600 on a 32gb class 6 microsd, I'll buy myself an iphone 4 instead.

Sorry Bud, but that's SD-XC, not HC.
It's new tech, doesn't count. :3

First, 2TB is the limit for Micro SDHX I belive, and I don't think any PDAs or phones are set up to use them yet, next generation.
I recently got a Class 2 Sandisk SDHC 32gb at Verizon for $100. It was supposed to be $150 if you didn't have one of their phones (Droid X I belive) but they didn't ask any questions and gave it to me for the cheaper price. Works fine, plenty fast for video etc.
One note, I did try to buy a cheap '32gb SDHC' off thEbay and what I got looked just like the one I got from Verizon but was marked with Class 4. It would format with 32gb but when I tried to load data onto it after about 8-16gb or so it started getting errors. I figure it was one that was tinkered with internally to make it look like 32gb but actually was just a 8gb or 16gb in reality. I got suckered for $25 so beware.

I ended up picking up a 16gb class 4 Kingston one for 40 bucks that actually works really well and my phone doesn't lag anymore accessing files on my SD card like Music...

32GB Class 6 MicroSD - Does it exist?

Where can you purchase an actual Class 6 32GB MicroSD card, or do they even exist right now? I've seen some on ebay, but I'm doubtful that they are legit.
Here's the one I found on Ebay:
32GB on Ebay
Is it really even worth trying to get a class 6 card? I mean, my 16GB is a class 6 and I've never had anything less. But is the upcharge you pay really worth the money?

Newegg has 5 different 32GB cards:
http://goo.gl/eFQn9
It doesn't appear that there are any 32GB Class 6 cards out at the moment.
Kingston's own website doesn't list a 32GB Class 6, so that eBay listing is probably bogus.
I don't think for basic phone storage the class makes a difference.

I have tried a few different class 6 cards and Sandisk class 2 was better. Don't wast the money.

Appreciate the info! I believe I'll be holding out for this one. I have two 16GB that I use at the moment so I pretty much have things covered. I'm really looking forward to getting a 32GB though. It'll be nice to have a phone with 40GB storage capacity.

You have to keep in mind that the class of an SD card only determines the write speed. So, for taking high res photos and HD video, the class is important. But for Apps2SD and other uses that rely on reading, the class is fairly irrelevant.

Writing takes much longer than reading though it seems, because when I run Quandrant and it measures I/O, writing takes much longer than reading.
I found a Class-4 32 gig card at Frys for 100$ so I went with it, not so much for the speed but for the capacity.

If you read only like 2 posts down, it's actually an SD, not a micro. Sorry.

Well the best card on the market for the price is a 16gb
I have found this card at newegg class 10. 16gb, even got a review for the htc incredible that was not bad, but the person did say that it only read it as a class 6. Was only $28. its sold out as of right now, but when it comes back you should probably get one. Im hoping this company makes a 32gb version.
but if you want a known name brand then I would go with Patriot 16gb class 10 microsd which happens to be also out of stock but goes for $38. Probably just the price difference on name brand, but you never know. both are unfortunately sold out. means they are hot right now.

Well the difference is the speed of the read/write, with class 2 its possible of speeds around 2mbps i think where as a higher class card is capable of much higher which is good when transfering files (especially custom ROM's) to the phone. Also browsing through music tahts on the SD is faster.

Are you sure that they are real? At that price they kind of seem too good to be true :/

get 16GB .. it's enough, and if not get another 16GB , buying 32GB is just waste of money :/

i ended up with a transcend 16gb class 6
thx for the help

I know it's a bit late for some so do apologise.

I ordered Lexar 32gb class 10 microSD card from Lambdatek in the UK.
Took a while to get here, but they had the best prices, and the SD card is really worth all the money. Getting read / write spead at 18 / 10 mb/s
A big improvement over my former class 2 SD card and works great for full HD video recording, which was what I was going for.
