[Q] Am I seeing things? (sd card) - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Am I seeing things, or are they both exactly the same card????
Reason is, I am looking for a bigger card, not a stupidly fast class 10 that will have zero benefit in the HD2....currently got a 2gb card, but was going to upgrade to a 4gb, coz if i'm away for the day, be it fishing, or what ever else, I tend to ram my card full of video clips..so need more space.....but 29.99 for a 16gb seems VERY cheap and it's a good make, Sandisk...but surely i'm seeing things or there's some difference for RIPoff Warehouse to be over TWENTY QUID cheaper than Argos for exactly the same thing???
Can someone do me a favour and have a clicky on the links and confirm they are the same etc...seems to good to be true?!?!??
cheers

Argos: 16GB SanDisk microSDHC £51.05
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5467332/Trail/searchtext>SD+CARD.htm
Carphone Warehouse:16GB SanDisk microSDHC £29.99
http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/ph...sd-memory-cards/buy/SANDISK-MICROSD-16GB-CARD

Several reasons most likely for the price difference, CPW probably buys more so can negotiate a lower price, also CPW customers are more likely to be tech-savvy and shop around online for the best deal (this is why PCW/DSG would scan the web for similar products and reduce their prices to £1 less).
Argos has a reputation for over pricing some of it's things, actually a few years back it had a reputation for over pricing all of it's things, and then before that for being cheap and cheerful.

Try this:

£17 for a real 16GB is good value, even if is only Class 4

[Q] Lexar 32GB Mirco SD

Will this work with our Photons?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lexar-32GB-...1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1318161717&sr=1-1
The price isn't half bad plus it has free shipping. Also, class 10.
Interested if anyone's using one in their photons or anything similar (32gb class 10).
I have a class 6 16GB in mine. WOrks decently. From what I recall the higher the class the quicker it will work, etc etc. And I think for the most part an SD card is an SD card, so if the price is right, and you NEED that much room, get it.
yup. as long as card is genuine it should work.
Thanks guys. That's what I needed to hear!
and yes I do need that much space ^^

lexar has good quality products.
when you buy plz share your experience.
Haha. Cool Man. Let us know how it goes.

Be very carefully when buying these types of items from amazon.
I wanted a 32gb SD card also. Did a lot of web searching for the best price. Found a sandisk 32gb on amazon for about 30 bucks. I jumped all over it. When they arrrived 2 weeks later from China, it was pretty obvious that they were knock offs. The printed label on the card was missing the class information, and the SD adaptor that came with it had a label that was poorly placed. When I inserted the card, it showed the correct amount of memory, 27gb or thereabouts. But problems appeared when actually using the card. Music synced from comp would appear while still connected to comp, but would dissappear completely when disconnected, or appear, but have a 0 byte file size. When i took pictures, they would appear as green blocks when viewed with gallery.
Just make sure your buying from a reputable dealer.
Also, not sure of your location, but current exchange says that item is $65 US. I bought a 32gb, class 10 from best buy for the same price. So its not that good of a price. Though I can't seem to find one right now, they come and go.
the seller in the devilshadow'S link is amazon itself.
Further, Sandisk,Kingston and memorette has too many fakes.
Have not heard fake card of Lexar or PNY.

I'm in europe so the price is about 50ish Euros for me for the card I linked. Also, i am fully aware of the massive knockoff market when it comes to SD cards. It's part of the reason I chose amazon over Ebay. I've also made sure to check if the SD card i bought has the "Dispatched from and sold by Amazon.co.uk" status. The user reviews also guarantee it's genuine.
I bought mine straight from Lexar when they were first released. Ran it in the Evo and now in my Photon.
My first one started exhibiting corruption and eventually died (a few months before I got the Photon). Lexar replaced it with minimal hassle and it's been good to go since.

Lost my 16gb Card!!!
I have a missing 16gb that I was using, I lost it when I removed it to unlock my bootloader as a precaution.
Looking to get a 32gb card!!!
OK, I will say this one more time. #1, Not all cards are alike. I have a class 2 32Gb SanDisk that has treated me well, on Fuze, Evo, and Photon. I got a class 6 32Gb knock-off for the speed BUT, after we ran the test, my SanDisk blew it away by over 50% speed wise.
Next, I noticed by playing with others phones (Hey, I like to play with phones?), depending on what your doing, is different. For example, playing music or playing a game. Games, I found, need higher I/O than music.
I just bought a 32gb lexar class 10 for $60 at best buy. Im in canada right now. Future shop had a sale, they were sold out. I printed it out and best buy gave me the same deal. My advice is becareful online, there are lots fake cards. Look for sales from a reputable retailer.

Will our Photon support one of the new 64GB cards like this one?
http://amzn.com/B005VFG0B2
According to our phone's specifications, that is a firm "No".
Do NOT waste your money buying one, unless you have another device that can support it. It will not work on the Motorola Photon 4G, or the Motorola Electrify.
As far as I know the new Samsung Galaxy Note is the only phone out that supports that card.

It's not a bad price, particularly if you want/need that bonus cable, it's no bargain either. You can get a 32GB Class 4 card for $27-35 from one of the many specials posted around here lately.
That's a normal price, not a steal but a good card

There are a LOT of fake micro sd cards on Ebay!!! Not saying that there aren't any legit sellers on there, but there are way more out to rip you off. Just be very careful if buying one on Ebay.
$23 for a 16gb Class 4 SanDisk card is a good deal. I haven't searched for a 16gb in over a year, but that is MUCH less than the last 16gb SanDisk card!! I've been using a 32gb SanDisk for over a year now, in my opinion that's the only way to go especially considering how freaking big Nandroids are on this phone!

Meh, 16GB cards have been at $25 +/- $5 for months, I don't think I paid more than $30 for my oldest one (c6) last thanksgiving. These things are definitely coming down in price, I'm we'll see some decent black friday deals too... Hard to argue with 32GB for less than double the price right now tho.

Yeah I got a 32gb PNY from Bestbuy, and I don't think there that great. Wanted to try one of those Patriot cards tho
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
I've got several Patriot, Transcend, and Sandisk cards ranging from 8-32GB, Class 2-4, they're all consistently underrated (Class 4 usually more like 5-6, class 6 closer to 10, etc.). All of them have lifetime warranties too IIRC except Patriot which does 5 years. No complaints with any... Sandisk c4 32GB cards are currently going for $35 or less at several deal sites, hard to beat.
Only PNY card I got is an old 2GB card that actually says Toshiba on it, bought it mostly for the keychain reader it came with I think.

Inexpensive micro sd cards

I am waiting for my Evo View to get here and thought I should get the SD card before it got here. I also firgured a new class 10 for EVO 4 would be a good idea. I got a 32 GB class 10 and a 16 GB class 10 for $62 including shipping for both cards.
I spent a lot of time shopping for these and this was by far the best price I found.
Here's the link:http://search.directron.com/newsearch.php?find=micro+sd+class+10&fromsection=1&within=
I hope this helps or saves someone some time..
Good find, though I think I would feel more comfortable purchasing from Newegg for $2 more for the same Patriot one or $45 for the PNY with better ratings. I've just never heard of Directron and there are a lot of merchants out there that sell cheap memory.
I agree with gordonzhao. With the number of fake microSDHC cards out there, it's worth the extra couple bucks to purchase from a reliable seller (Amazon, Newegg etc). Additionally, 32gb class 10 is very tempting but the failure rate is still pretty high for these cards.
I'm in the lookout for at 32gb card for my View, but I think I'll go for a Sandisk Class 4 from a reliable seller as soon as it drops under $30.
Deals on microSDHC pop up every couple days, so if you're in the market for on, keep an eye at slickdeals.
Edit: Newegg has the Patriot Micro SDHC 32GB Class 10 for $29.99 after $10 mail-in rebate (expires on 2/3/12) and free shipping. Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220547
I'm still holding on for a Sandisk.
This place has some of the best day to day prices and all the top brands.
Other than Sandisk everyone uses Samsung chips as Samsung is the leading maker of nand memory and always innovates first in this field.

SD cards arrived today via UPS. in brand new sealed Patriot packaging (I had to use a razor knife to get them open). Every once in a while I take a chance on a supplier, of course I do this a lot more than once in a while. I own an electronics repair shop and I don't always find parts at a mainstream supplier. I've only once been screwed, and it was a highly rated eBay seller. I never got the item, but eBay returned the money. Anyway, the SD cards are perfect. I put the 16GB in my EVO4 and the 32GB in my EVO View. they work perfect, I even copied my files from the 8GB I took out of the phone. it was a class 2. I can't believe the difference in how fast the phone is now. So I can verify Directron is for real and they do deliver quickly.

Kudos on the great find then! I'm on the boat with a Sandisk or Kingston 32gb, either class 6 or 10, maybe even a uhs ; ) I could live with a class 6, but what I really want is reliability more than the class 10.

You think counterfeiters can't make knockoff Patriot packaging? I wouldn't take anything for granted until you fill the card up to capacity (or close to it). The counterfeiters have gotten very good at their craft.
I have no doubt that there are good, legit, lesser known retailers out there that deserve business. But SD cards are one of the most counterfeited electronics items. I wouldn't risk it to save $2. Especially since Newegg is so freakin awesome. Most items ship free, and get to my house the day after I order it (despite picking standard shipping). And if anything goes wrong, their customer service is top rated.

Agree on Newegg, but not on PNY. PNY stuff is trash. I've owned 2 of their products, an SD card and a thumb drive. The plastic casings on both broke apart after just a few months of normal usage. I will never purchase another PNY product again.

Directron is OK, I used them many times in the past.
Texas guys, pretty honest.
If they are counterfeit, then kudos to them. They both have the full advertised capacity, and I had a class 2 8GB in my phone(the class ten is notably faster for loading my apps and files), and the packaging, if it is fake, is far better than I have ever seen done on any fake of anything faked..... I am satisfied. Just wanted to share a good price.....

Naw, if its got the advertised capacity, its likely legit. The usual counterfeits MO seems to be buy cheap low capacity cards, change the screen printing on them to read a higher capacity (and even mod them so they report that capacity to the device), and package them. I suppose its also possible that they may misrepresent the transfer rate/class. But I haven't seen cases of that reported, just the faking of the capacity.
And from the previous response, it seems that seller is a decent one.
Just making the point, take nothing for granted on the internet. In particular, SD cards and phone batteries seem very frequently faked, since its pretty easy to re-mark and repackage them as being a higher capacity then they actually are.

Remember that the Class just refers to write speed (not read), which only affects tasks such as HD video cam recording, and copying files.
Also, Sandisk cards consistently outperform higher class cards from other manufacturers, and often much more reliable. I've run several Class 4 Sandisk cards on my HTC phone and Flyer, and never noticed it affecting performance including lots of video playback and some video cam recording. Always smooth with no hiccups. Although I never video record for more than a minute or so, so not sure if it will eventually need to buffer for longer recordings at higher resolutions.

It would have to, in order to meet the spec. The way memory is manufactured, its never going to be EXACTLY 10 MB/s.

There's no way to know if it's 100% legit or not, but they claim to be selling a 32gb microsd Samsung Class 10 for $15.98 with free shipping. The location is Beijing so it might take a little while. If it is indeed legit, then this is easily the best price I've ever seen.

Just yesterday, I bought the Sandisk 32gb Class 4 from Amazon for $30 shipped. After your post, I considered cancelling the shipment, and going for the ebay Class 10.
...but I think it's just way too good to be true. With every legitimate business selling Samsung Class 10 cards for at least 3 times the price...you have to question someone who would price the cards so low. It just doesn't make any sense from a business standpoint. Even if they did get a huge stock of microsd cards for real cheap, why not offload them for $30? They would still sell like hotcakes.

My gut says that something that cheap either has to be fakes or stolen (or otherwise ill-gotten) goods. Like you said, makes no sense for a legit seller to do this.
I think you guys are probably right. The item location says "beijing, China" and while the seller has 100% feedback in the last 12 months, it seems too good to be true.
I also found out that this same seller has a 64GB microSDXC card for $18.88... The cheapest I've found online is about $150. One guy in the EVO 3D forums said that Best Buy had them on sale for $99 a couple months ago but its back up to $199 at Best Buy now. So if he's selling that for $19 when it could easily sell for $150+... probably something sketchy going on.
Sorry to get everyone's hopes up. lol
Just for info
I have these 32GB+ cards
32GB Class 4 Sandisk
My original 32GB, very stable

Gets corrupted easily, forcing you to wipe the card a lot usually when it reaches around halfway full. Known to have issues with android phones,
32GB Class 10 Samsung
Just got it recently, haven't really put it to a stress test.
64GB Class 6 Sandisk
Just got it recently, write speed from PC to phone is around 4MB/s on a USB3.0 but man... the size is so worth it.

A 64gb microsdhc card on eBay for ~$60 shipped from Hong Kong...... not sure if you are aware of this but the majority of these "too good to be true" deals on eBay for microsdhc cards from Asia are fake.
Don't be surprised if it is a counterfeit when you get it. I do not recommend anyone buy microsdhc cards from eBay. There are a lot of fakes out there and most importantly manufacturers will not honor your warranty if something were to go wrong with the card.
Be smart people, spend the extra money and buy from a reputable vendor like newegg, Amazon, bestbuy, staples, etc. You will thank yourself later.

I picked up a 64gb micro on ebay. Consistent 7+ writes, 20+ reads. 59.46gb useable. It is a class 6. Sandisk Mobile Ultra brand. Ships from Hong Kong so takes about a month to arrive, but no customs charge and best price anywhere.

I would advise caution, and use a reputable ebay seller. Mine deserved his 5 stars review from me. I watched 50+gigs of video files get copied and show up and play, so I know I wasn't scammed. It is a genuine red-and-gray Sandisk.
But I won't speak for anyone else's lack of pre-research.
$65 bucks for a 64gb card is outstanding... and lucky for me, I am patient; years of cool and cheap goodies from dealextreme.com under my belt in preparation.
Example: picked up an outstanding leather case for my Note with the drawstrap built in, cost all of $2.60 and shipped for free. Those guys don't seem to care about losing money shipping small items from Hong Kong free.
(no, I did not buy the card from dx.com)
I agree, know what kind of seller they are before making the purchase. eBay isnt all that bad, ive bought hundreds of stuff on there and never got scammed. *knocks on wood*. Also, if you use paypal, you can always dispute an item.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke

Anyone know of any SD card sales (32GB etc)?

There are so many sites offering stuff, usually I buy everything from Amazon. but wondering if anybody knows of any cool sales, looking to grab an SD for the phone. Hate to buy one only to find out after site X offered a 32GB for a killer deal lol, or if there is some crazy good 64GB deal out there.
I can get this on Prime which seems like a good deal with excellent reviews http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-microSDHC-Memory-Packaging-SDSDQM-032G-B35/dp/B004G60AD6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1337368411&sr=8-2
Would class 4 be too slow? I'm looking for a class 6 or higher.

I'm not sure b/c from what I'm seeing reading, the Scandisk micro SDs seem to perform better and sometimes way better benchmarking then their class specification.... and others seem to be just ok or worse (was looking at a class 6 from another company that others said performed more like a 4). Meanwhile the Scandisk cards were performing more like a 6 if not faster yet rated class 4.... odd lol
Prices will always be cheaper in the future so there is no point in waiting. Buy one if you feel like you need one right now.
Also, there are tons of fake memory cards out there so I'd advise you to pay a little more and buy directly from Amazon if you can. The one you posted is advertised on Amazon but "ships and sold by Everything But Stromboli".
This one is sold by Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007KFXIDE?psc=1

Weird, my link says "ships and sold by Amazon" for me?? I'm logged into my Prime account. I noticed mine says SanDisk microSDHC 32GB Flash Memory Card (Retail Packaging) SDSDQM-032G-B35,Black and yours says SanDisk Mobile 32 GB microSDHC Card (SDSDQ-032G-AFFP)... but seems to be the samething
Frys electronic was selling the 32 gig Samsung class 10 for 45 bucks

I got my two SanDisk 32gb micro sd cards (class 4) for like.. around $20 including shipping each from 1saleaday.com .. I also checked to make sure they were actually 32 gb, or at least the first one (i just stuffed a **** ton of things into it and made sure I could do it).
Check the other threads in the accessories forum, there should be at least one or two threads about SD cards. This thread should be moved there, as well.
i always check out SlickDeals they always have posts about SD Cards.
In general Amazon looks like the best place, iIve seen 32gig class 10 for about $28-35.
Ending up ordering this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007KFXIDE?psc=1 , 21 bucks on Prime was a good deal. Great reviews and seems it performs better than it's "class 4" spec.
Looked at some of the class 10's but prices and reviews were all over the place. Was just wondering if any sales were going on, knowing my luck I get this and tomorrow there will be a 64gb somewhere for 20 bucks on clearance lol
