Micro SD in Phone at purchase? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

So When I bought my SG S II I got it from Best Buy, only because it was a sunday and I had to have a phone. Anyhow, did you guys get an SD card with it? I thought at least it would come with a lame 2GB like my wife's Infuse, but I got nothing? WTF? My buddy with verizon gets 16GB cards with his Droids. SO Im am wondering did I get gimped out? or do they come with no SD card?

I got mine from AT&T and I didn't receive an SD card as well. Although, for me, I was trading in a thrill. although, I still paid $235 so I feel that I should have gotten one

I think most HTC phones have very little internal memory (from a quick search, HTC Sensation has 1gb, Thunderbolt hs 8gb) compared to ours, which is why they probably include a microsd to keep up.

Yeah, direct order from ATT, it came with nothing at all. Slightly dissapointed it didn't come with even a headset.

Now THAT was disappointing.

This was one of the most bare bone purchases in a while. I was just happy I got a box...

It was disappointing.
The Droid Charge came with a 32gb Class 4 in it AT&T is way too cheap to ever have anything like that.

I'm more disappointed that the phone did not come with the media dock or HDMI cable... I've got my 4GB card that I had been using in my Cappy so I am good to go...
Don

You guys do know the Galaxy S II comes with 16GB built in, right? None of them come with a card. I work at Sprint and own an Epic 4G Touch (Sprint GSII) and it doesn't come with one.

I found a 32GB class10 on sale.

Well that's because the Charge had 512mb of internal storage. Class 4 microsds are slow as hell. I never move any of my apps to SD for that very reason and just use it mainly for music only.

Again, the GSII has 16GB built in. That's why it doesn't come with one in the box.

Then how come other Samsung phones like the Infuse, which also has 16GB internal storage, came with an SD card? It's not a big deal to me as I already had an 8GB card ready to go but clearly Samsung gutted the package a tad too much. Infuse also came with the HDMI adapter.

My sgs2 came without screen....bad joke
I have the infuse and it came with a nice headset, hdmi adapter and 2GB sd, this sgs2 just came with a $200 bill, i think they pull out all that stuf to keep the price at $200 with 2 years contract like the infuse, sgs2 is more expensive... bahh

Coming without an HDMI adapter kinda sucks...
Now, coming without an utterly worthless 2GB SD card - glad they didn't do that.
This reminds me, tomorrow I need to run some HDMI tests on my Infuse

Good point on the headset, forgot about that. I question whether some of these items removed were to promote the sales of BT headsets though... but again, I already had one so luckily not a huge loss here.

That level of assurance is just what I needed to buy.
Seriously though, when making a purchase remember that if it's too good to be true it usually is.
looks like the product was removed. probably some fake stuff or rip off.
Doesn't the x 10 come with a 16gb SD card?

No thanks. Nearly all memory cards on ebay are fake.
Avoid memory on e bay ,you can get great deal from online retailer like tigerdirect .
they are crap and not worth the hassle. I won one on bidding for £9, thought i'll give it a go because your covered by paypal. The data transfer speeds are extremely slow and will keep asking for format when your trying to browse files via pc. Complained to the guy n got a full refund. Cheapest and good quality memory cards are around £27 class 2 anything cheaper is just a fake.
rogers canada ships with 16gb

[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 ^^
@devil:
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.

How much more does the sdxc part cost vs the sdhc? I think we'll be good on the sdxc spec for a while, the size limit is 2TB.

64GB MicroSDxc

Anyone know if this is compatible with the Amaze?
Just curious if anyone has actually tried it.
Good price right now at Best Buy!

Gathering infos from those link, it seems like one will have to using the phone to format (aka erase the card from inside the phone) the card and in some case, formatted it to NTFS
Some time ago while i still had htc sensation there was a post about it and 64 gb worked but not the 128gb. I assume its the same for the amaze but dont takemy word for it search the forums. From what i found the galaxy note cant use 128 gb one

Guess we're just going to have to wait for someone to buy one of those 64 or 128 cards and find out. I went ahead and bought a 32gb card last week before I even saw this post. Too bad, if I'd have known there was a possibility that the 64 would work, I would've gotten that one.

I use Google music but then again you need data connection and it uses bandwidth. Not a big music listener. I'm more of a photo person hence the amaze.
I thought the Amaze accept 32GB max.
how could you use 64GB, is there any way how to bypass this limit ?
if it worked on the sensation why wouldnt it on the amaze?

Someone should go to best buy, try it and then return it
Sent from my HTC Ruby using XDA App
That was my plan. I have some Best Buy gift cards but unfortunately they are sold out. If the price stays the same when they are back in stock I may do it.
I get paid this Thursday and I was going to get a 32 but if anyone can find the 64 in stock by then I will give it a shot and let everyone know if it works
Does Bestbuy have a restocking fee?
I would try it but I hardly use the entire 32gb on my existing card so don't really have a need for it.
Maybe if someone worked at a place that sold them and they could just try it out. Maybe that's asking a lot though.

I don't believe there's a restocking free on sd cards...just computers, tablets, tvs.. not small stuff...a quick call would suffice.
works perfectly
Hey y'all,
I noticed some wondering about this card.
So I got mine from Amazon, class10 64mb sdxc
When I first put it in, notification said card error.
Then it prompted me to reformat.
I let the amaze reformat her and now I've got 60 gb free showing in the settings apk under storage.
Just wanted everyone to feel confident I'd they want to spend the money, several vendors addy amazon do have the cards in stock now.
Good luck!
i may have to end up ordering one
I've returned a 32Gb PNY card about two weeks ago from BestBuy and there is no restocking fee charged.

Did you receive a 128 or 256 microSD card?

I pre-ordered on the 25th for the TMO black, with the N7 deal. My email confirm said I was getting the 128gb chip, which goes for a little over $50 on Amazon. I just opened the box, and to my great surprise, I found a 256gb MB-MC256DA/AM chip inside. It goes for around $150. With the fast charger, that means around $200 in goodies at retail.
Thank you Samsung!!!!

Here in Finland and pretty much all Europe is not getting sd-cards or fast chargers with their note 8. We are getting the Dex-station. That is so lame. I would rather take the fast charger and sd-card, but thats not an option here in Finland.

I'm pretty sure they are just getting rid of what they had from last year to now.
For the price, it works great. I've been using one since last year in my v20 and not a problem.
