I've had the phone about a week and the 8GB card is filling up fast. I thought I'd get a 16GB or 32GB card. However, when I started shopping, I had questions.
First question: I see on all of the review sites (Amazon, Newegg, etc.) that what seems to me to be a lot of users say they bought a card that was either DOA, or worked only for a month or two. This seems to apply to what I think of as the "good" manufacturers as well as the ones I never heard of. Can those of you who have used larger-capacity cards tell me of your experience? Is 32GB "pushing the envelope", so that these cards might be less apt to be long-lasting than the 16GB cards? Also, if the card gave out on you, did it mess up the phone too, or were you able to solve the problem with a new card?
Second question: Newegg has a Transcend TS16GUSDHC10 (class 10) for only $1.00 more than the Class 6 for which they are out of stock, but Newegg makes no guarantee that what they sell will work in your device. Should I expect this card to work in my htc Inspire? The Transcend web site was no help.
Third, I also looked at Sandisk cards, such as the SDSDQ-0166-A11M, but I can't find anywhere what class their cards are. I plan to take videos and photos with the phone, so write speed probably matters. I couldn't even find the class rating on the Sandisk web site. I must not be looking in the right place?
Thank you for your assistance to a newbie!
