yes it will work. the optimus M has the ability to handle SDHC thus a 32gb card would work. BUT, be very cautious of where you get your card. usually "generic" cards are a big no no. and especially on ebay, someone could be trying to rip people off. personally i got a ADATA 32gb class 4 microSDHC from newegg for $66, i WAS thinking of looking on ebay but the reliability is just TOO low when it comes to such a high demand item like microSDHC cards.
 
Look, here is the deal. I lived overseas and I know what much of what sells online in auctions because I watched people sell it. I'm not going to say that all or even most products are bad. I will say that if you find a good deal, be cautious.

Here is what I do:
  1. I take myself down to the local electronics store.
  2. I find the nearest helper and inform him or her that I want a micro SD card and ask them to point me in that direction.
  3. I buy it and I don't worry about it.

Try Fry's, they are cheap. I avoid all these strip-mall, end-user, post-consumer nonsense shops like Best Buy, Circuit City, and whatever else is going on out that. I don't even know the names of these shops. Fry's has good stuff cheap and I don't need to know about anyone else unless their stuff is (1) better and reasonably price or (2) cheaper and of comparable quality.
 
I would agree with alexseven on this one. Most of the people I know who have tried eBay for SD cards and the like have not had a very good experience. More often than not that "great deal" is a scam.


If you're not going to buy it from a retail store, then I would suggest Amazon. It's where I bought my card and it came in retail packaging. Using due diligence I was able to find a reliable seller.

As with any purchase online, it's best to have a buyer beware attitude. Better safe than ripped off is what I say.
 
Thanks for all the replies guys! I'm going to give them a try. If it sucks, it'll go back. I'm certain the guy doesn't want bad feedback. ;) I did find some on NewEgg that were pretty well priced too. :) All I know is 2GB is NOT NOT NOT enough!
