I have a 16 gig class ten and it made no difference on my N1 compared to the stock class 4 card as far as performance goes with apps2sd and the like during operation. It also made no difference transferring files to or from the sd while in the phone. It is much faster if you take it out and plug it into the laptop though. I'm not sure if that limitation applied to the N1 alone or is common with this one. I was thinking of getting a 32 gig because then I could carry all my music and wouldnt have to hassle with it as the internal storage is enough for all my other uses. Knowing what I know now I will likely go with a name brand class 4 card. Too many horror stories with fake cards and my own experience is that the extra speed from class 10s doesnt do much of anything in my usage.

If you do a search you will find several recent threads on SD cards....

You don't need class 10! because this is not a super professional camera. Class 4 is enough (in some case even class 2 is enough 'cause some people say that class 2 speed of some manufacturers is faster then class 4 of other ones).
I have ordered SanDisk class 4 32gb and still wating for delivery...
Choose only good manufacturers, such as: SanDisk/Trancerd/Kingston/A-Data (and before doing an order, check on their official website (and google a lil' bit) if the particular class exist - for example if you will see class 2, 6 or 8 of Kingston on ebay, know that it's a fake since kingston has only 4 and 10 classes according to their website)

I don't know if this is only in the Netherlands but here its possible to get a 8GB micro sd for FREE from Samsung when you registrate your purchase on the samsung site. (only condition is that you buy your device before the end of may)

On my camera I've had issues when recording hd quality movies in anything less than a class 6.
So I'm going for class 6 or above on phone

Which card did you get? Im looking for the cheapest sandsik 32 gb right now, sandisk's are underrated. a class 2 can be faster than a other brand class 4 or 6.

if you google "SD class speeds " the second link down (this is applicable to micro sd as well gents)

it will show you what class you will need for what application eg recording 1080p on your phone will require a class 4 minimum however class 6 is "moar" recommended
however as stated above class 10 isnt needed and if you read a few reviews some class 6 in the case of sandisk e.g. the sandisk extreme class 6 III is faster than some cheapo class 10.

If you mean where I bought it? I bought in a danish web shop So don't think that's relevant for you
