Default Micro SDHC Card and Dual Sim Adapter Queries

Hi all! I'm thinking of replacing my stock Tosh 8GB Micro SDHC Card with a 16GB one. What Class would you all suggest to me? 6? 10? I'd like to mainly watch some movies, play games, take pics etc.

In addition I'm thinking of getting a Dual Sim adapter so I can have my Voice Call SIM and my 3G B.Band SIM on the same phone. What do you all suggest? Should I opt for the non-cut SIM one? (will it fit under the back cover?) or the one where the SIM cards are cut to a smaller size and inserted into a holder?

Thanks in advance
Max

If money was no object, Kingston offer a class 10 16gb card, thats the fastest card available, if you can find one, a class 6 card would be nice, and a fair bit cheaper, after that, class 2 and class 4 are available.

As long as you think the performance is worth it

there's been a change to the way the classification system (aparently)

what was once a 4 is now a 2

i COULD BE WELL WRONG ON THIS

but isn't the class just the write speed, not the read speed?

(ie all files play at the same speed, but the higher class writes the data there faster)

i've put 10gb of music on a <€30 16gb & no probs what so ever.......

Sort of right, the class is somewhat irrelavent, because it relates to streamed HD content, like a HD video recorder or soemthing, so it relates to the minimum transfer rate the card can support for video recording

Hello mate ,

get the sandisk mobile ultra 16 or 32 gb. A friend of mine has recently purchased the kingston class 10 and it is absolute rubbish not worth the £80 price tag.

hope this helps,

go for sim cut process if you can get a sim replacement easily in case of failure.
