Default Some questions about Micro Cards

Hello,
I need a Micro card for my Samsung Galaxy S, and this is my first time that I actually look what mark and whats its speed etc, so I'm new to all this class thing.
The options are:
  • MS SANDISK Memory Stick Pro Hg Duo UltraII
  • microSDHC SANDISK TransFlash Mobile Ultra
  • microSD SANDISK TransFlash
  • MS SANDISK Memory Stick Micro M2
  • SanDisk Mobile Ultra MicroSDHC
  • Kingston Micro SDHC

So which one of these is the best? Is there a noticeable difference between them?
I intend to buy a 4GB one.

Thanks.

this thread should have a lot of good info for you - and you want a micro sdhc card, the sandisk ultra is a good card if you can find one - see my other threads about trying to buy from KomputerBuy and Macmall

yeah, but be careful - the ultra is supposed to be a class 4 card and what everyone is shipping is a class 2 -

see my other thread - apparently there's a mem shortage

i agree the ultra is the way to go, but i'd buy it local and bring a magnifier so you can read the frigging class number

DONATE TO ME
i'm using a Transcend 16 GB microSD class 6, also an Adata 16 GB class 6, no problem reading/writing.

in contrast my old HTC Athena, was only able to READ 16GB, but not write to it, the maxium size the HTC Athena was able to WRITE was up to 8GB, it was really weird to say the least.

Donation is appreciated but not required, a cup of Coffee would suffice
