And they are sandisk, and not some cheap one's which won't do over 9MB/s?

Can someone please elaborate on this class thing? I noticed that Toshiba SD class has different ranks, but none of the sandisk cards I find says anything about read write speed. Thanks.

Depending on the class, that's how fast the write transfer is I think. Class 2 = 2mbps, Class 6 = 6mbps. I don't think that's the literal translation though, better wikipedia it up.

I personally will find it very difficult to use a 16GB Class 2 card since I do a lot of transferring between computer and phone. I transfer videos, music, comics, and very nice photos.

Is there any way to tell the class from the package of a sandisk micro SD card? I have read plenty of stories about how people ordered a class 6 SD card online, only to find that it is actually a class 2.
