16 or 32Gb. The answer to this is what you want to store on the card. Unlike windows, android stores nearly all apps in the phones memory, so the SD card is really only for photos, documents, music, ebooks and a few files that are needed for some apps. So ask yourself how much data you want to store.
In my opinion, Class 10 will be a waste, as you are limited to how fast the phone can read write to SD card. A Class 4 should be all that is needed, as you will not notice much difference between a Class 4, 6 , 10 as you are talking about read/write speeds in nano seconds.
The other thing to remember is a 32Gb Class 10 card will cost GB£150
A 16Gb Class 4 card will cost around GB£15, 10 times less.

Very interesting. So, is that space enough to store your applications (at least a decent amount of applications that a heavy user will require - and I assume that most people here are heavy users) or will it be like my old TyTN that I needed to remove applications in order to install another one that might be more important?
sorry to say this, but you are wrong, apps can be stored in the SD
No he is right. There are many apps that can only be stored on the phone itself. It's to the developer of the phone to decide. Until now, there are way more apps that run from then phone memory. He wasn't saying apps can't be stored.
MyMemory.co.uk have a good price on their own class 4 32GB card, have one on the way for my DHD will see how it goes, the postage seems to take a while from Jersey to here.
I've just bought a Kingston Class 4 32Gb micro SDHC - £80, and tested it with h2testw (or whatever it's called!) and got a very respectable 4.72Mb/sec write speed, and 15.7Mb/sec read speed - more than enough for Android. And loads of space for everything!
I have a Kingston 8GB Class 4 Card which is about a year old. I get regular write speeds of 8.26 MB/S and reads of 18.1 MB/S.
Not sure if this is an anomaly or what but I would say that class 4 is just fine. Now just need more capacity!

I don't understand why the price difference is so huge between what you guys brought, is it possible that this card is a fake? if it is what do you think i should do next?

It would be great if you could post your opinion of the card once you've used it.
