memory cards for Nokia 820

[danchar4]

We got the following 32GB MicroSDHC Class 10/UHS-1 memory card on sale for $18.99 and it works great in the 820:

Similar Class 4 card at the AT&T store costs $59:

Or $22 on Amazon:

I'm not sure if the class-10/UHS-1 actually makes any difference; we didn't try HD video capture yet.

Install is simple: switch the phone off, pop open the back, remove the battery, install the card, put everything back together, and turn on the phone. After a second or two, the phone asks if you want photos/videos/music downloads to automatically go to the card or on the main memory. Nice touch. Now my wife's 820 has more storage than the 920 and still cost less. We couldn't justify the additional cost of the 64GB cards. 32GB seems to be the sweet spot right now.

I am new on Lumnia 820, got it on friday last week, but my first impression is very good.
Regarding the Memory card, i can confirm that the SanDisk Ultra Class 10 microSDHC Ultra 32GB is working perfect.
Pluged in as written, installed it and ready to go, pretty fast I think without any problems yet.

Im getting the gskills 32gb class 6 for 20usd as i am not into hd movies to justify the cost difference for an additional 30bucks as i read class 6 or 10 wont make a big difference in handling pictures, music and watching little movies. But if i could find a little less than 50 i might get the 64gb class 10 sandisk micro sdxc uhs-1. Do you think the 64gb class 10 wont pose any problems? Any help appreciated.

I have read that the 64Gb Class10 Sandisk Card makes some problems.
