Simple enough,

Does anyone know the largest size external micro SD card that the USA T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant supports?

I'm wanting to buy a 32GB one, but I don't want to if it won't support it,

help?


EDIT: Does anyone know what class external SD card the Vibrant comes with as well?

I don't have one but others have confirmed it supports the 32 gig. Waiting for it to come down some more. For me its not worth it. Due to the size I have a small case I keep in my wallet and now I have 32gb lol.

I got a 16gb one for 36$ at Radio Shack because it was so cheap. If it supports a 32gb maybe one day I'll switch but the one I have is good for now.

My stock 2gb card does not have a class marked but thru bench results and testing, im guessing class 2....BEWARE!.....I bought a 32gb sd that had no class markings. It detected the sd and all seemed well untill i tried to play a video. You get what you pay for. NEVER buy an sd with no class markings! It didnt even have the capability to be used as "ready boost for windows" I now have the sidekick and swapped my 4gb class 2 for the sd card in my old lady's 8 gb class 4. What a huge difference in video playback (c2 vrs c4). And if you want to move apps to sd. Class 4 or above is the way to go.

My mom just bought me an 8gb micro sd for my upcoming birthday. Luckily it's a class 4. I'll be using it for movies and music.

There was a lot of discussion about external SDCards in the Nook Color forum because of the Nook's ability to dual boot and run a second OS from the SDCard. Many brands of cards and class of cards were tested. It came down to "do not believe" that a higher class card is really faster. Testing showed that a class 4 Sandisk SDCard was faster than all other brands class 10 cards in random read writes. In some cases by a very large margin. The classes are based on sequential read/write only.
