SanDisk 32GB MicroSDHC Memory Card

This is the only card I found that worked with my blackberry curve. I can’t begin to describe how happy I am that I can still take pictures and videos on it and download music onto it.

I got this to bump up the storage space in my phone (a Samsung Galaxy S/Captivate). Which means first I had to play with it on a PC, copying files from my old microSDHC card (also a SanDisk) to this one.Bulk file operations (like copying/deleting groups of folders and files) worked just fine, running about as fast as a typical memory stick. Slipping this into my phone was dirt-simple and the phone took it with no complaints. What makes this deal nice is:1) It's the real thing, just not packaged in the fancy retail cardboard thing that you'd throw away anyway2) It comes with an adapter, which was perfect for getting this tiny gadget plugged into my computer's card reader.If you want all the room and you don't want to pay all of the retail price, keep this in mind. It arrived in an envelope inside the typical plastic snap-case which was in turn bagged in plastic.

I know there are not many Windows Phone users, and even fewer that are willing to (in some cases) void warranties to expand their device's storage space.I'm one of those customers though. The short version is this card functioned 100% fine in my Dell Venue Pro that came with an 8 GB card. If you're looking for a good 32 GB card for your Windows Phone, this may be the place to start. I can not guarantee it will be fine in your phone, but I do not see why it would not.I'm going to get more in depth, so if you do not want to know a bit of useless information, quit reading now. This is a good card, even for Windows Phone.Let's take a step back. If you don't know, Windows Phone basically pools all available memory into one space. Internal and external storage is treated in much the same way. So when you install an SD card, you can no longer get the SD card out and use it in a computer or another device.In addition, again, due to the way storage is handled, the SD cards that will function properly with Windows Phones is a bit of an unknown. The SD cards need very quick random access speed, not fast sequential speeds, which is why you can not use class ratings to determine a good card. As a matter of fact, Class 10 micro SD cards are tweaked in a way that increases sequential speed, but random speeds are reduced. This is great if you are someone that wants to transfer a lot of music or other media to a device very quickly, but not good if you want to quickly load a config file for an application you are opening. This is the same idea behind people wanting solid state drives (SSDs) in their computersAnyway, I digress. Windows Phones are very particular about which SD cards they accept due to the reasons I mentioned above. If you want a card that will perform well in a Windows Phone, this may be what you want.

I bought this through Amazon via CalvinnHobbs. After 3 weeks of use, (use 3 times), I noticed it could not be recognized while trying to write data. It became worse and worse every time. I contacted CalvinnHobbs for a replacement, and they responded by email quickly; except after returning by post, they have indicated they have not seen it yet after 8 days. They indicated afterwards that I should have sent it with a tracking number, after I sent it. There was no specific instruction to do so. I've heard of fake Scandisk microsd's and wonder if this is one of them. In any case, I wonder if I will get a replacement. I will update this review in next two weeks.I just recieved noticed that they have received the defective card and shipping out a new one. So far I am relieved they recieved it...update the rating .....and a little surprised it took almost two weeks tho...Anyway, except for the inconvenience, lets see how well this card holds up when it gets here. Its 3/25/2013 and I sent out the card on 2/10/2013. I will update review again after use.I received it yesterday and I have loaded it up to 15gb of data. So far no problems.....so from a customer standpoint they are responsive and courteous. I upgraded the rating higher just because they are responsive, but the product I am still wondering about.Like many products, manufactures are choosing to not burn in the product before shipping and rely on the warranty as it is cheaper for them to do so at the inconvenience of the consumer. Also, I have heard that there are many fake Scandisk microsds out there and still hope this is not one of them. When I get a chance, I will run a read and write speed test. Though I have many non scandisk microsds, I had never had any problem with them before.....

I recommended this product, works great
