MicroSDHC class 2, okay for cell phones? Does it matter much if I use class 2, class 4, or class 6?

Yes, I think you are correct about the HC (High Capacity) part. I know for a fact that you can use a class 2 in your phone and it will even allow for 720p HD video recording (which is the most daunting task a phone can use it's flash rom for). I have a Motorola Droid X and it came with a 16GB class 2 card which works awesome. I bought a 32GB class 2 card for it and that too works above my expectations. The class specifications on SD cards are a minimum performance requirement (that doesn't mean it will ONLY perform at a certain rate). The only reason why you might need more than a class 2 is if you are a professional photographer using the card in your camera, or maybe you are a high end gamer using the card as flash for your computer. As for phones, I don't even think the data transfer buss on even the smartest phones can go faster than class 2, but I might be wrong. I have noticed that every class 2 (SanDisk) card I have, 1,4,8,16,32GB all perform at about a class 4 rating. This isn't a guarantee, but it seems to be a norm when buying a reputable manufacturer's product from a reputable seller. I only buy SanDisk, and I only buy from vendors that are well known and have great return policies. There have been some illegitimate sales of 2GB cards being marked as 32GB... one way to tell is if the card has a serial number printed on the face. If you still want that added performance of a class 4 card then good luck, there aren't many out there and when you find one it will cost a fortune. Verizon has a 32GB class 2 for 99.99 or maybe 89.99.

Do not listen to Glussseppe G. about Class 10 MicroSD cards.. I am using the new SanDisk Ultra 32GB MicroSDHC Class 10/UHS-! at 80MB/s and it just works find.. Also the class 10 cards will work on any class 4 devices. You just can not use lower then 4 class cards like class 2...

the "Class" represents the minimum transfer rate you should see with these cards. Class 4 = 4MB/s Class 6 = 6MB/s Class 10 = 10MB/s There is an informative page on the kingston site at the following link: http://www.kingston.com/flash/sdhc.asp

You must have a Class 4 for it to work properly. I done the same thing with a 32 mb, Class 10 and got the same result, "mass storage". I ordered a Sandisk, 16mb, Class 4 from WalMart with their site to store to make sure it was a Class 4, cost less that $15. I worked perfectly. I hope this helps, get a Class 4 mini SD card up to 32mb max.

The manufacturer recommends Class 4, no larger than 32 gb (16gb recommended; I think it has something to do with using more battery at 32gb). Using a 32 gb card I have over 3 days of music and have used less than 1/2 og memory.

You know.... I bought this unit and had to return it 3 times because I was using a 32GB class 10 - then after contacting e-prance, they said to use a class 4 !!! I know that a class 4 is faster, but it refused to work. The only good thing is that class 4 are cheaper! I have 3 of these cameras, 1 with GPS and 2 w/o. I love them!

I'm not entirely sure, but they have to be the same Class. I'm just using two 32GB class 10 cards.

Actually, I have the LG Dare & the phone IS compatible with both microSD & microSDHC for memory up to 8 GB. I recently purchased a Kingston 4 GB microSDHC card w/ a reader here on Amazon. Unfortunately, the LG enV2 is not. Hope this helps.

If it calls for SD it should fit. Class 10 is what you should use in camera that does video and takes pictures. I had to sent my back. I had an error code when I got mine. I format it. It took pictures. That evening was my daughter birthday. I took pic and video. I saw it on there. Next morning, error on two PC and laptop. It was asking to insert card in. I put it back in the camera. Nothing. I lost the memory of the birthday party. My trust is in Scan disk and kingston card.

I am using the Class 4 card that you see in the "frequently bought together" section with no issues so far. My instruction booklet even said to use a class 4 or class 6 card.

Check the phone's owner's manual to see if it will accept a micro sd card and if there are any capacity restrictions or class requirements.

I use a generic Class 10, 64-gigabyte Micro SD card that I bought on eBay for $20. Works fine.

I was wondering the same thing when I ordered it. Transflash and MicroSD are the same thing. My phone says to use transflash as well and this card worked fine in it.

What class type of sd are you using? It needs to be at least class 4 or better. The class is labeled on the card itself. The higher the number the better. Most likely it is the correct class unless you bought them at the swap meet or someting but check anyway. Other then that, the problem would be the camera. Just my opinion.

YES is does. (Micro SD cards) The manual however does not specify what size or type (class). I believe it is limited to 16GB and pretty much any class. I wouldn't waste money on expensive class 10 Micro SD cards. Class 4 will work just fine.

Hi, maybe my question is for some techies ridiculous, but I'm totally ignorant and not very familiar with these things. Thus If I want to buy a micro SD/SDHC card for the Clip Zip, what class do I have to purchase ? Class 2, class 6, class 8 ? Thks for your advice
