SanDisk microSDHC 32GB Flash Memory Card, Black, SDSDQM-032G-B35 (Retail Packaging)

I was given a Samsung Galaxy 3 gig smart phone by my better half - I'm not into smart phones but figured I would see what everyone is talking about and limp along into the 21st century.Most review sites encouraged the use of a data card so I looked around. A 16 GB from Sprint sells for $79 - owch. Prices weren't much better elsewhere especially when I started to look at the big guns - the 32GB cards.When I found them here on Amazon for a mere $22 I thought it can't be - the very best price I found was on a site that looked a bit shaky for $99.99 and that was on sale. Click - add to cart - buy.The cards which are incredibly tiny and arrive in sealed retail packaging, very carefully wrapped and shipped in a sturdy box.They're effortless to install and when I hooked the phone up to the computer to access the Sandisk site each card was authenticated immediately.The free software for organizing stored media was downloaded, the phone formatted the card in a nano second and that was that.The card comes with an adapter - which you use if your computer has a card reader. If not you should probably pick one up. The readers upload data much faster than if you use your phone.Be careful opening the package - there's a tiny strip of paper with your Sandisk password on it - you'll need that to register.The 32GB holds a massive amount of media, songs, photographs, movies - even books and magazines - they also lessen the work load on the CPU within the phone.Most Smart Phones will automatically switch over to the additional storage when they need to - so there is absolutely nothing to do, it's all done for you.Having a card is also a great way to back up anything you don't want to loose.We ended up with two 32 GB cards at half the price of a single 16GB card.Only on Amazon - I think I'm past asking how they do it.

I purchased the 32 gig for my phone as a replacement for an 8 gig. I've had no problems with speed, data transfer, etc. SanDisk makes the best SD cards out there in my opinion, and I payed about 20 bucks for this one with shipping - a 32 gig chip the size and width of my pinkie nail for 20 bucks. I'm planning on buying another to backup the important docs on my HD... Who needs an external harddrive when you can back up to these monsters?! I'm not a techie person, I'm sure there are benefits to using an actual optical harddrive over backing up to to an SD, but seriously, the price for a genuine SanDisk at 32gigs with shipment for 20 dollars is unbeatable. On top of that, I can fit a boat load of videos, movies, music and pics on my phone, I can even make a lo-fi film by using these!SanDisk also has a 64gig (Holy crap) micro SD but I haven't been able to find it for under 60 dollars. It would be great for constant filming, but aside from that you can just swap out another 32 gig.ALSO: The one star ratings that claim these are not genuine SanDisk products are bogus... Read the comments to this particular one and you will find an argument from an industry savvy person that essentially proves that is impossible.The seller does falsely advertise Retail Packaging... it doesn't come that way. Frankly, I don't care. As long as it's new, genuine, and works (IT IS) I don't care. Again, read the comments that debunk the scare that bulk packaging may mean it's not sandisk... this is 99.99% impossible. It happens, but it wouldn't continue to be selling like hotcakes on amazon. These are not "chinese knock offs" as the one star string starts off claiming...PS ALSO BOUGHT AN 16 gig later to replace my 4 gig Pro Duo in PSP (bought an adapter for it too, obviously) and it was dirt cheap for genuine sandisk. I mean well under ten dollars, and the shipping was free. Wow.

I got this 32GB micro SD card for my Motorola Xoom. I wanted to store all of my music on it so I could get rid of my 300 CD player in my audio system. I ripped over 400 CD's to my PC and then synced them plus what I had in iTunes to the Xoom. It all fit (with 13GB to spare) on the SD card so I didn't use any of the internal data storage capacity and the SD card works fast and flawlessly.I have wanted to do this for years and the Xoom ($300 on Ebay) with the SD card is the perfect vehicle for me. I can scroll like a Juke Box through the album artwork by Album Title, Artist or Genre; make as many playlists as I like; search for any song; and take ALL my music with me wherever I go. It's amazing. It lives in the dock on top of my receiver and displays a customized photo slideshow 24/7.We have an iPad 2 but it's out of the dock too often to be used as a primary audio component. It also requires everything to go through iTunes on my PC and I hate iTunes. Both devices have the capability to use the Cloud, which I tried but didn't like. I also didn't like the Google Music app (pre-installed on the Xoom) so I purchased "PlayerPro" from the Android App store.As for the $31 (with free shipping from Amazon) price tag of the SanDisk microSDHC Flash Memory Card, it's a real bargain compared to the $100 Apple charges to upgrade from the 32GB iPad to the 64GB unit. This card is also sold with an optional card reader but once the card is installed in the Xoom, it shows up as a device separate from the "Xoom Internal Memory" in Windows Media Player so you can sync either to the Xoom Internal Memory or right to the SD card. The reader is handy for other applications and it is inexpensive so you may want to consider it, but it isn't needed with the Xoom.The sound quality to me is the same as the CD player I was using. I have read about separate Digital to Analog converters that go between the tablet and receiver, removing the unsophisticated converter built in to the tablet from the signal chain. I'll continue to investigate, but for now, I'm one happy camper.
