I have had my Droid X2 for about 11 weeks or so. It came with a 8gb micro SD card. I understand that you can put a 32gb card in this phone. I was wondering if anyone has tried doing that? I figured that if I was going to put a bigger card in, I should do it now before I add a lot of stuff to my phone.
 
What brand of micro SD card did you buy and what class is it?

32 GB Class 4 Sandisk. I bought it last year and I've transferred from my Droid X through 3 Thunderbolts that died on me to the Bionic I have now Bionic and it hasn't failed me yet. I do keep irreplaceable data & such backed up on my PC, but it's always worked great for me.

You can find one for under $50 online sometimes depending on the day/ deals if you're willing to search a bit.

But stay away from getting them on eBay unless you know the seller is reputable. Too many people have been ripped off purchasing so-called "32gb" MicroSDs from ebay sellers only to be sold an 8gb sdcard that has 32gb printed on it. Just remember, if the deal seems too good to be true, it is!

I'll second that! There's plenty of more reputable sellers out there unless you have someone on EBay with a stellar reputation and a return policy.

That's a really nice price for a Class 10 32g sd micro, and that's a ton of space for a phone.

I don't know. I have mine almost filled to capacity with nothing but music. I suppose it's more than I need and I could prune it, but for some reason, I just have a problem doing that just in case I happen to be in the mood for that set of songs! :)

I suppose with Google Music and Amazon MP3, I could just leave the songs I purchased online in the cloud and stream them, but a lot of my music is gapless and so, only PowerAmp plays them correctly without any skips between tracks. So, I guess those songs (trance/techno mixes, live music) have to stay on the Droid, but removing the rest would definitely free up some space!

Yeah, that's why I keep a MP3 player around, just to keep that stuff off the phone. Massive amounts of storage, there. And I keep my camera folder synced to my Dropbox with Titanium Media Sync, so if I feel like photos or videos are taking up a lot of space, I can safely delete them off my phone. All this means I have an 8 gb card, and never run low on space. :)
