Its fine in the phone itself, because its the read speed that is most important there, but slow when you do big transfers to the card (for example loading movies, or music).

That said, if you can get a higher class (they are available for 16GB cards), then you'll happier with it for the transfer speeds to the card.

I may wait until the price comes down and/or 2.2 comes out so I can put the apps on the card.

I've also seen some people blaming slower cards for video recording being choppy as it can't write the large volumes of data to them fast enough, not sure how big an issue this is or if it's something you'll want to do, but another consideration to bear in mind.
