I'll give it a shot now. Seagull, what I will say is that my Sandisk Class 4 8GB card couldn't handle it and caused freezing just panning round a room. Popped this bad boy in today and recorded my son playing up for the camera without any freezing whatsoever. This card comes highly recommended from me.

 

Here is the test: YouTube - HD Test 720p HTC Desire Lexar 16GB Ebuyer Micro SD

Look like class 4 sticks are the best bang for buck, $45 for a 16GB where I live, I was thinking about picking one up so I can shove a bunch of music on it.

 

I found 16GB Class 4 for decent prices hard to find in the UK, however my Sandisk 8GB Class 4 card was the issue with 720p recording and therefore wanted to hedge my bets and ensure it worked based on minimum spec.

 

Well it looks like my new card has got to go back :-( thing is corrupt and my data is all stuck on it with no way of removing it :-/

 

is it vital to format the card as i dont think i formatted mine

 

anybody can recommend a good shop to get a sandisk 8gb class 2 microsd for my desire? can't find one anywhere :s currently using 16gb class 2 but it's slow

 

Theoretically one Class 2 card should be as fast as another regardless of the size.

Get a Class 4 or 6 if you want something faster. the Toshiba card I posted above looks to be good value for money.

 

Awesome, been looking for a cheap 16GB sd card to upgrade to.

 

the lexars are back in stock

 

Just ordered mine. What a horrible site ebuyer is. I have never had to enter so many bits of information just to buy something in my life.

 

Which is why I used Google Checkout to buy mine

Got mine today, got similar performance numbers as others. Can't go wrong with it for that price.

 

You still have to register with ebuyer though don't you??

 

My 16GB SanDisk Class 2 card arrived this morning, so I'll test the speeds.

I tested it using this app.

Write: 4.0MB/s
Read: 6.0MB/s

 

Nope. You add it to your basket, then in your basket where it has "continue to checkout" where it will then ask you to login/register, underneath it has the Google Checkout link. You can use this and skip the whole registration.

 

Never used, Google Checkout, might give it a go. Cheers!

 

16G Class 6 is too expensive.

Not worth the money I think.

 

only 2 left just ordered mine...any tips on formatting it before i use it.

Great price.

 

And now 'out of stock' - I got the last one. Can't wait to have a) lots of music and films and b) 720 recording...if Tmobile ever decide to send out Froyo...

 

got my 16gb lexar today:
