Guys, as mine playtime winning c903 didnt reach to me, finally i have decided to buy a new 8 GB microSD card for my K850i.  Previously, i was planning to buy 8 GB M2 card for c903 as my 4 GB card on K850i seems less for me and always been full making slow everything.
Today, i went to shops to buy that. I need you guys' advice.
First i saw 8 GB microSD card of kingston company with one year warranty. Its CLASS 4 card. It costs Rs. 1250 (approx. £ 14.75). I have manage to bargain to Rs. 1100 (approx £12.95). Still the shopkeeper ready to bargain. And i guess he will give me that between Rs. 1000 to 1050 (approx £ 11.75 to 12.25).
Second shop, showed me 8 GB microSD card of Trancead company. It has 6 months warranty. Its CLASS 2 card. It costs me Rs. 900 (approx £ 10.50). No bargain.
I am confused which one to buy ?? I need your advice.

I only buy Sandisk cards, they have better warranty times and very reliable according to my experience If I had to choose I'll pick Kingston cards, but only if I don't have Sandisk as an option ...
Xperia Arc LT15a ->> Sandisk 32Gb MicroSD Class 4, Sennheiser CX400-II & MW600 C905 ->> Modded R1FA035 Firmware, 8GB M2, HPM-70 & MPS-75 Visit my blog  http://laviedepaulo.blogspot.com/ |

I would go for the kingston, its a Class 4, so it means that theoretically, is two times faster than the Class 2 card...
Also, Kingston has been a reliable brand in my case...

the class has no influence on the actual "playing" of a media content. it's only theoretically faster in terms of "saving" files into its memory chips...
kingston is a super brand so do sandisk and i prefer sandisk

I only use sandisk too. Never had a single problem with them. Don't buy a M2, microSD is the new standard.

Sandisk 8gb Micro SDHC (Class 2) - £12.99 from Play.com
Kingston 8gb Micro SDHC (Class 4) - £22.99 from Play.com
I had a Kingston SD memory card a few years ago for my I-Mate Jam and it seemed good but I always look for Sandisk memory cards first as they're always the better built ones and have the better warranty.

Thank you guys for your valuable feedback. Some of you are preferring the scandisk card. Believe me i also wanted that but couldnt find any. And here in grey market, every duplicate card is labelled scandisk. So i am afraid of that. Whereas these two are coming with proper bill and warranty. I know if i do little research i might find original scandisk as well but it might be costs more.
So according to you guys, i should opt for kingston card. I also like that as by paying Rs. 100 more, if i get class 4 card from class 2 then it is worth paying.
Does class 4 runs fast on mobile or it is just transfer rate related stuff only ??

Thank you.
Today morning, i have bought kingston card 8 GB at Rs. 1000 (£ 11.75 ) From noon, i have been busy installing things in it from my 4 GB card to my 8 GB card. Then installing my needed applications. The card is full to 80%. I will slowly check things and will delete them as some videos are useless. Then also, i guess it will be 65 to 70% full.
I have flashed the phone as well.
So far it is working normal just a little leg observed but i guess it is only occasional. I have wrote this very fast without any delay.

congrats on your new purchase...
it's only faster in terms of "saving/writing" files into its memory chips and yes the transfer rate of class 4 is a little bit faster than class 2 but it depends also on other things ie. bluetooth/usb version, os, etc

Hello all,
As reported in my previous post that i am feeling little legginess in using that. But when i checked the card was not inserted properly. Now it is gone but not to full. Out of blue, once in a day, it appear but i love that.
My card has 3200 mb free space. And now i can play video of bigger size of 100 mb with perfect synchronization of audio-video. Previously it was not the case with my 4 GB class 2 microsd card. I am happy that i have made a correct move to 8 gb class 4 card.
