I am thinking of ordering a 32GB SD card from China on ebay for the EVO 4G when I ugrade. Since you are the smartest, most informed person I do not know. What do you think about this purchase and the quality of a product that would $200+ in the states, but is $30 on ebay with free delivery.

About $99 at walmart. I just bought a battery from china and it sucks, sometimes it pays to spend a little more. Just my opinion

Thanks. Are you sure the 32GB card is 99.99, because I was at best buy and the 16GB card was 99.99. I do understand they are not wally world, but I just want to be sure. And, yes, I am a FIRM believer in "you get what you pay for".

I think there is some confusion here. You asked about an SD card. All phones require a microSD card. MicroSD cards are about 1/4 the size of a standard SD card. I believe dean was talking about the standard SD card as any 32GB microSD cards are around $200 & only a handful of manufacturers produce them. As far as buying from China, I'd be a little leary on that. Quite a few eBay sellers from China have bad feedback ratings due to poor merchandise quality.

That's a normal SD card Dean

"Verbatim 96871 32GB Premium Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) Card - Calss 6"
It would be the kind for a camera, not a phone sadly

Walmart is selling the 16gb versions for 60, so I am thinking the 32gb will be 150+ easy when they get it

Weird I don't know how I missed that especially since I was just at Walmart buying a 16gb from there last week. I remember when they used to be called transflash cards

I've ordered three different things from china (MP3 player, a hard drive, and a DVD boxed Set) of those, only the Hard drive was decent (ish)

Stuff in china that is made for the US isn't bad (or their "premium" brand stuff there) But typically if something is THAT much of a "bargin" there is a catch somewhere.

I'd say avoid it. Either get a 32 Kingston or something. or get a 16gb and wait for the 32's to drop in price. Seriously, with the streaming brought by 2.2 (and how HTC is promising you'll have it within 6 months) a huge card won't be as big of an issue imo.

I have a 16gb in my Droid and I only use like 1/2 of it (used 2/3 when I was lugging around movies to show off)

Stuff is marked up like crazy once you get to the U...

I love my music too. I just really love new music (as in, stuff I haven't heard before) so I stream via/slacker or pandora more than play.

I only have a dozen or so albums on the MicroSD card at any given time
