First off, let me say this product works as described, having 16GB worth of storage is great, I put my entire unprotected music library on it (Amazon MP3s and iTunes Plus AACs without DRM) so that I could use it on my Blackberry Bold cellphone and skip the iPhone. Music and video stream just fine off of it. Class 2 SDHC cards run at minimum 2MB/s and I doubt you'll run into any instances where you won't be able to play media files off it.

Make sure your cell phone device can support 16GB micro SDHC cards before buying, some can't. Most card readers should be able to handle it as it comes with an SD adapter and I had no problem writing to it with my old Sony multi-card reader I got a couple years ago.

That being said, Class 2 is slower than I'd prefer for transferring large files back and forth (for small files like documents you'll hardly notice). If they had a Class 4 16GB available I would have paid a little extra for it, but Class 2 was the only thing available. If you plan on just copying over music once in a while, this shouldn't be much of an issue. But if you are constantly moving video files, it can get annoying.

If I could go back, I'd get a Kingston 8GB Class 4 (4MB/s) micro SDHC for half the price and half the wait, at least until they release a faster 16GB card.

When I bought this I wasn't paying attention. I saw the great price and added it to my cart. It was my mistake and not the card's fault. The card itself works as it should.

So just to point out, in case you are like me, this is a class 2 card. Class 2 is very slow. Copying 15GB of data to this you need to leave it, go to sleep, get up and go to work and come home. This is using a good quality (sandisk) USB 2.0 card reader. This speed is also evident on my phones.

I have since replaced this with a class 6 card and recommend it instead.

I used two of these in a Sony Memory Stick Duo Pro adapter in my PSP and it works great. I can now store a bunch of movies.

This was my first time shopping with this vendor, and I was very pleased. I received my memory card quickly, well packaged and it was better than I expected!! Thank you!!

I bought this card to expand the storage on my Sansa Clip+ mp3 player. Class 2 is not a factor when playing music files, although it did take about an hour and a half to load 16G worth of mp3 files on board. No biggie, since I only have to do it once.

Overall, I'm happy with it. It turned my 8G music player into a 24G music player instantly. Well worth the price.

For the guy that bought the phony card, that's getting pretty common on the 'net these days. I specifically paid a few bucks more and ordered direct from Amazon to avoid just that scenario. Independent sellers seem to be the most common source of phonies.

I've been massively using this microSDHC 16Gb card in the last 2 months in a BB8900 and it works just the way it should. The Class 2 speed is perfectly acceptable, it takes less than 1 sec to save a ~1Mb sized picture taken with the BB. The adapter works well too. I'm pretty satisfied with the product.

Please note that these larger-capacity cards are SDHC, not the older style SD. This means that not every device or reader can use it properly. Make sure your device or you card reader can read SDHC. If it doesn't say so explicitly, it probably only supports SD. Read the manual.

I am using mine in a Samsung Rogue phone to hold my music collection, where it works great. However, the card reader slot in my older Dell monitor only supports SD cards, so it can't read/write to the card properly. I had to put the card in the phone and use the phone's "mass storage" menu setting and a USB cable to load the card up with music.

Received this item from bigfootaccessories as a gift. The card had been reprogrammed to report its capacity as 16GB, when it is in fact an 8GB card. Windows reports the card as having a capacity of 16GB, but it will only hold 8GB. Once more than 8GB is added to the card, some files are corrupted and overwritten. This is a common, well-documented issue, so bigfootaccessories should be aware of this. This seller is selling illegal cards.
