Default Which memory card should I get for mynew Bold 9900

Hey guys!
I just got the Blackberry Bold 9900 (AT&T) and I want to increase my memory to 32GB. Im not sure which memory card to get. Im hearing about the SanDisk 32GB microSDHC Card (Class 4). I will be using the external memory for HD video and APPs. Should I get that one or is there a better one out there. Also will Class 4 be enough for my requirements or should I look for something higher.
Thanks
PS: Im sorry if Im asking a question already asked here in the forum. I couldn't find an answer.

Thats the one I use in my 9650 and I haven't had any problems. When it comes to memory on any of my devices I tend to buy as much as I can afford. Its better to have and not need than to need and not have

That should be fine for your uses, except for the apps part. Apps do not get stored on the memory nor in device memory, only in system. Some apps do allow for settings to be saved to a memory card, and the space requirement is negligible.

I would also warn you not to buy any microSD cards from eBay. There are many fakes being sold there. Beware of fake 32gb micro sd card on ebay!!!!!!: Community Help Boards: eBay Discussion Boards

Try a reputable site such as TigerDirect.com on Newegg.com.

Personally I like to stick to brand names I know and have used before and get them from Amazon in the largest size I can afford. You can generally get good deals from Amazon. I use a 32gb Sandisk myself(SDHC) by the way.

Sandisk is a good brand. Like the person above said, avoid ebay.
if the price difference isn't too great, i'd go to a class 6. you'll get faster transfer rates. but for what you're describing, a class 4 should be OK.

Just avoid off brands and try to stick with sandisk and kingston class 6. Or you can end up like me with hundreds of pictures lost

Great advice! I got taken for a knockoff memory on Ebay. Punk *** lived in Nebraska and I was so pissed I was considering traveling there and setting things right.

Thanks for all the help guys. Though I prefer Sandisk, I might have to settle for a Kingston since the price is lower. Will get a class 6 from Best Buy.
