    Have one. Works good, although I cannot say I notice much if any difference from my class 4. I did alot of research and concluded it would be better and in theory it should be but I have not been able to physically notice a difference.

    If you have a chance to upgrade to 32gig, do so.. but it doesn't make any noticeable difference in speed whether it's class 10 or class 4.

    I can't see why the transfer rate would make a difference being that it's internal to the device. However a quick check on Amazon it doesn't look like there's much of a cost difference between the two.

    Thanks for all the input. At least I know that a class 10 works on the phone.

    Will probably research more if there is indeed a difference bet class 4 and a 10. .

    I do have a Samsung 32 GB class 10 card in mine works like a charm (bought from Ebay for 50 bucks or so).

    Difference between a class 4 and a class 10 is speed.

    You will notice during file transfers (read/write) if you use the BB as a big USB key.

    This is also the kind on things you can notice on reflexes with huge images.

    But for the internal use, I suppose there should not be much difference.

    Cheers.

    Main difference is going to be using it with HD video or with reading/writing files (as posted above)....I got the 32GB class class 4 card since I don't plan on using the work bb for HD video...but if you do, you want to get the higher class cards.

    Tbh, the BB does not take 'big' enough pictures to notice any difference I am afraid.

    There might be some difference on making HD video as being mentionned by kazmi.

    Aside that and the file transferts (if using the BB as a huge usb key), there wont be much difference on daily use.

    I also want to stress for me there was almost no price difference between the two, so I was like, why not take the best out of the two?

    And sorry I cannot really test with a class 4 because I dont have any

    Cheers.

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm just curious what in the world you would need a 32 GB card for. I have so much stuff on my 16GB that even I don't know what all is on there and I still 10+GBs free. The storage card includes mostly songs (about 4GB) and hundreds of pictures that I've stored. I use my 9810 for business and nearly everything gets stored on the media card; and I also have 6.2GBs of internal storage that's free. I admit that I don't store many videos, but I do run a lot of apps, including a lot of doc to go stuff that is stored . That said, I'm just curious what you would need that much space for? Thanks and

    I have a 32GB Class 10 card in my 9900. Works well so far, I noticed it's a bit faster than a Class 4 at copying content to and from the device, but on the device itself there isn't any difference.

    That's expected, as a computer sees 1GB as 2^30 bytes (~1.074GB), where as manufactures treat 1GB as 10^9 bytes (1.000GB), this results in a loss of ~74MB in capacity per GB.

    I sync mine with iTunes, store podcasts and have videos/pics of the kids.
    Here is the run down of my card...
    Total Storage 29.7 GB
    Music 36% 10.8 GB
    Voice Notes <1% 2.7 MB
    Pictures <1% 71.2 MB
    Videos 1% 357.9 MB
    Podcasts 1% 606.7 MB
    Documents <1% 65.4 MB
    Other 4% 1.4 GB
    Free 55% 16.3 GB

    Yeah, I more or less knew that! My humour kind of backfired...as I should have said that it's way more capacity than I'll ever use on a phone! So far, I've had the card since January and stored maybe 1/2 GB of pictures and documents on it!

    Don't want to get off topic but I wish the Playbook had an SD card slot though.

    Any any brands of the 32 gb class 10 better than any others in terms of long-term reliability?

    What is a reasonable price to pay in the USA?\

    Many thanks.
