    I got a Duracell MicroSD 4 GB at Best Buy for $10 (Canada). Works very well on my Bold (OS 4.6 and 5.0). It comes with a USB adapter but it does not work with 4GB cards.

    It would hold a lot, and i usually stick with class 6 Sd cards as well.

    The 32 GB isn't available yet but should be sometime this year. As of right now, the highest available is the 16 GB. As for how much it holds, I have two 16 GB cards. One is full with 13 movies and another almost full with 4355 songs and 28 pictures.

    If you were to watch an entire movie, how much battery would be used?

    I've got a 2gb and it works fine for music and videos. But if I have a lot of photos it takes forever to load them up. So I try to keep them to a minimun. It could be my outdate OS 4.2.2.170. Also not too worried about size. I can always use more for my digital camera, Sansa media player, etc. =8')

    Why are class 6 SD cards your preferred choice of card?

    seems to be the higher the class the faster the card

    I think the classes are 2, 4, and 6. Maybe more. But most use a higher class anyways, but mainly for music and videos. Just pics a 2 would be ok. But you can usually find deals on the class 6.

    I've watched a full 2-1/2 hr movie before and only lost about 10% of my battery. There are other times that I've lost more but that was because I had other apps running in the background.

    I've used class 2, 4 and 6 microsd cards in my storm and didn't notice any big difference in performance. The only time that I saw a big difference was when using mass storage mode to transfer files to and from the media card.
