I'm using a 4Gb class 2 that came with another Nokia I recently bought. A bit slow with the pictures (I have a few hundred of them). But so far no other problems.

I heard Toshiba makes good memory devices. And class 4 (speed) should be sufficient for mobilephone use.

I've got Kingston and Sandisk uSD cards. If you plan to run Meego then go for the fastest card you can afford.

I think this is a great deal from Amazon.com (too bad I couldn't get it delivered).

I'm not sure who is the OEM for "Nokia" micro SDs. But 8Gb class 6 at USD18 should be really worth it!

Can N900 benefit if the card is "class 6" vs "class 4"?

Do not buy a mini SD card - you need a micro SD card!

(see title of this thread!)

This class 6 micro SD (from Amazon) is selling for only USD18. I think other class 4 is probably selling for more than that. Your N900 will definitely benefit (cost advantage) with a faster write speed micro SD. Though I'm not sure about the N900 write speed (functionality benefit).

The Speed Classes define three minimum sustained write speeds in next generation SD Cards. Class 2 supports a minimum write speed of 2 megabytes (MB) per second*; Class 4 supports 4MB per second; and Class 6 supports 6MB per second. The SD Speed Class is shown as a "C" with a numeral inside, on the card and its packaging, above and to the right of the capacity rating.

Edit: The threads here have been referring to micro SD. Thanks Petur.

just bought an Adata 16gb class 10 for 474rb (~50usd) in jakarta.
Adata has a reputation of being very reliably unreliable,
we shall see....

I don't understand... if it has a reputation of being very reliably unreliable, why did you pay USD 50 for the darn thing? You can't get Amazon to ship to you too? At least get Toshiba, or Kingston, or Patriot.
