I didn't know it, but nokia produces itself microSD cards. 16gb version for 58 EUR.

But Class 2 only! (See photo.) I would not buy one.

Class 2 is not that much slower. It refers to write speed only and I get 7-8Mb/s on a 16Gb from sandisk though it is marked "class 2". It reads faster than my class 6 8GB cards. For my camera (to save the hi-rez jpegs fast so I take another picture quickly) I have a class 6 in there, but in my tablet where I only occasionally add something (and the network is far slower than the SDHC), the extra space is more handy. And I still can insert it into a high-speed usb reader.

Nokia's *SD cards are always far too expensive compared to other (class A) brands. They're probably rebranded anyway.

From Sandisk I see 16 GB microSD (class 2), with SD adapter, sold for 43 EUR on eBay Germany.

You might need SDHC Linux kernel patch as well.

Well, the Nokia cards are ok, but Sandisk has some Class 6 64/128/256gb MicroSD's coming down the line thanks in part to recent developments via the SD working group.
