Since dev team suggests to use only SD card, at least the Class10 problem has been fixed ?
It is reported (and I can confirm it with my SD Class10) that N900 has timings problems with some Class 10.
And this can lead to access error, more lags and eventually even filesystem corruption
Maemo has a fix (workaround) for it, but until July MeeGo (and Nitroid) had not.
Now how is the situation ?

1. The class rating system is a lie. You cannot know what half-assed haxxery has been used to get the card reading/writing at 10MB/s. This makes them unreliable.
2. Class 10 ALWAYS comes at the expense of random read/writes. If you are reading media from a card, this is sequential (you may get your 10MB/s). If you are running an OS from a card, this is random (you will get a couple of KB/s at best). i.e. running an OS from an SD is an exercise in pain.
In conclusion, don't get a class 10, they suck donkey balls. Get a good branded class 4, they don't barf at random W/R.

32GB Sandisk Class 4 here. MeeGo boots fine. It's definitely a lot faster than the Summer release, but it's still not as snappy as Maemo.

Pls ... installing to emmc is not recommended right now. a micro sd card comes very cheap.. get it and try on it.
and the instructions are here only.. only if you would search :
EMMC Install
