Hey guys. With many of us starting to get our N900's, thought I would post a thread for memory card deals, especially with Black Friday coming here the the US. So anyone find anything good so far. I'm looking for some 16gb cards.

Err I believe MicroSDHC is what the n900 only accepts.

As long as it is:
a.) a micro-sd card
b.) not a fake (knock-off will work, but if it's a pretend card, then no)
Then it will work.
* higher class number, faster minimum write speeds.
* capacity is limited by only what you can buy/find
Too bad you suckers can't use one of these:
memory card slot under the battery, ha!
Your mileage will vary as far as brands go but in my experience:
Transcend>Kingston>Sandisk*>A Data
*sandisk are better if you spring for their might-as-well-be-dipped-in-gold prosumer cards

Really? I place Transcend and A Data on the bottom of that list. Well not sure about Transcend (haven't heard good things) and I've had problems with A-Data.

It has to do more with read and write speeds. But from what I've been reading recently Class doesn't mean as much as it use to. Class is a standard for sustained read/write speeds so its possible that lower class cards can reach higher write/read speeds (but not sustain them).
Edit: Reviews are mixed about its speed. Everyone agrees that it's slow when writing to the card but they differ on reading.
