Where did you get the card reader from? Looking for one and its ~600 on ebay.

@Migician

Thank you... ... Try to get a class 10 card for your wave, as i sometime had problems recording HD clips on wave due to the slow write speed on the class 4 microsd. The video used to stutter at an interval of 30 -40 seconds.

@medpal

Thank you...

@adityamunshi

Amazon.com . Asked a friend to get it from US.

bro how much read & write speed do you get from this card i have read some reviews on newegg they are saying it`s not up to the mark of class 10.

thanks

 

[arpan]

^^ The write speed while transferring movies is 6-8 Mb/s, which is very good + the phone feels really fast whenever its reading , moving or deleting stuff from the card. I would suggest you to get a decent card reader though for copying stuff from computer. The primary reason i purchased it was for the HD recording on my wave.

bro i am currently using kingston 8gb class 4 card i am getting 3-5mbps when i transfer through mass storage mode & i get 6-8mbps when i transfer data through card reader didn`t you expect more from a class 10 card but as far as you getting decent performance form this card it`s worth buying thanks for replying.

 

[arpan]

^^I am getting 6 to 8 mb write speed through mass storage mode.. haven't tried the microsd in the card reader yet, but i am sure the write speed would be higher. Even i was using an 8gb class 4 card which was comparatively slow. I could feel the difference in the phone's speed when i popped the class 10 card in my wave.
