What is the word on these cards and speed requirements? Will I curse the fact I have a Class 6 instead of 10? I wish I knew I was getting the S3 when Best Buy had the Class 10 on sale.

You know, for what most of us are going to do with this storage i.e. store music, pictures and video, I don't think it will make a huge difference other than the ability to write that data to the card faster. I went ahead and got one... Worst case is I will pass it on to the wife (who will never use more than 5G lol) if something better comes along.

I want to find a good deal for a 64gb that's class 10. Think it'll be better for video and pictures.

I don't know. This Tom's Hardware test from last fall showed the "Class 4" Sandisk Mobile Ultra performing like a Class 10. This might be worth grabbing.

That's why they called it a lightning deal. Was only available until noon. sorry you missed it. I was going to wait and order a class 10, but decided to order this one. Knew I wanted sandisk.

Everything I've read says the phone only takes a memory card up to 32GB. Has it been confirmed you can use a 64GB card with the SIII?

Considering that the only memory card that goes up to 64GB is the SDXC, I'd say it's a safe bet this phone supports it, unless Samsung has just made a lot of major typos.

All said, while the class 6 is tempting at $49.99, the class 10 is $90 and I'm a class 10 man so I'll be grabbing that one. I never swap memory cards so getting 2-class 6's for almost the same price as 1 class 10 is not a bother for me. Besides, who will swap a 64gb memory card on a phone? Maybe .000000000000001% of us.

Thanks for clearing that up!! Not sure what or where I was reading that said 32GB max, everything I've gone back to today says 64GB.
