Pros: Got it for a great price. Transfer speeds are good enough for your phone. Works great in a SGH-A877 Samsung Impression and a Blackberry curve 8330.
the price was so right that i bought the second one and gave it to my cousin for his blackberry because you cant take video without it, or hold many mp3s.
plus it comes with the sd card adapter so you can hook it up to the pc easier.
I trust Kingston, thats why i got it.
It's amazing how much you can fit on something smaller than your thumbnail. I remember when i paid $100 for a 1GB stick. then i lost it. this is smaller, but it stays in my phone 99% of the time, so theres no losing it.
i did lose it once, but i found it on the floor. you probably wont hear it hit the floor.

Cons: No cons. The usual with storage devices. A true 8 gigs would be 8192 mb. subtract 192 for each metric conversion, from gb to mb to kb i guess, then you come up with about as much as it registers. 7,581 Mb. So if the hard drive and data storage people were to switch from fake math or metric to the math that is actually used with computer storage, then this is Technically a 7.4 Gb card.
No biggie. it still holds alot. i just had to leave some stuff out when i had selected about 8 gigs of music to put on it.
its not like you are going to find an 8 gig anything that actually holds the full 8 gigs, so this is totally worth it.

Other Thoughts: This has expanded my Samsung Impression's music library so much that it takes me a few minutes to get to the bottom of the list. that is samsungs problem for not implementing the alphabetical slider used for the contact list into the music library.
good luck ever filling it up if you are using Bluetooth as your only means of data transfer. i tried to transfer 3000 songs from my phone to computer, woke up the next morning, it was down 2 battery cells and only 300 songs had copied. so i hooked it up to usb and got the blaZing fast transfer speeds that i am used to.
i dont remember what actual transfer speeds i get with this. it's much faster than bluetooth though. so i only use BT for small groups of songs and videos. if i want to backup, i pop it out and put it in the card reader, or i can use my phone as a usb mass storage device.

Pros: This card performs very well. The card is rated "Class 4" which means it should reach a minimum write speed of 4 MB/sec when blank (i.e., no fragmentation). I am able to copy files to this card at over 10 MB/sec, so it's working at 2.5 times its rating. Very pleased.

Cons: None
