Do I need 16GB microsdhc Class 2 or Class 4 to record video?
Does anybody here have first hand experience using a 16GB microsdhc card recording video on an N86 or equiv? I am wondering if it is really necessary to pay double for a class 4 or class 6 card to do this. I currently have a class 4 8GB one and it works great. Any help?

I need to expand, that is why I am upgrading. I have seen a couple class 6 cards, but aren't really that familiar with the brand. I would much rather spend a little more to have a card that is a little higher quality. Do you have first hand experience with any class 6 16GB cards?

I thought the ONLY differences between the "classes" is the data transfer speed between the device is whatever it is connected to, almost nothing to do with reliability and stability on the device itself. Can anybody deny/confirm?

that is all I have ever heard too. actually you can take it a step further, much like CPUs, some will go just as fast as the higher ratings, the rating is just the minimum guaranteed speed

I am using an 8gb class 2 sandisk with E71 for over 5 months and all is fine. Only problem was when I downloaded via bittorent. It erased stuff. That was caused by the program not the card.

I guess I should be clarifying, I will be using this phone HEAVILY. I use it as my primary mp3 player, camera and video recorder. Every time I open my gallery or music player it will probably take FOREVER, I want to avoid this. I understand the differences, I am just wondering if people have had FIRST HAND experience using a 16GB card, NOT an 8GB one cause I already have one.
