Ordered the 32 card from Verizon on Friday and received it yesterday, Monday.

Works well on the Droid and seems a bit faster than the original 16gb card. Maybe my original card was becoming "iffy."

Was anyone billed at that $49 price for the 32 Gb? Mine was $75 with company discount.

I was billed at $49 and received my card yesterday. It works fine.

Is it a safe bet this card will be compatible with newer phones out later in the year (thinking Droid Pro)?

I don't see why not, but perhaps a Droid Pro would better harness a faster class SD card.

Just debating if I want to do this since $75-$100 is still a bit steep if I plan to upgrade my phone in 6 months and the card isn't compatible to swap out.

For what it's worth, I'm copying over the data from my 16GB card in the Droid to the 32GB card plugged into my machine using the USB adapter and I am seeing sustained write speeds of slightly over 5MB/s.

That's about what I saw as well.

LOL...."out of stock" on VZW's website.


Yeah, looking back I should have bought the maximum three that they allow when I had the chance at $49.99 a peice and finally made a profit off of Verizon
