Best battery life for a bluetooth bar none

Motorola 89422N H730 Bluetooth Headset

I've used a lot of different bluetooth headsets. I have had a bad habit of losing them (they're so small). I had been a devout user of the Motorola H17 for the past two years. In price to performance I thought it was the best bang for your buck. Recently though, I've had a hard time finding quality replacements and not refurbishments with crappy battery life. So, after ordering replacement after replacement and several returns I decided to try out the newer Motorola H730 due to the good reviews. Thankfully, I have not been disappointed.

Design/Comfort: 8/10
+ The H730 is a little large, heavier, and thus more conspicuous than the H17, but it's not as large or heavy as many of the Plantronics Voyager models I've used. Unlike the H17, the hook for the H730 fits comfortably around the ear and the device feels very snug. The speaker does not protrude and lies flat against your ear, but because it's made of plastic and there aren't any custom fitted gel pads for the device it can get uncomfortable at times during long rides (no worse than many over the ear headphones). Both, the H730 and H17 use a flip boom design to turn on the device and I'm big fan of that. Since, the H730 is noticeably larger than the H17 flipping the boom on the H730 to answer a call sometimes requires you to push the device slightly away from your face to open. It's not as seamless as it was using the H17 because the boom is longer. Either way, if you haven't used a flip boom headset before I think you'd prefer it.

Use: 9/10

+ Both, the H730 and H17 use a voice prompt notification system. It removes the guesswork and frustration of having to count blinking lights, beeps, or gauge whatever offish color the OEM uses to indicate the battery level. It tells you the level and which phone is connected whenever you flip the boom to turn on the device. It can get annoying at times if you're walking just outside the range for the connection and it keeps talking over and over. I've had this happen when paired with two devices that conflicted with each other. The range on the device is very good and in the top tier of BT headsets I've used. I easily achieve a range of about 20 feet in most circumstances. It can be more or less dependent on other external factors.

+ Noise cancellation is good, but not as good as it was for H17 because of the dual mic placement. I've rode with the down on the highway and once I rode with the top down inside a convertible going about 40MPH on non-windy day and I was still able to be understood using the H17. The H730 doesn't work as well with the windows rolled down if the wind is blowing too hard from a certain direction going 25MPH. The H730 doesn't do as good of a job blocking background noise, but it's still far better than those without any noise cancellation.

+ Battery life is where the H730 gets a huge nod over the H17 or any other bluetooth device I've ever used. The battery life is incredible for such a small device, thus small battery. The battery life is rated for up to 12 hours of talk time, and my bluetooth easily outlasts my phone for a change. The standby time is where it really excels. I expect that I get over 9 hours of actual talk time spread between 3-5 days throughout the week. and I only have to charge this once or twice a week talking on the phone about an hour a day. I've gone out of town for the good part of a week forgetting my BT and to close the boom (thus it was on the whole time). I came back and the battery was still on high and I had enough battery for several days.

Overall, I'd rate this a 9/10. For the price, I think it was an excellent purchase. Buyer beware of refurbished models, and I also learned from my mistakes of leaving my bluetooth in the car when it's very hot or cold and overcharging. These can dramatically affect performance and reduce the battery life. I just take it with me now and keep it in my pocket. This way it's easier to fall out and get lost so I have a reason to upgrade.

Hopefully, this review helps you. Thanks for reading.

Otterbox Defender for Samsung Galaxy S3 - Boom Purple

This Defender is the case and holster combination. Although the Galaxy S3 is already a fairly large smartphone, the Defender adds some additional bulk to the phone. My co-workers exclaimed that the S3 was already too big and they refused to consider the Otterbox Defender. However, I have fairly large hands and felt that if Samsung desired it, the S3 could be about half an inch larger in the screen and it would still fit my hand perfectly.

The Defender uses a polycarbonate chassis to secure the phone, and then a silicone wrap covers the chassis. The silicone is actually a very smooth surface that is not tacky/sticky so dust doesn't get attracted to the material. There are 2 flaps that cover the headphone port and USB port, but this is not a waterproof case.

The volume button is harder to use with the Defender, but the power button is not that bad. There is a 1/8" thick ledge that surrounds the screen for added impact protection, but this ledge also makes it harder to use the home button.

The dark purple silicone wrap and the lighter purple chassis looks high quality in person.

The built-in screen protector is not anti-glare, but it covers all of the S3's display leaving 2 holes for the home button, and the front facing camera, earpiece, and other visual sensors. I have heard rumors that grit/dirt trapped under the protector will scratch up the display. The glare isn't very bad, although it will be present.

Most docks won't work with the Defender, but I haven't had an issue with the USB charging cable. It even works with my universal smartphone car mount. The holster is very well made with a solid chassis and positively-clicking swivel. I don't like the kickstand design, it feels kind of flimsy but comes in handy. I think I impressed a co-worker when her dock could only keep her S3 mode upright, while my holster kickstand could allow the phone to be charged in landscape mode while I watched a movie.

With the holster on my belt, the S3 and Otterbox Defender feel HUGE. It can be cumbersome to wear and use, it feels like I am calling in an airstrike whenever I use the phone. But like I said before, my hands are large enough to grip the phone and use it one-handed without any problems. I normally wear size Large gloves (Mechanix, Alpinestars GP Pro motorcycle racing gloves) although Medium fits just as well.

Overall: 5/5 stars, outstanding craftsmanship, great reputation for customer service, probably the BEST holster/case combination for any smartphone. I would have bought one for my Droid2 if they made the Defender holster combo for that phone. If you have a Samsung Galaxy S3, I seriously recommend considering the Otterbox Defender. For the ladies that can toss the S3 in a purse, the Commuter or Incipio is probably a much better alternative. For the guys that use holsters, look no farther than the Otterbox Defender.

1700mAh Batteries Incredible Anker Multi purpose

Excellent product, I let one battery run in my phone while the other charged, when it died I swapped them out and did the same for a whole weekend. I am happy to say they last with everything running and I have a Rooted HTC Evo with 4 Roms running on a partitioned card, Bluetooth, GPS, 3 email programs with 30 second updates and after a week of running them dry and recharge they last all day. One battery will last on a normal work day using games and I forgot to include Facebook I get 13 hours.
I love that it charges all batteries and is both plug into the outlet, USB in or out so you can constantly charge but you won't need to, you now have 3 batteries. 1 piece of crap made to run a trickle charge so you need more accessories, and 2 that work excellent for half the price of one new or an additional charger. It shuts down when the battery is charged so you don't have to worry about over charging and losing battery life. I have a carry charger that you connect to the phone that makes it so you can take that last picture at Disneyland before it dies but that was $50.
Excellent product, better than any provider offers or the piece of crap that comes with the phone.
100% recommended especially if you are an outside sales rep who needs constant contact and not lose business because you missed that important call.

Cellphone PLAYSTATION Motorola BlackBerry AMM0101US

I have an iPad for which I was continuously cleaning smears from fingerprints on the touch-screen --- use of a stylus, instead of your finger, will reduce this problem. I added this purchase as a whim to another larger order from Amazon ... though the price was so low, I had low expectations - my friends said they paid much more for just a single stylus. Product ships from Hong Kong, so delivery takes a few days. Upon delivery, I was pleasantly surprised at how well made the product was --- the tip is the right size for working for the iPad, the foam tip is firm, and most important --- it works well on the iPad. Stylus is somewhat shorter in length than a normal pen/pencil ... but I like it because it makes it easier to carry in pockets, etc. ... and the length is still sufficient that it is easy to use. Best of all, since each stylus cost less than 50-cents, you don't worry about losing or misplacing them! I stick a few in my jacket pockets, briefcase, etc. so that I always can find one when I need it. I recommend this product to my friends as a outstanding buy!

Best Android phone of 2013 so far...

HTC ONE M7 Silver International

As the previous owner of the Galaxy S3, which up until recently was what many say was the best phone on the market, the HTC One makes all other phones seem outdated. If you are a avid news reader, sports fanatic, or social networker then the Blinkfeed home screen is for you. While many may find the Blinkfeed home screen a drawback because of not being able to remove it, it is very useful to have all of your updates for news, game scores, and social networks in one easily accessible place. The camera is by far the best camera in any phone I have owned. The front camera is incredible. Ever picture I have taken so far has been flawless. The speakers are loud and exactly what was described in the previews of this phone. If you have trouble hearing an alarm in the morning, this phone will definitely wake you up. This phone is available in 32gb and 64gb, if you use a lot of apps and put a lot of media in the phone,I recommend the 64gb. The HTC Sense Remote is my favorite feature on this phone. The set up takes only a few seconds and it works much better than my actual tv remote. The battery has lasted me two days without charge already. I constantly use the internet and text on this phone, with my Galaxy S3, the battery would die in a few hours. This phone is perfect for anyone on the go.

Pros: Camera, HTC BoomSound with Beats Audio, HTC Sense Remote, Battery Life, Large and Bright Screen

Cons: HTC Blinkfeed, Non-expandable memory, Non-removable battery

GMP10K GearPower Capacity Station Smartphones

Can't recommend this enough! Knowing I had a cross-country plane flight from GA to CA and a 10 hour, one-way bus ride to DC from GA chaperoning a field trip during the past month, I purchased this power station in preparation for my trips. Worth every dime. I used it continually on a 4+ hour plane flight to charge Droid Razr and Kindle Fire. Both were maxed out at full charges and used throughout the trip on inflight wi-fi and the charger still had days worth of juice to burn. Did the same during the day-long bus ride to DC. Again, both devices kept fully charged. Was on foot for hours a day, multiple days in DC walking the Mall, WH, Smithsonian museums, etc. constantly taking pics, video, texting pics, using the network on my Razr. Kept the unit in my back pocket or inside coat pocket to touch up my battery when needed. Again, worked like a charm. Personally, I don't think it's too heavy or cumbersome as some describe. It charges my phone as quickly as plugging it directly into the wall. While everyone on the bus trip was queuing up to charge their phones on the two outlets at the front of the bus, I could happily relax with fully charged devices. By the end of the trip, everyone wanted to know the name of the unit so they could buy one.

RooSport Magnetic Attachable Running Pocket

I bought this at the Philadelphia marathon expo. I was carrying 3 gu's with me during the race and I needed something to hold them. I looked at belts but they looked like they would bug me bobbing up and down like that. Then I found the roosport booth. I listened to the sales pitch and thought about it. It was kinda expensive at 20 dollars for a little pouch but it was well worth it! I was worried that this would move up and down when I ran but as long as I had only 3 gus in there and not 4 it was fine. I forgot I even had it on. It just goes right on your waistband and secures itself with a little magnet. The fabric is very comfortable. There is also a little zipper pouch for an id. I usually run with shorts with an id pouch in them but once its cold enough to wear leggings instead this will be perfect. You can put an ipod in there too. It has a little hole where your headphones can go through. I just held my ipod though. I always do. And I dont think it would have fit in there with the gels. One con was that the little velcro part came started to come off the day I bought it but I thought the velcro wasnt necessary anyway. It actually got in my way a little bit as I was trying to pull the gels out. So really its not a big deal. Im so glad roosport was at the Philly marathon. it made such a difference!

iSee Case Kickstand Holster EVODesign Kickstand

Okay I was expecting quality merchandise because of previous reviews and the fact that it was a thermos but this is ridiculous. When they say your beverage will stay warm they aren't kidding. I put my hot, hot (hotter than I would normally be able to drink it) tea in the thermos at 7:00 am and went to work. At 9:00 I took a sip and almost took the top of my mouth off. I left the lip open to cool it a bit and at 10:00 took another sip. Wow was that hot. I then took the top completely off and left it open. (I know, why didn't I put it in the cup. We are not allowed open cups near our computers. Leaving the lip off was pushing it enough and besides because of the thermos' size I wanted it for a travel mug). I figured with no top on it, it has to cool off. Well it didn't. By 3:00 it was manageable but still hotter than I would like. By the time I got home at 6:00 it was the right temp and that's with the lid off most of the day. I also want to say I drink tea with milk in it and other thermos type containers usually make the milk in the tea taste funny after a while. This did not (if you're a tea drinker you know what I mean). So what I recommend to anyone out there using this thermos. Put your beverage in at the temperature you want. It's not going to cool off on you. Believe me.

Just what I need while walking

Chums Sport Arm Band Case

The Chums Sport Armband Case accommodates most IPods, iPhone's, and Smart Phones. You can store your earbuds and cords in a separate pouch. The armband fits arms 9 inches to 17.5 inches and has a clear protective cover with reflective material for safety while walking in the dark. It is hand washable.

I like to take walks whenever I can and since I often walk alone I like to have a cell phone with me, not necessarily to use while walking just in case of an emergency such as if I fell and twisted my ankle (I'm a bit of a klutz). I don't like carrying my phone in my hands all the time and my pants don't always have pockets and when they do the pockets aren't always that deep and I am often afraid the phone will fall out. I was pleased to find the Chums Sport Armband Case. I don't have an iPhone but a LG Optimus Elite Prepaid Android Phone (Virgin Mobile)and the phone fits nice and snuggly in the case. In fact, it almost fits too snuggly - it can be a bit of a struggle to get in and out of the case. While I can't easily pull it in or out, I can use the touch functions on the phone while it is in the case and I am not afraid of the phone will fall out of the case. The side pouch for the earphones is a nice thought but it is also small so the earbuds will fit in but the cord dangles. This doesn't bother me since I don't listen to music while walking and don't carry ear buds but some might find it an inconvenience. The armband isadjustable - I have thin arms and it fits on my arm nice and snuggly and it never slips. At first I could feel the weight of my phone while wearing the armband but I quickly adjusted and don't notice it now.

I really like the Chums Sport Armband Case.

I have had a new Samsung Galaxy S3 for about a month without incident, but have been needing a case since purchase. I've handled a few other cases, but decided I wanted to try out a thinner and slimmer case for protection. I'm glad to say that this was EXACTLY what I wanted!

The case snaps onto the back of the phone fairly simply and firmly. Front protection afforded by the case is minimal, although it does provide a little raised lip so that setting the phone down on the face is now at least held off the table. I have no intention of dropping my phone to find out what happens, but it appears that any impact on the sides, back, or even corners will have more protection. I also think the little holes add a nice texture to the phone that simulates a softer material, and have been much more confident in holding the phone and using it while in motion. I may have to wait until a really bad drop to know how well this ultimately works for protection, but I can wait.

I would highly recommend this case to anyone with a Samsung Galaxy S3. At the cost you are not out much if you decide you need a different model, and I think it's one of the better cases out so far!

It works

Samsung Standard Power Charger CAD300UBEB

Samsung put some thought into the design of its car battery charger. Many poorly designed chargers overheat, and they can also cause the battery to overheat, which is the reason many batteries fail to properly hold a charge.

Samsung designed this car charger to not activate until after the phone is attached, so you can keep the charger plugged in at all times without it getting hot. A green light tells you when the phone is being charged. The next "smart" design feature is that the charger provides a fairly rapid charge until the battery reaches about an 80% charge, and then it provides a slow "trickle" charge to slowly take the battery to 100%. That prevents overheating the battery and shortening its life.

However, because of that slow "trickle" charge feature, it is possible for the battery to actually LOSE some of its charge under high drain conditions. For example, if you have a 95% charge, and are using 3G, GPS satellite location, and Google maps, your charge will slowly sink toward about 80%, as those features drain the battery rapidly.

The battery charge is likely to stabilize in the 80% range, and will begin to go up when 3G, the GPS satellite locator, and Google Maps are turned off. And use your task manager to make sure they are REALLY off, and not still running in the background, killing your battery).

Some folks use their car charger for hours each day. A charger used 30 hours a week is going to fail a lot sooner than chargers used one or two hours a week. At Amazon's low price, heavy users should consider buying a couple of the Samsung chargers, and keeping a spare on hand.

OtterBox 77 24082 Commuter Series Windows

Dropped my very new Windows Phone 8x on a tile surface not 30 days after getting it from Verizon. I had a case pushed by the Verizon salesguy. I'm not sure if having it in the case did it more damage than if it was unprotected. The crystal shattered. The case was completely worthless. One new phone later, I decided to invest in the OtterBox. 45 days later, my Windows Phone 8x fell out of my coat pocket and fell on a concrete floor at Target Field. No cracked crystal, no damage to the body of the phone, not even a scratch on the Otterbox. I'm completely sold.

I read the other reviews before buying this. Yes, you give up a little bit of slimness that makes the Windows Phone 8x cool, but you can still slip the Otterbox covered phone in your pants pocket without noticing it too much. At this point, I don't care. The Windows Phone 8x is a nice phone, but I get the vibe that it's a bit fragile (my last phone was a Droid 4, which was huge and generally indestructible). I really don't want to keep spending $100 for the deductible. The Otterbox seems to solve this problem. Recommended.

LG Optimus Showtime L86C L86G

To begin, Anker gave me this product in exchange for my honest feedback.

I now have several external battery packs from various manufacturers to power my electronics on the go when I do not have the place to charge them with a wall charger. Along with this new Anker 4500 mAh pack, some of the packs I own include another manufacturer's 12000 and 6000 mAh packs. The 12000 mAh was very bulky and heavy, as you can imagine, and I ended up not carrying this around in my backpack at all, and as a result, I usually carry the 6000 mAh pack around. Ever since I received the Anker 4500 mAh pack, I have even replaced the 6000 mAh pack.

The Anker Astro Slim2 battery is packaged attractively in a clear shell that includes an accessories pouch and the pack itself. The pack itself is a matte rubberized black, a nice change to the glossy plastic of my other packs that scratch easily. It is well built and seems rugged enough to take the punishment should you happen to drop the pack.

The Anker Astro Slim2 4500 mAh pack is extremely thin, even thinner than my Galaxy S3! The Anker pack is probably 1/2 the thickness of my 6000 mAh pack and I don't even have to carry it in the backpack anymore. It is really lightweight and I don't even notice if I put both the phone and pack in the same pocket. The tethered microUSB cord is an extremely smart thought, as I also don't have to carry and coil my microUSB cable anymore. The Anker pack has just saved so much space and weight.

Even though it is rated at 4500 mAh, I have been able to fully charge my S3 twice, and almost 80% on a third, and that is plenty enough for me. The pack itself charges quickly from any standard microUSB charger that you should have lying around, showing you the current level of charge on four white LEDs.

All in all, this is a great product and should be an essential addition to any tech-savvy individual!

My only issue is that my package was handed off from Fedex to the USPS for delivery.

Batteries Battery Pack 3200mAh capacity

This thing is pretty nice. I've had it for a couple months but only used it to charge my phone like 4 times. It charges just as fast as the wall. It takes awhile for itself to charge from the wall, but doesn't seem to be any longer than it would take to charge the iphone as many charges as this thing can hold. The only thing I can complain about is that they designed it to charge with its own unique little plug, and not only that but its own plug requires an adapter piece which it comes with, just to charge itself. So that is annoying and pure silliness that they didn't design it to charge from usb, which is why I subtract 1 star. The reason I bought this is for some reason NONE of the car chargers I have purchased (4 of them) will charge my iphone. My cig lighter works fine so I don't know why car chargers just won't work. But now I take this with me on the go when I know my phone will need a charge, like if I'm travelling, or if my phone is about to die and I sQCellly must go somewhere. It's beautiful, sQCellle, feels good to hold, and has a laser and a LED. The LED is not very bright, I would say about as bright as a keychain LED, if that. The laser is just like any laser. While I do recommend this product, since it does charge my Iphone 4s 2.5 full charges, with its 6000mAh powercell, I would also mention that recently I have noticed products with the same amount of powercell for a few dollars cheaper on Amazon so you may want to look around before deciding, that is if you care about a few dollars like I do.

Premium Charger Adapter TMobile Concord

The Wilson DT Booster works better than I expected.

I'm 12+ miles from tower, gently rolling wooded hills of SE Missouri. There is a large fully leafed walnut tree directly between my 2nd floor outside mount antenna and cell tower, and a steady rain was falling during the first evening of tests. The normal signal for my Verizon Palm Pixi is 1x-intermittent 1 to 2 bars, and intermittent 3G- mostly 0 to 1 bar. Rarely was I able to get greater than 100K.

---PRO---
With the booster, I had to adjust the outside antenna a little to get best signal. Green light stays on all the time, very rarely blinked orange. Now I get 5 bars 1x and mostly 5 bars 3G!!! Speed test at [...] ranged from 200K to 460K, I'm really happy with that. (Using Palm Mobile 3G hotspot.) Pages load fast. During the same test time,(peak evening hours), my 1 Meg Wild Blue connection was testing about 350 to 450K. I'll try some more tests later during clear weather, but I expect even better performance then.

I noticed from previous reviews to follow antenna placement instructions for best performance, that is very important. And you'll have to keep your cell phone well within the 15 foot inside range, unless you want to fork over another $110+ for a more powerful inside panel antenna upgrade.

The 30 day satisfaction guarantee was a good incentive to give it a try.

---CON---
Other reviewers are correct, the light plastic housing is disappointing. I'll have to build a protective housing for the outside antenna.

The cable connection on back of the indoor amplifier gets quite hot, or maybe the circuit board itself gets hot. I don't like that, I may have to find a fan to help move the heat away.

For $231, it is a reasonable deal, and it does perform very well. I'll have to give it 5 stars. If a more substantial unit is desired, then Wilson products pricing and performance is commensurate.

Shipping.... not really part of a product review, but Amazon next day shipping had the product delivered to me in 26 hours, impressive.

Wilson Electronics Signal Booster Office

The Wilson DT Booster works better than I expected.

I'm 12+ miles from tower, gently rolling wooded hills of SE Missouri. There is a large fully leafed walnut tree directly between my 2nd floor outside mount antenna and cell tower, and a steady rain was falling during the first evening of tests. The normal signal for my Verizon Palm Pixi is 1x-intermittent 1 to 2 bars, and intermittent 3G- mostly 0 to 1 bar. Rarely was I able to get greater than 100K.

Caramel Tri tone Everyday Leatherette Shoulder

These fit my EVO perfectly, have a matte, smudge-resistant finish, and are easy to apply- with one exception. Your screen covers are each sandwiched between 2 protective sheets of plastic. There is a soft inner plastic to protect the glue side, and a stiff outer cover to keep it flat and make it easier to apply. Both covers must be removed during application. It is easy to mistake the stiff, outer plastic as the screen protector and leave it on. If you do that, you'll have a screen protector that is semi-gloss, mostly smudge- resistant, and a hair too large. You have to use the 2nd tab to peel that cover off to reveal the thin, matte, well-fitting, smudge-proof screen cover.

That outer plastic cover explains why some reviewers think these aren't matte finish, or they're too large or hard to apply. There are no diagrams or instructions to explain this, and it's an easy mistake to make.

The ones I have are stiff and can't be applied with waves in them. It' would be hard to even trap an air bubble. I ordered from eTech.

Great Cordless System

Panasonic KX TG7743S Bluetooth Cordless Answering

There is one killer feature on this phone that has literally made this phone worth every penny you can pay for it. I was paying $15 a month for a simple land line in my house. Not anymore. The Link-to-Cell feature on this phone is so rock-solid that I killed it. I just set my phone next to the handset and start taking calls on the land line. It even seems that the cellular calls have better stability because the cellular device is not moving around my house that has iffy reception. The setup was a little complicated, I definitely wouldn't consider this if you don't have a lot of patience with manuals or aren't techno-savvy.

This thing is jam-packed with other features. I didn't do so much with the land lines, such as using the voicemail system. Other things I did try though all worked to spec. Speakerphone is great, sound quality is terrific, range on the handsets covers my 1/5 acre lot without issue, I really like the larger dialing buttons. It's a well-designed set that I would recommend to anyone that hasn't completely gotten rid of their land line yet or maybe someone who might think about doing it after linking your cellphone to something like this.

I am so happy i found this 3 piece set! Also the price was great. Honestly i think it is worth way much more! I would purchase this again if n e thing happened to it.

Nokia Battery BP 6MT 6720 classic

I bought this phone to be a simple, easy to use phone to replace a slider with a menu that was difficult to navigate. You don't have to use the SIM card for the prepaid plan that comes in the package. I just took the old SIM card out of the old cell phone and put it into this new phone, and that was all it took to switch the service for the old cell phone number to this phone.
Something awesome that discovered is that is phone changes on a standard microUSB cable, so if you already have a Kindle charger, it will work for this phone also!
It was very easy to add items to the "Go To" menu for quick access to make it silent and to check voicemail.
The only thing I don't like about this phone is that it doesn't have a screen on the outside. When a call comes in, you have to open the phone to see who is calling. Not much of an issue for me. It does have a default setting that when you open the phone during an incoming call, you can choose to answer or decline the call. It does not automatically answer when you open it.
Nice compact phone that slides easily into pocket or purse! I have been very happy with it!

Nice little sound-meter for fiddling with

GSI Quality Handheld Digital Frequencies

I purchased a SanDisk 32 GB microSDHC Flash Memory Card SDSDQM-032G nearly two months ago, for use in my VIZIO 8-Inch Tablet VTAB1008. At the same time, I also purchased a higher-priced PNY 32 GB microSDHC Card (P-SDU32G10-EFS2) which is supposed to be a 'class-10'. My benchmark results, however, show that the Sandisk class-4 card is actually faster - most of the time.

I used two sets of benchmark programs. One is called 'Flash Memory Toolkit v2.0', which measures the random read/write speed of files between 1MB and 15MB. The other one is called 'H2testw v1.4', which measures the sequential read/write speed using 1GB files. Here are my results: (see my uploaded charts in 'Customer Images' section for details)

- For smaller files (1-5MB), the Sandisk class-4 card gives an amazing write speed of 15-17MB/s, while the PNY 'class-10' card can only get 1-6MB/s

- For larger files (10-15MB), the Sandisk and PNY cards are about equal at around 8MB/s for write

- For huge files (1GB), the PNY did better at 9.5MB/S, while the Sandisk dropped to 5.5MB/s

- The read speeds of both cards are equally high at around 18MB/S (this number may be limited by the maximum speed of my card reader used)

What the above shows is that: When used in a typical digital camera (with file size 3-5MB), this Sandisk 'class-4' card is at least twice as fast as the PNY so-called 'class-10' card. But when used in a HD video camera (sequential writing of huge file), then the PNY card should perform better.

For a card to be marketed as a 'class-10', it must maintain a MINIMUM write speed of 10MB/s. So by this definition, the PNY card does not qualify since it cannot even achieve a MAXIMUM write speed of 10MB/s. This Sandisk card, on the other hand, exceeds the requirement of 'class-4' by a huge margin.

Sandisk seems to be the only flash memeory manufacturer that still gives honest, conservative speed class ratings. Any other manufacturers would have labeled this card a 'class-6' or even higher. As a matter of principle, I rather give my money to a company that promises less but delivers more, instead of to others that do the opposite. At the present cost of about 1 buck per GB, this is an unbeatable deal!

[Aside]
The capacity of this card, as reported by my computer, is only 29.7GB. Note that this is actually normal, because compter people define one 'Giga' as '2 to the power 30', which is 7.4% greater than 1 billion. So 29.7GB comes to just about 32 billion bytes, which is '32GB' according to marketing people.

[Update Dec 3, 2011]
I re-tested the two cards above, using the CrystalDiskMark v3.01. The results are consistent with my previous finding. See my newly uploaded charts in 'Customer Images' for details.
