Micro SD cards

Im currently shopping for a 16GB but not sure if I should shell out the extra dough for the "Ultra" which has a higher minimum read/write speed. What do you use?

If the difference is only a couple bucks get the faster one. But I too just get whatever is cheapest.

Faster may be good if you are taking a lot of video.

Yes... If it's video, then the ultras are needed. But considering it's a cell phone, the video quality likely does not require a class 4 or higher SD card.

FWIW, I just bought a HD camcorder, shoots in 1920x1080, that requires class 4 or higher, which is the ultra II stuff you're referring to.

Save your money.
