Ok, guys.
If you're looking for a MicroSD card with high storage capacity... I've got you a bargain.
Here's my review for the Kingmax 16GB (Class 10) MicroSD card.

Out of the box…

The MicroSD card was sent in a small envelope, with bubble foil on the inside. Small enough to fit through the mail-box, and also small enough to pass through the customs without any issues.

I opened the package and see the carton container for the Micro-SD card, it seems like it survived the long way to Belgium very well. The carton seemed a little sticky, like there was glue spilt over it. Also it had some creases, not that handy if you want to stall it out in a store.

Next, I opened up the carton container, which was not that easy, and saw the micro-SD and adapter. Just like advertised. At the back of the carton were usage instructions (there isn’t much to understand), but nevertheless they were easy to understand.
The card itself contained markings of the brand (Kingmax), the capacity (16GB) and the speed (class 10).

Then I connected them up to my pc (using the SD-card adapter which was delivered with the card), running Windows 7 Ultimate x64, no drivers were needed to use the card. At least not with my version of Windows, but I’m pretty sure it will also work with Windows XP and Vista.
I used the free benchmarking utility “HD Bench” to test the speed, these were the results I acquired. Now I did use an USB adapter, which may have decreased the speed a small bit.

Pretty good speed!
Then I inserted it to my mobile phone, a HTC Wildfire S running Android Gingerbread 2.3.3.
I copied 8,1 gigabytes of music in less than ½ hour.
As this is what I’ll be using it for, I’m very happy with the result

Conclusion:
This Micro-SD card has a lot of bang for your bucks, it works as said. Nothing more, nothing less. I’d recommend it to anyone, as I’ll be using it a lot myself.

I stripped out the links, the price and the place that he bought it from due to concerns about spam (which I think are justified). I thought about deleting the thread, but results seemed reasonable enough, so I left the thread up.

I can't moderate Hot Deals (just MD&G), so I'll let someone else deal with that thread.
