Buy Sandisk 32 GB extreme...

Up to 50 mb/s file write:)

But i'm not sure if it is available in micro sd:P

When buying a memory card, you must see the speed of it's "file write"...

Eg. Sandisk memory card have classes
I'm currently using Sandisk 8gb class 4 which run 4mb/s...
quite decent but not fast...
You need to find a class 6 card or even a class 10 card... if money is not a problem for you...

i'm not sure if speed is at all relevant in a phone, maybe if you do video recording? i wouldn't spend a fortune on a card for a phone.

Sandisk is a sure bet, Kingston and others are a good brand too.

if you want to go geeky, the main difference in SD cards (or flash drives in general) is the chip storage technology: SLC or MLC - the SLC being more 'reliable' - but we're talking huge (im)probabilities of failure - you're extremely unlikely to experience a loss of data because of card chip malfunction. and manufacturers don't even mention this on product pages anymore [anyone can confirm?].

If you're after capacity, I'd just make sure you don't buy something really really slow.

Note that write and read speeds always differ, writing almost always slower.

google products always first my fav shop is pictsop or alternatively amazon or ebay [be wary of fakes though - if it sounds too good...]

speeds are really important if you've got a DSLR camera.
