[ale] Somewhat OT - MicroSD linux/android - flakey

Somewhat OT.  

My HTC Rezound has had a Kingston SDC4/16GB microSDHC Flash Card - 16GB,
Class 4, Adapter in it for about 2 years now.  Worked fine.  

Last couple of months, it has occasionally decided there is no SD card.
Reboot doesn't help.   Taking the phone apart, sliding card in and out
usually helps, but not always.  

Thus far, every time I've pulled it out and stuck it in the little
adapter carrier, and stuck that in the front of my HP running Centos
(see, not totally OT) it has read just fine. 

HTC has not provided much insight, they just say maybe the SD card is
intermittently shot, and get another Class 4 or class 6 card.  That
would be cheap and the best answer. 

The less attractive answer is the SD contacts in the phone are going
south. 

Anybody got experience with an SD that is iffy in a phone, but not iffy
in a desktop? 

Any Vendors better than others?
