If you have a phone with MicroSDHC expandability, then you’ll be pleased to hear that Sandisk are slowly shipping their first batches of 16GB cards.
You’ll be parting with about $100 of your hard earned cash, but you’ll certainly be one of the first on the block with this much storage. These cards should work in most Blackberry, Nokia and HTC devices with SDHC support.
I took the plunge and ordered one, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed it isn’t a fake/scam/broken/mistake. You’ll find them on Ebay or many retailers outside the US (apparently Sandisk has not shipped them to US retailers yet).

What would you look for to determine authenticity? I guess I’m just cynical in assuming most eBay stuff like this is fake, but I’m actively looking for simple forensics to determine it’s not.

In the past, I have emailed Sandisk customer care a closeup photo of the drive. With a drive this large, I don’t think there will be many fakes just yet. The best way to check is to just copy a 16GB file to it and see if it fits (of course, with Sandisk, 16GB = around 15GB).
