Cheapest 1,2 and 4Gb SD cards in UK, where to buy?

Going to need to buy an SD card for my Exec soon, anyone have recommendations? From reading the forum I think the HighSpeed cards are no better in the Universal than standard cards. The speed only helps when used in a card reader on the PC, so the cheapest standard card is what I am looking for?
Merry Christmas to you all
I use: http://www.mymemory.co.uk/
No VAT!

I just bought a Transcend 4GB SD Card from :
http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=17231&ft=D
Great product at a great price.
Arrived yesturday works great with my XDA EXEC with no problems.
should have bought it from ebay, 4gb for 150 uk pounds
Not really, the best deal I found on ebay for a Transcend 4GB was £168 including delivery from USA.
From OraLogic I got it for £174.50 + VAT including free std delivery.
As this was a corporate purchase I can claim the VAT back , so for £5.00 more I get to buy from a UK company a product with a warranty that is covered in the UK. Not to mention the quicker delivery as its local compared to coming from USA.
If you are referring to the Adata 4GB cards on ebay, I have three friends who bought those and 2 out of 3 of them have problems with using them with their XDA Exec's.
better split your sd card into 2gb+2gb.rather than buy a whole 4gb.
just for precaution and separate into 2 sd card more easy.for example 1 for data and program and another for music,photo,etc.
Best I can find without going via ebay is at Novatech, 1Gb SD for £31.41+vat, find it here...

Lucky for me its only down the road so I don't even have to pay for shipping, but if anyone finds better please post here, thanks

Want to buy a 2gb Mini SD Card... Do they work?

I only got my XDA Mini S yesterday, so I don't have any memory cards for it yet.
I kind of figured that as I'm going down the consolidation route (ie Phone, PDA, iPod into one device so I don't have to carry a rucksack with me everywhere!) I might as well get as much memory as possible, so I can stick a bunch of MP3's on there.
I can get 1gb for between £40 and £50 (GBP), but haven't seen many places selling 2gb.
I also wanted confirmation that the Wizard will actually recognise 2gb.
Any ideas on places in the UK that I can get a 2gb card from (assuming they work!)?
Hmm, just found this:
http://www.mobymemory.com/proddetail.asp?prod=miniSD_2048mb_MOBY_001
It says it's compatible with the QTEK 9100 and T-Mobile Vario, so I assume this is the one to go for... Just a bit concerned that it's unbranded (I usually get Sandisk or Kingston :? )
Hi,
I use a 2GB mini-sd card in my MDA Vario - no problem, it works fine.
The card is unbranded and available at www.memoryworld.de for 125 euro.
Greetings, Newchurch
I got the one off of mobymemory - works a charm
Can't say the same for the miniSD > USB stick that they gave for free with it, though.
Sweet, looks like I'll be getting one of these then!
I'm really starting to like this device now I've joined this board...
When I first started using it out of the box, I had to reboot it every 10 minutes. It very nearly got returned to the shop!
Thanks for your help guys!
Yeah i bought a 1Gb miniSD mobymemory card, brillient! Cheeper and faster than my scandisk 1Gb mini SD, (found out when using tomtom its data accessing times are faster) And its like £1 for postage and got delivered the next day! brillient!
Sounds like im a promoter witht the site or summit but no, its actualy gud!
That's one of the reasons I got the mobymemory one... it's an SLC (single layer) rather than an MLC (guess), so it's a fair bit faster
Excellent, thanks for your comments.
I'll order one tomorrow!
Another vote for the moby memory one, I ordered mine on friday afternoon, and it arrived yesterday! Brilliant
It's definatly much faster transfering with a card reader rather than the phones connection though
Just be careful with the moby memory cards. They are very thin and fragile. I have one and it split when trying to remove it from the USB stick they supplied with it. Comparing the Moby card with Scandisk you can see that it's a lot more fragile and flexible than the Scandisk one.
I'm not sure I'll buy another because of this.
I don't think it's physically thinner than any other miniSD card, as that is a tight specification. The subtrate may be thinner, however - I haven't checked, nor do I particularly want to
That said... let's face it.. all of these cards are stupid-tiny, and they're getting tinier ( I made a comparison chart for tweakers.net a long time ago, see: http://www.pointzero.nl/dump/cards.jpg ). I'd say that any primarily plastic object that's only 1.2mm thick demands to be treated with respect
( If you go way back to the MMC cards - they were only 0.76mm thick while being very large - crazy! )
I second your notion about that card > USB reader they gave with it, though. First of all - mine doesn't work. Big deal. But second - it was nearly *impossible* to get the card out of the thing again. I definitely won't even bother to try and use it with this 2GB one even if it does magically start working.

You're probably right but the Scandisk card is definitely stiffer than the Moby one. Just warning people to be careful if they have the Moby card as it doesn't seem to be as robust in construction.
ordered one from mobymemory.com
I never recieved it.
no tracking ;-(
I like to get one!
As Mobymemory seems to ship everything in a manner where you have to sign for its receipt (well, I did anyway), they should be able to tell that you never received the package; short of them being lying scumbags
If they tell you that you did receive it, ask for a copy (scan, fax) of the release form. If they can't show it to you, they have no case, and you can take it up with your credit card issuer (if paid by credit card), or you can pursue other methods of getting the card / money back.
If they can show it to you, and it's not your signature, then try and figure out whose it is - family member, roommate, whatever, and take the issue up with them.
If it -is- your signature, then please seek professional help
Bah!
I ordered a 2Gb Moby card and (as usual) it turned up in a flash (geddit?). Excellent. Slapped it in the (supplied) adapter, slapped that in my card reader and hey Tesco! Not accessible. B*gger! So I booted up my (custom SD-enabled*) laptop and transferred all the data of onto the hard disk. Then I swapped the cards in the adapter and transferred all of that data off onto the 2Gb card. Wahey!
Great, except that the folders were called &*^&^%£ and )!(£(!")*(. Doh! Looks like my laptop reader couldn't address the card.
So I spent the extra £5 and the postage for a card reader and now you tell me that the card reader is too brutish for the card. Damn, damn and thrice damn!
(* My laptop has an SD card re-writer in it, but the catch is broken so I have to stretch an elastic band round the keybord to keep the card in!)
DM.
P.S. Do you think I'm addicted to parentheses ?
I ordered mine today and specified Special Delivery...
I'm hoping to have it tomorrow.
I took the risk and ordered a 1GB mini SD from mobymemory. Got it by recorded delivery the next day! Also the first time ever a retailer charged me the correct postage! (£1.20)
The card works fine and is not flimsy as someone commented earlier. It comes with a little adpater for card readers etc..
Good work fellas..
i also bought a 2GB card for the 9100 from MobyMemory because of this topic. arrived in 3 days (from UK to FR) and so far so good! 1950MB free out of the box (awesome!) and not flimsy or cheap feeling at all. use the adapter for photos direct to the DVD player and it works great! good price too.
thanks for the tip!

2GB Mini-SD from Moby Memory
Voice Command (UK female voice, love it!)
First - Hi to everybody! It's my first post here...
(and unfortunately not last :wink: )
I'm new and I'm looking for some help, advice and independent opinions.
I've bought O2 XDA mini S yesterday, and today I'm looking for memory card...
I went through MobyMemory offer and I've found "High-Speed 2GB mini-SD Card HIGH SPEED Read - 9mb per sec, Write - 8mb per sec transfers" for only £64.99 - is it good price (as for today) or should I look for another shop / brand?
What are your opinions after few months of using MobyMemory mini-SD cards?
Any issues, broken/faulty cards? Are you still happy with this purchase?
Next few question marks - are these cards really noticeable faster than i.e "SanDisk 2GB mini-SD Card"? SanDisk is £10 cheaper... is the speed of the PDA impacted by the speed of memory card used (noticeable) or the difference is only when you need to transfer large amount of data to the card (from the PC for example)?
This one is (probably) very simply for you - What are the pros and cons of having one 2GB card or two 1GB each?
Using two cards should be more comfortable, of course as long as you did't lose one...
Is 1GB memory card enough for everyday use (2 full lenght films + few videos + 10 albums + some additional applications...)?
How much (audio / video) data I can fit on 1GB card?
And last but not least - I'm going to buy 17-in-1 card reader (MobyMemory special deal) to serve this card - is anybody using it, any suggestions, opinions?...
Sorry for so many questions
Thanks in advance
I have a 1gb and 2gb mobymemory cards. Highly recommended and faultless. I have the 1gb for a year and 2gb for a month. they are better than normal cards and are mono-density or something and fast. yes 64.99 is a good deal for 2gb got mine for 79.99.
Movies about 150-200 mb each, and music if compress at 64kps WMA about 2-3 mb each song so yes should be able to fit them on a 1gb card - I would prefer 2gb more room and more likely to lose if keep taking in and out if you have too cards.
Your choice though .
Welcome to the wizard ownera club - you will have many good hours fun with this great device.

Got 8gb Sandisk SDHC card today - SUCCESS!!

Ok no test yet, but bought a new sandisk 8gb class 4 SDHC card (RETAIL) came with packaging (Bought retail cos i wanted to be sure i got the good stuff)
Put it into the Kaiser, did a soft reboot and and clicked on settings >>Memory>>Storage Card - it says 7782.47MB free!
Wahaaay! Looks like ive got myself 8gb of storage for mp3's, movies and files for my kaiser now!
I will copy over some songs during the weekend and give a final update on how its going, but from first looks, its brilliant!!
Very excited to have so much more storage space on my lovely kaiser!
For those that want to know i bought at the ebay link below, but you can buy this card anywhere and it should work alright.
The ebay guy took a week to post it, and you might get it quicker elsewhere.

That's a standard SD, it won't work in your phone. I got one of those (except made by OCZ - 8gb/Class6) a few months back for around $40/shipped (USD).

Which one wont work? The San Disk one? Or the cheesy looking AData one?
the sandisk one will work, the other adata wont work since its not a microSD.
£44 inc delivery
£44 from a store with an apparently good reputation: http://www.modaco.com/content/Windows-Mobile-News/263088/8GB-microSDHC-reader-44-41-DELIVERED/

I read on eBay reviews that if it did not have the SanDisk hologram then it is not authentic/authorized for sale.
How true is that?
I previously purchased some SanDisk flashdrives on eBay and they looked and felt genuine...
Yesterday Im buy SanDisc microSDHC 8GB and work ok with my HTC Tytn II...
