Hi!,
Can someone tell the best website to buy a Sd card ?
Should be 512 mb or greater, and have a good response in velocity
It's to be used in a Qtek S100/Magitian
Im' from Portugal, so shipment costs are relevant
Thanks in advance
Best Regards,
Miguel Cunha
You can have a look at this site:
http://www.tweakers.net/pricewatch/cat/48/top
It is a dutch pricewatch with many dutch shops, but also many internet shops.
I bought my high-speed 1GB SD card from Amazon.co.uk and it cost £63, which is equivalent to about €90. The brand is Bytestor and it works perfectly so far.
On Ebay...Guy in new york sells 1gig sd for about £38 and £9ish to ship.
Takes 3 - 5 days and fully guaranteed
bakerk ...
How much in USD or EUR ? I'm from Portugal, so.. maybe that person doesn't ship to portugal ... i have to look better in ebay...
Thanks
I'd recommend that you are very careful about buying on eBay...
I bought my first 1GB SD card from a person on eBay. The card he sent from the US was NOT the same as the card he was advertising on eBay. He claims it was the same but the speed rating was different. Customer service was non-existant and he didn't care that he sent me a different card brand. His card took 4 weeks to arrive.
This is why my second purchase was from Amazon. It was slightly more expensive but it was much quicker and I knew it was going to be correct.
Maybe I was unlucky with eBay but the very cheapest isn't always the best. :?
Good luck

This is NOT the guy I had problems with. (My guy was called Sarafatl.)
However, the guy I used had a feedback rating of 99.7% from over 100,000 trades. I thought I'd be safe. Two weeks after I received my card he disappeared from eBay. User account closed.
Compared with trading with someone like Amazon, who have a reputation to protect, eBay may be slightly cheaper but not cheap enough to compensate for the worry of using someone completely unknown, IMHO.
I ordered from sarafatl because he was selling the specific brand of card that someone in these forums had recommended (Kingmax) but that wasn't the brand of card I received. He said he'd run out of stock. I have no idea whether the card he sent was as good as the (recommended) Kingmax.
Bought mine off ebay. Lexar 1 GB, paid $65 including shipping to Norway from the US.
Always had good experience shopping off ebay, as long as you stick to the power sellers you should be ok...

1Gb for £46.94

The reviews posted over the weekend indicate there is an 8 GB SD card included in the box.
Is that a vendor deal or is it supplied by HTC?
Reason I ask is I have ordered an SD card with the phone which I won't need if it comes with one already. I phoned Expansys sales and they don't think it comes with an SD card.
Any definitive advice would be most welcome ...otherwise I just have to wait and see!
Thanks
Mal
I also want to know this, please post where did you guys bought it and if it had the sdcard on package, inside or outside...
In dutch (UK version of Thouch HD), this information wasn't there yet yesterday when i looked at this website (http://www.pdashop.nl/product/59806/htc-touch-hd-uk.html)
In de doos:

8 GB memorycard
I spoke with the Expansys sales rep here in CHina and he seemed to think that the one which ships to Hong Kong (and therefore the one that makes into the mainland) would most likely have a 1gb card, however the website clearly states there will be an 8gb card. Not sure if this is standard for the region or if the local guy is just taking it before he ships them out. THis is common practice here in CHina to buy something new and find that the distributor opened it up and swapped out the memory cards, batteries, charger, etc. with much crummier OEM stuff and then re-shrinkwrapped it. I've e-mailed Expansys UK and expansys HK to ask and will let you know if I get any concrete confirmations.....
Scandisk 8GB microSDHC in box
Hi!
HTC ships the HD with a Scandisk 8GB microSDHC memory card in the box for the hungarian distributor. Since Hungary is in EU I assume it will be the same for other EU countries as well.
But to be completly sure ask the distributor in your country!
Brgds,
imee.h
France
In France too, it will ship with 8Go Micro SD card
I am about to order this http://www.expansys.com.gr/p.aspx?i=175641
Is the Greek version of expansys my question is, if there is already an 8GB microsd in the box, why this value pack contains 8gb "expansys" microsd (appart from the case and the car charger)?
Does that mean that I will receive the touch hd with 8gb sandisk in the box, PLUS the extra 8gb "expansys" card?
In México is also included the 8gb card
But it´s soo expensive here.... $1,200USD!!!
Sounds like expansys is trying to make money out of you guys.
HTC will include ScanDisk 8g SDHC in the package all over the world...same goes for battery,headset,etc...standard pack.
If you buy it trough an operator the pack might be different,but never less then original HTC package...unless of course you live in a third world country(like somalia,Ruanda,Ghana,etc...) where you go to customer services complain and they beat you with a baseball bat and steal your HTC HD

Hello,
Please where did you get this news.
Thanks
mobiles.co.uk do not list it as included
Right here, http://www.expansys.com/ft.aspx?k=115444 , a guy from expansys confirms that the 8gb card is included!!!
Nevertheless, if someone receive his HD from expansys please confirm if the card is inside...
I`m Romanian and we have a real problem concerning what you really get in your box. My HD should arrive in a couple of days and I don`t think I`ll get the 8GB MicroSD as the dealer didn`t post this detail in the product`s specs... I`ll be back in a few days with an Later Edit to let you know if I did got the card or not... Fingers crossed.

Confirmed that the CHinese expansys distributor is stealing the 8gb cards out of the boxes and repackaging them. I would bet this is going on in a lot of countries, wheni called the main expansys customer srevice line they told me nothing they could do about it so apparently they don't care..... @ssh*les.....
@Raziel1 - Already read that but the problem is not with the original content the problem is with our dealers.. It wouldn`t be the first time I receive something else... Also.. They are not responsable because on their site they don`t post extre accesories like cards... It`s similar to what mlalahoi said. Repackiging is possible... The main thing is I just don`t trust them... I guess I`ll see when I receive my HD.
@htc_hd I ordered my HD from eMag.ro like a week or so ago... They say it`ll arrive on Nov 14th... clicky here

Hiya,
I saw a few posts here and there about people who are uncertain as to whether there's any removable storage included with the X1.
I purchased an O2 X1 last week, and it came with a 4GB micro-SD. The card was already inserted into the device.
I hope this clears things up for anyone thinking about makaing a purchase on O2.
Oms.
and which country are u talking about? or is o2 germany only?
It depends. I got my X1 ON O2 but I didn't get it FROM O2, which is presumably why mine did not come with the memory card.
My X1 is retail rather than O2 branded. Not to mention if I were relying on O2 I probably would have never gotten the X1, I don't think they were even available directly when I ordered mine.
Its hardly a big deal though, microSD are pretty cheap and I am glad I got 8GB. Having a spare 4GB would have been useful but its no deal breaker. I am glad I got a retail X1 as I have no immediate plans to mess around flashing custom ROM images to it.
iv done some benchmarking of the 2,4 and 16gb cards if your interested on the Turbo X1 thread, i did not have an 8gb to test, maybe you would like to fill in some gaps and post some results for us. If its as fast as the 4gb, I will get one, but if its got the same speed as the 16gb card, then I will stick with that.
Good point - My bad.
My device was purchased from an O2 store, in the UK. It was therefore a 'branded' silver X1.
I had the option to 'upgrade' my handset at various retailers, however I found the best deals to be at the official O2 stores/telesales depts.
I almost upgraded to a black X1 at the carphone warehouse: BUT although the £45 tariff appeared to be identical, it didn't include unlimited web bolt-on that I would have got if I purchased direct from O2.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Oms.

Indeed. Got mine at a random electronics chain in Italy, unbranded. Came with a 2gb card. Although 16gig cards aren't all that pricey nowadays if you look in the right place.
I recently bought a micro sdhc 32GB card, and I am having endless issues with it.
1. My HD2 won't allow me install apps on my card. Just always asks me to install in a different area.
2. It has once deleted everything off my card, and also deleted over 10GB of music while leaving everything else intact.
3. My HD2 will sometimes see it and sometimes not.
I have tried to sync music onto it from my laptop, I have used the USB connection and I have put it straight on using my SD card reader.
Does anyone know how to resolve this? I bought the HD2 because it was expandable up to 32GB and I didn't want to carry a phone and a ipod, and I didn't fancy a ipod.
Help please?
What card did you get, where from, and how much did you pay for it?
There are dozens of people on here who got ripped off and got fake 32GB cards, and this is the kind of thing that can happen with them.
I paid £30 off eBay it was from a power seller, but my PC reads it as 32GB and it also can put the 10GHosts of music on and see it. I haven't tried to read off my pc though.
Geeeez, sorry but it's DEFINITELY a fake! Did you reall think you would get a 32GB card for 30 bucks? You guys are making it really easy for those frauds on eBay. I mean, if it had been 100 I would have understand, but 30???
Yes, fake with no doubt, £100 is about the cheapest you can have (a real) one for.
Alright thanks. I thought it was good offer but I still went ahead as he had a 99% score on ebay. Oh well that's money down the drain. amazon for me now.
He scores 99% because he removes the item before people can give negative feedback. Correspondence about refunds and sending new items take time, before you know the item will be retracted. And a lot of people give pos. fb without having really put 32 gigs on their card, as it seems to be working at first.
Pretty much the formula is this..
ebay + shipped from hong kong = fake.
Its best to not even purchase memory cards from ebay. Find a reliable retailer in your country or region. Youll still get a good deal purchasing online, and it will be guaranteed to be legit. (with a warranty!)
Thanks guys I will get on to ebay see if I can get some money back, I have found a 16GB for the same price on a proper retail website.
Thanks again.
a 30pound 32gb card?
Maybe in 4 years
Btw... I have had good experiences with buying from Hong Kong too, but just not SD cards, other things like phone skins, car holders, etc. are ok, they're cheap and and you can't lose . Also you have a better chance of buying cheap but good items from Hong Kong when you buy from a seller's web site instead of eBay.
..but, am uncertain about the "validity" of this online shop.
Anyone have experience with this merchent?
http://www.cellgsmphones.com/conten...omnia_7_16gb_unlocked_gsm_phone_preorder.html
there is no 16 giga version for the omnia7
Thats wrong. There is such a version - for example in Germany.
If this site got the 16GB Version is a different matter tough.
These shops have the 16GB Versions http://geizhals.at/eu/a582829.html
watch out for the German T-Mobile Branded Omnia 7. It's not released right now, we have to wait 2-3 weeks.
Not 2-3 weeks. I just got an email that the place where I bought it will send it to me on Friday.
Most sites on the Internet says 16th or 18th though.
Where did you buy it, the most shops i asked about the 16GB version said 2-3 weeks.
I bought it with a contract on an ebay store.
I guess thats not what you are looking for.
But on amazon.de there are for example a few shops with a delivery on 18th.
If you search on google you will see the other stores with 16th (I have doubts that they really get it delivered by then, but thats what they say)
Anyone found one outside of Germany? Also, are the German ones unlocked and usable abroad?
Starting to get tired of waiting for the Dell Venue Pro.
A t-mobile phone is a t-mobile phone as far as i know. You can buy it from the link i posted earlier this morning sim free from deutsche telekom *aka t-mobile*
***posted this earlier****
It's with deutsche telekom you can get the 16gb version.
Found the link.

What I meant was... If it's locked to T-Mobile DE, would it be ok with T-Mobile UK.
On a side note I wasn't expecting such a high price, maybe 100€ less...

Yeah maybe compared to the 8GB but the PAYG HD7 is only £380 and also 16GB, even if you pay to unlock it you won't go above £400 .
I might have to wait for the Dell Venue Pro afterall and upgrade the SD card.

I've got the German Omnia and it is definitely not locked to T-Mobile, because otherwise I wouldn't be able to use it with o2
The phone has no hardware branding but software branding with some uninstallable software and a customized search within IE (instead of Bing you get a Google based Telekom search). The biggest problem so far is that the MMS settings are locked to T-Mobile and are not customizable, so I can't sent or receive MMS (for me, it's no big deal, but for some it is...).
Furthermore, you can get the phone from other stores as well: Geizhals (local price search) has an overview of several shops that have the phone and are also cheaper than T-Mobile. The shop with the lowest price (handyattacke.de) also mentions that it might be possible to ship to other countries, but you have to ask them ("Lieferung in weitere Länder auf Anfrage."). Might be worth a try

LOL! Thats pretty funny... No offense, but let me guess, your german was coming from google translate or something like that? At least you´ve tried it!
Was today in a T-Mobile Shop in Germany and was asking the guy there about the Omnia 7. He confirmed me that all the T-Mobile branded Omnia 7 which are sold in Germany have 16GB memory and are not locked... That means you just have to find a Online Shop in Germany who send it to Europe to get a 16GB one. The only things you have to accept are the mms problem, startscreen from T-mobile for 2 seconds and the T-mobile Search. But Im sure with the time somebody here solve that problems...
