Best website to buy a SD card ?

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...

X7510 in stock in UK

This is earlier than I thought - is this real stock or preorder???
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/1024/htc-advantage-x7510

It sure looks like it is in stock. Why not call them up?
So now we know why you sold your X7500.
...

Ha! Ha! No still not sure if I'll buy one yet, that wasnt why I sold. I'm a bit addicted to smartphones and UMPCs, i'ts not unusual (although some would argue it is stupid!) for me to buy a phone and then sell a few days later. Over the past 12 months I've had:
T-mob Vario, T-mob Ameo, TynTnII, P3300, Trinity, Blacberry 8310 (still got), S730, (another) Advantage - the one I sold again, a Shift, 3 different eeepcs (black 701 Linux, white 900 Linux, White 900 XP)....mmmm I think thats it but might be more. Now considering either the X7510 or the Diamond....anyone??
The Handtec call centre is only open un til 5:30pm, hence I havent called yet - I have a feeling I might in the morning....although if this post gets read I won't be the only one!

If this is true, then I guess On The Go Solution's stock might really be coming tomorrow here in the US. I sure hope to see more hands on reviews.

I dont understand why any athena owners are excited by this phone, it is a downgrade IMHO from the X7500, I use my navi button all the time.

not to mention the solid state 16 GB memory. To us here in the US, the price difference is only $100, so even with the buttons on the X7500, it does not justify the price. Their milking it too much.
others might say...mini SD or micro SD cards are now cheap... YES that is true, but you loose the ability to hot swap your cards, especially if the hard drive starts acting wierd and you have no other option but to use the card as your storage for applications. YES, you can use the 4 in one cable to attach peripherals, but of course, I wouldn't be carrying that thing in my belt pocket.
To me, the added peace of mind not worrying about the hard drive going nuts is a worthy cause to go for the X7510, especially for 1st time buyers.
...

GoSolutions.com wants $1299 for 7510
If GoSolutions.com is USA, then the $1299 price they are asking is $500 more than the X7501 and NO JOG STICK or BUTTONS. It is a ridiculous price. I have about half of my 2GB SD card free and about 6GB of the MicroDrive to go.

8GB SD Card...free?

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:
Accu
Headset
Netlader
Handleiding
CD-rom met software
USB-kabel
Screenprotector
8 GB geheugenkaart

In the box:
battery
Headset
AC Adapter

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

O2 X1 DOES come with 4GB Micro-SD. :)

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.
