micro sd card

Buying from eBay is FINE but you MUST checkout the sellers feedback/reputation first.

Try NOT to buy from outside UK or your own particular country but wherever you buy from make sure you use Paypal to pay for the item as they will recover your monies if the card  turns out to be faulty.

Make sure you thoroughly test the card BEFORE you leave any eBay feedback.

I have had many, many items from eBay - including memory cards - and only had the odd problem that was then swiftly sorted by Paypal.

It is not eBay that is "dodgy" but some of the sellers on there and your own common sense must also be used !!

I have continued my quest for a quality 32Gb card that is sure to work with my HTC Desire S.  San Disk seems to be the one popping up but they are varied in price.  Would Carphone Warehouse be a safe bet?  I take it that a Class 2 card is okay even for that size?  Nobody seems to have anything any faster and even HTC themselves pointed me towards their sales site for a San Disk one at £89.99.

Comments and experiences welcome as this is a lot of money but I could really do with the extra capacity.

cheers,

Martin.

I know what you mean.  It does put you in some what of a quandry just thinking about it.  I've spent all day looking at memory cards    Maybe I should stop being greedy and make do with the 16Gb one for now.  Play.com certainly are a much safer bet.

Maybe I will hold off for now.  Listen to the same 10 albums until bored, then take them off and add different ones.  At least until there is a decent 32Gb card for a decent price.  It's been a rocky road so far and I just don't want to buy yet another white elephant.

I've been using a 16Gb SanDisk for weeks now without any problems at all. Even with all the music I'm likely to need loaded onto it, there's still 6Gb free.

I should have taken this route initially. 

What about this one? Has anyone bought and installed it on their phones yet?
