Great prices. I'm having trouble filling up the space i already have!

I bought a 1GB card when they hit $100us, and I have yet to fill it. Maybe I should pick up a 512miniSD card now, so I'll be ready when I get my new phone....

Movies easily suck up that space on my phone. I will have to keep an eye out for them in the mainstream stores...

The only places that sell 512mb minisd cards now either rip you off or put you on a back order list.

[Kris Kumar]

Too bad they are not available in stores. I hope they hit the stores soon.

I got my 128mb miniSD this past tuesday. I was going to get the 512 or 256 miniSD but they were on back according to web site at Sandisk. I ordered my from Sandisk directly

SanDisk 512 MB ?

I have a 256MB card in my C500 and use it for audio only (not tried movies yet) and have yet to fill it. A big reason to get a SMartphone was to double as an MP3 player, so the higher capacity cards available, the better.

Even if I was buying for an SD device, I'd get a mini-SD card so I could keep my future device options open!

THAT is an excellent point.

[Mike Temporale]

Unless they come out with a different format. :wink:

You may have just jinxed us all! :twak:

:lol: You know that they are already working on it. It's just a matter of time. :wink:

Actually they already have made the TransFlash (which I have in my v710) format with an SD adaptor!

So therefore.......

We will pretend you didnt say that :worried:

I got the 128 just to try it out. Some day ill get the 512 one. But for now, ill just use my CF 1gb and SD 512 PDA for video. I got the Iriver 512 mp3 player/recorder. Its way cool, it can record voice and convert them to mp3 file, great for doing recording meetings.
