Who isn't! 512 MB SD cards are still pretty pricey, but if you're a State Street Direct member (signing up is free) you can get this 256 MB SD card for $79.95. Not bad at all!

Your lowest price search engine showed a price of $71 from theNerds.net last week. Unfortunatly when I tried to order, they were out of stock, so I misssed an excellent deal there.

great.
no international orders!
OT: anybody know if kingston SD cards are any good? or is sandisk the company of choice?
dMores: if you're using a Toshiba PDA, don't buy a Sandisk memory card (unless you can thoroughly test it beforehand). There have been some reports of problems with Sandisk SD cards and Toshiba E570's. Because of those reports I bought a Lexar card, and that works perfecly in my E570.

*sigh* if only they would ship outside of the US i would jump on this deal! For reference, the cheapest I have found a 256MB SD card in Australia is $AU230 ($US135) :cry:

Bit of a touchy issue this one. Whilst there have been quite a few complains about Sandisk and the Toshiba PDAs, a lot of people (myself included) have had no problem with them. Suppose it is a gamble if you get one, but they have been known to work :)
Mind you, I do have issues with the "designed for palm" on the packaging 8O

Thanks for the tip dude! I just ordered one there (my 128MB SD was crammed)! :D
I just hope their “in stock” tag is for real… :?
Thanks to Froogle I also found that erwincomputers.com sells the 256MB SD for $72.95, but no coupon so you're better off with Neutron Express...

This is pretty good. Now if only the 512MB SD Cards could even jump down a little to $250. $150 to $200 would be ideal for the 512MB SD Cards but I have a feeling that that won't be happening until the 1GB SD Cards hit the shelves later this year.

I have had a problem with the 128MB SD card and my Toshiba. After a couple months of use the card just completly died. Good thing SanDisk has a 5 year warranty. After a couple days of trading email and sending in my card they replaced my card with two 64MB cards.
If you have a Tosiba don't get a 128 SD card. Better to be safe than sorry.

Nice, but that's CF, not SD. CF is much cheaper than SD still.
By the way, that link showed me the best price was $115 at CompuPlus (http://www.compuplus.com/insidepage.php3?refer=pricegrabber.com&id=515).

P.S. My usual rant. :-) Please don't post long links "naked". The board software doesn't wrap them, and it resets the margins for the whole page, forcing horizontal scrolling. Use the URL tags, like this:

The above looks like the following when posted:

See how much nicer that is? :-)

And, hey, you could even use the front-page Pricegrabber search box to look for things - Pocket PC Thoughts gets a few cents every time you click on a link to look at a product on the vendors site (the very last step).

None of these companies seems to ship to Canada - and if they do - their shipping and handling charges are way to high!

Sandisk 256mb for $69
http://www.compuplus.com/insidepage.php3?&id=590
Yeah - and $14.95 is the cheapest shipping price too! Yowza!
Ends up being about the same as State Street Direct...
Compu U Plus: $69.95 + 14.95 S&H = $84.90
State Street Direct: $79.95 + 5.84 S&H = $85.79
Mind you, the $5.84 is for 7 business day delivery, whereas the $14.95 is not that long...

the neutronusa offer was 70 for the 256mb sd card PLUS the USB reader (Cruzer)
the 256mb sd card alone is only 50 (30 rebate) and their shipping was as low as 6.

Sigh, :cry: insert my usual cry about living in the UK. I have emailed some of these retailers asking about shipping to here - no dice. I'm afraid I am not willing to emigrate, just to get (much) cheeper IT goodies :? (Yet).

Yeah, it's pretty harsh getting hardware up here to Canada - quite often I get a friend in the US to buy it and ship it to me. Time to make friends with someone in the US! ;-)

That is what I normally do Jason...but it is always a hassle since my friends will have to do the purchase since most of these companies require the credit card to be issued in US.

One of my Canadian friends has a credit card based on US$ that he uses while travelling in the US... Not sure how he set that up, though.
Couldn't you use your credit card and send it to your friend saying it's a "gift"?

The credit card has to have a US billing address, otherwise the sites can't verify the card. International credit card verification is a lot more expensive to get so most smaller retailers don't bother with it since they don't have enough volume to make it pay off.

kati - No US address - no credit card. Now they do not even open bank accounts...cause of security reasons.

Wow I had no idea that you guys had that problem. I'll think about that the next time I gripe when it takes a couple of weeks and some extra cash to ship somthing up to Alaska.

I ordered 2 - 256mb SD cards from the states for my 5450, but I also got 4 extra cards for those Canadian members that were posting on here saying they wouldn't ship to Canada.
If you want one just e-mail me. I would prefer to deal with people that are local, but I might be willing to ship to someone elsewhere in Canada depending on the situation.
BTW, I don't find the SD cards to be slow like some people are saying. I guess I was expecting a big slowdown based on some message postings.
I'm really loving the extra storage! Time to start transferring some MPEGs and MP3 files! :D
Bill.
You should check http://www.resellerratings.com before buying anything from neutron....
Well, FYI I ordered from Neutron and received my 256MB SD in time, safely bubble-wrapped and packed. No complaints whatsoever.
Oh and the card works fine too. :D

I ordered the Cruzer from Neutron Express last weekend. It arrived earlier this week and seems to be working fine, as reported in the "Even Cheaper 256MB SD Cards" thread (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8174&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=9).
The only "problem" was that they didn't send me an E-mail confirmation until Monday. Apparently they don't check billing information on the weekend, so I wasn't sure my order was actually OK for a day or two.

After reading the ratings site, it seems like their normal practice is to charge your card immediately upon order placement. This is bad business. Reputable companies will check your card to make sure it is a valid number and not over the limit at time of order but you will not actually be charged until the order ships. That's like going to a store and having to pay when you walk in to browse, as opposed to when you're ready to walk out with the merchandise. So even though I'm sure plenty of people have no problems with this company, I would never order from a company who charged this way.

I received my 256MB SD card from Compu Plus this week. $83 total, with shipping.
I decided not to split hairs over a few bucks, and go with them. I have my card, I don't have to worry about (or wait) for a rebate, and I'm happy!
Bottom line - I'm delighted that these prices are coming down to reasonable levels!
I now have 256MB in my "naked" iPAQ, and when I have my sleeve (and 320MB CF card) on long trips, I'm going to be in heaven!
