Advice needed: which SD card?

[Guest manveruppd]

OK, so was shopping around for a 128MB SD card to use in my SPV E200, when one of the user comments on the EBuyer website scared me enough to put me off buying almost completely:

If you are buying this for your Orange SPV E200, beware as this card will not work in the phone. It is a double layer card where the SPV needs a single layered card. I'm returning this kit for a replacement (hopefully that will work!)

...so, does anyone know which cards on the market are single and which double layered?

Thanks!

I echo what muza said regards size - try to go for at least a 256mb card - they are £40-50 now. I opted for a 512mb Kingston from eBuyer and had no trouble with it in my MPx 200.

I'd tlike to think you could return the card for another (or a refund) if it was incompatible with your phone. However, having never had to return any of my purchases from eBuyer I can't really comment on after-sale/returns support.

Sorry guys, but I didn't take your advice cause EBuyer made me an offer I couldn't refuse!;p

I know Lexar isn't a big brand - I'd never heard of them before, but the price was impossible to refuse! It's almost certainly a misprint because the 64MB Lexar costs a fiver MORE than this, but it's their problem (and their web designer's) not mine!:)

Lexar's not a big brand? I beg to differ! Fantastic deal there tho, hope it works in your SPV :)

You gotta love those misprints!:D A friend of mine saved about £100 on a digital camera cause of a mistake on PCWorld's website! It was corrected about 2 days after he placed his order.

I'll report on whether the card works as soon as I get it, so if the "offer's" still on other people can... ahem... take advantage of it...:)

So, I noticed online that they have "SD cards" and "Mini SD cards". There is a considerable difference in the physicla size of the card, although the price is about the same.

Which one do I need to get for my MPX-200? Normal or "mini" ?

I found a 256 MB "normal" SD card for $80 (after rebate, shipping, and taxes) on PC Mall.

Normal Sized for the MPx200

There are no Smartphones available YET that use the minis

Follow-up on the 128MB Lexar I got for £17 off eBuyer: works perfectly on my E200, but I checked their website again and they corrected the price, so anyone else who wanted to get one you're out of luck...:)
