High Street retailers for mini-SD cards?

[Guest drblow]

Does anyone know any? I've had a wee look around town, & none of the usual stockists for SD cards seem to have mini SD cards for sale.

For those of us without plastic, can anyone give us a few names of high street retailers who would stock mini SD cards?

Maplins (@ Lakeside, Essex) had some yesterday, but only 32Mb I think

Same over here in The Netherlands. Even the International shops like Dixons and Vobis aren't carrying miniSD-cards yet.

I expect things will change within the next couple of weeks though, as the market for this format has multiplied recently. We'll just have to be patient a little while longer.

On the other hand...

Since we live in the 21st century and memory-cards aren't exactly the type of products that you need a sales-person for to show you how it works, there is very little reason for buying these things in a shop and paying double the amount you'd pay when ordering from a web-shop. If you compare the prices of normal SD-cards to the prices offered on web-shops you will see for yourself they're really overpriced.

Jessop's have some 128mb ones in their online store, normally the same for the retail shops....

As I said above, I have no plastic cards to transact with! :twisted: I would love to buy online, but it's not really feasible as far as I can see.

With Paypal you can also register using a normal bank-account. You don't particularly need a credit card. Furthermore, where I live (The Netherlands) most (nearly all actually) webshops allow you to pre-pay your order using a normal bank-transfer. I even ordered several times with webshops in Germany this way.

I took a credit-card several months ago, mainly for ordering stuff from the US. In Europe I've always used my ordinary bank-account.

PM user 'Shop @ MoDaCo', i'm pretty sure we are able to accept bank transfer in the MoDaCo Shop.

I was suggesting they (jessop's) normally have the same stock in their highstreet stores, as they do in their online ones.

My local Jessops hadn't heard of them but when I said they were on the web siite, they siad they could order them. Would need 25% deposit and it could take 2-3 weeks.

high streets shops dont tend to be with it most of the time, it will be a while before they get the cards (i mean seriously now...how mnay gadgets in the UK actually use the card format?! i havent heard of any other than the c500) so i dont think they will be getting any soon.
