The SD and MMC battle

[Guest awarner [MVP]]

Ok phone ordered free gift on order just have to wait until Tues until

phone arrives :(

So here's a question for you all, what is the difference between an SD and MMC on the card front? and which is better? let me know as there can be quite a price difference when you shop around i.e Ebuyer etc, or do you know of a cheaper place?

When the phone comes through I'll let you know what I think

:D

www.digitaldepot.co.uk 135 ukp for 256 mb sd card

just ordered 2

cheapest in uk by far after hours of searching

can get cheaper abroad, but you risk long waits, import tax, vat, nonexistant companies etc:

If your not as loaded as dougal or just don't need as much storage amazon are doing 64mb mmc cards for £24.99.

4 x 64mb cards = 256mb

4 x 24.99 = £99.96

Ok thanks all for price info but does anyone know what the difference between th cards are???

[Guest Bazz]

MMC cards aren't as fast as SD cards, but therefore are cheaper.

[Guest mr_tim]

some people say the sd cards are faster but i don't know. The mmc cards do not have the sliding lock as on the sd

Here's a good explanation:

Thanx for that, i'm :D now

so at the end of the day, any apps that are big i.e. games or any vital info you should use an SD card anything else use the normal MMC cards.

I did not realise SD cards could be upto 4x faster.

7dayshop have cheap SD cards up to 128Mb.

Hi

Can someone confirm to me that the SPV is MMC compatible? I've a number of cards I use with the SL45 and I'm loath to move if they're redundant. Quick replies welcome.

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

Yep, have a 64MB MMC in mine atm!

It will be interesting to see what the actual real cost of using this service is.

Hopefully the adverts you get sent are not too big or too often, once in a while can mean a lot of things.
