Cell Phone Memory Card

Recently got myself a Motorola KRZR. Slick little phone. Anyway, I've been looking around for a memory card for it. The place where I got my phone wants $100 for a 2 gig, a different cell phone place wants $120 for a 4 gig, and London Drugs (sells pretty much everything from prescription drugs to home theaters) wants $60 for an 8 gig.

Their prices for the 4 and 2 gig go down relatively from the $60.

I figure I can get one on fleabay, but what exactly should I be looking for? Name brand? Max memory? Some cell phone reviews say the KRZR can't handle anything more than a 4 gig anyway.

Input anyone?

I believe it is a Micros SD, but not sure..

If it does then you can get a 2GB for $7.00 at New EGG

most krzr's accept 2 Gb micro sd cards not worth buying a bigger card, but you can buy multiple cards and keep different song sets on them!

sale 2 gb micro sd

Yeah, it does take the Micro SD. Should have mentioned that. Basically wanted to confirm what I was reading. But $7.00?!? That's friggen cheap.

The prices I listed must be a Canada thing.

But then, when my wife and I were on our honeymoon, we got a 512 Memory Stick for our camera at CompUSA for $100 US, in 2003. Closest we could get in Canada at the time was the 256 for $100, Canadian.

I'm gonna check out those links now.

Well, after doing a bit more digging, I found a review that said he couldn't use bluetooth headphones with it. Kinda pointless. Anyways... The whole point to my quest was to get the micro SD, load a bunch of music on it, and listen to that music with bluetooth earbuds.

Heck, if I wanted hardwired earbuds, I'd just use my current mp3 player.

Heck, I already do that.

Maybe I'll get an iPod nano for Christmas instead. (If I'm lucky.)

I bought a 2gig memory card for my samsung sync last year for under $20 at walmart they wanted $60 at AT&T,I haven't even come close to maxing it out yet and I use it for photos and a vid camera all the time,it will hold 5000 songs to but I haven't put any music on it yet and the wife got me a sweet pair of BT headphones for it at X-mas time.
