now i dont feel like paying 90euro in some store in dublin city for something i might be able to get for 19 on the net so if you guys know or recomend any site that sends to ireland id be gratefull

I've noticed http://www.mobymemory.com are the cheapest so far

for example a 4GB Pro Duo including delivery comes to around €125 and for an extra €6 or so you can get a paired USB2.0 card reader for it

Do they deliver to Ireland?
If so, how much?
You have to actually put something in your cart, give name, address, post code etc. before you can find out delivery conditions/charges. I hate sites that do that.

I'm looking for a 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo. Mobymemory is £11 cheaper than Amazon, but I still don't know whether they deliver to Ireland and how much they charge.

just wanted to say thanks Ruu. got a 2GB miniSD off 7dayshop.com for 32euro including postage. at least thats my estimate at the exchange rate today. saved me an absolute fortune seeing as a 1GB in carphone warehouse on grafton street is circa 80 euro. i'll get back onto you guys to let you know if theres any problems and what the final price in euros is

The adapter just changers it from a reduced size MMC to a normal MMC, so i can be used it devices that only take MMC

hey just giving you the heads up. got my memory card in the post this morning, it cost 33 euro including packaging and increased the recording time of my nokia 6280 on its highest settings from the 3 minutes the 64mb gave me to two hours eleven minutes ! !

im in absolute heaven, i was trying to get good footage of the fireworks over halloween and was forced to delete half the songs on my phone to get a measly couple of minutes (not to mention missing some great stuff when deleating files to make space) so this is a godsend to me. 2GB for about a quarter of the normal price. thank god for the net and you guys
