    +1. mymemory.co.uk are in jersey so you might be liable for vat. I would avoid ebay, I am usually pretty careful about ebay, I got stung with 2 faulty microsd's, seller did a runner but I got all the money back via paypal. not worth the hassle, mymemory are only about €1-2 more. If no 16gb is on sale now I would hold out a week or so if you can, they keep having offers come & go, I have ordered LOADS from them, and never had a problem.

    £33 for a class 2 16gb, http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Micro-SDHC/Integral/Integral-16GB-Micro-SD-%28SDHC%29-Card-Class-2-%28Inc-Adapter%29

    class 4 16gb 8GB are £12.50 on mx2.co.uk last time I checked

    EDIT: 8GB not 16GB

    Can't see this at all - 8 GB class 6 is £16.99 though ?

    Just under €45 for class 2 and you can pick it up if you are in Dublin so no delivery charge.

    if at all possible get a class 6 especially for a phone otherwise transferring data on to it is painfully slow

    I just bought this last night for my phone. 16GB Class 6. Cost €62 plus €6 delivery. Can be collected from their warehouse in Celbridge for free if it suits.

    Thanks for the replies lads, am looking into the listed options.

    Besides the initial transfer...is there a noticeable difference between class 2,4 and 6? As the price differences are quite significant!

    Transfer speed is the only difference. The speed difference is quite big though so the reason for the price jump

    Once it doenst make the phone slower in day to day us (like when accessing the card to listen to music) im happy enough. After the intial transfer, i wont be transfering data to often.
