i've been shopping for a mini sd card for my q9c and stumbled onto this and wanted to share it with anyone else that was in the market for a card.

it's a micro card but with mini and standard sd adapters.

it's 15 bucks with free shipping and there's tax in certain states. i got mine for a little over $16 shipped. hope this helps!

That's a great price! Where were you yesterday???LOL! I just bought my daughter's friend a san disc 2gb micro (also with both adapters) at the Verizon store for $25+..

Oh, well....he's 11, he'll adjust!

Brandon, could you teach some of that thoughtfulness to my kids? The day they go out and buy me something "just because", I think I'd have to check the address on the house, just to make sure I'm in the right place!!

Taking the term "southern gentleman" to new heights! Your mom should be proud!!

Well, she needed bigger card. So I figured why not?

I swear I have more cards then I know what to do with. Every time a good deal comes out, I jump on it and then a few months later a better deal comes out. WTF? I didn't know any better and left the VZW store with a $25 512mb card when I got my Q1 (rookie mistake). Then I got a MiniSD 1GB... then I got a 2GB microSD, and now this 4GB card is priced less than I've ever paid for any of my other cards (yes, even the 512mb).

Here's my dilemma- I don't really need a new SD card, but would love to have extra room. Does anyone think they'll be a steal of a deal on an 8 GB card one day? I mean, if I buy this one- it'll be my luck that an 8 GB goes on this sale: "We'll give each customer $20 + an 8GB card"... I need someone's advice- it's apparent that I am addicted to technology, and I don't want to buy this one and then see an 8 or 16GB card come out at comparable prices (with respect to size of card, i.e. 8GB for around $30).

haha sorry! i was shopping around for the past couple days and i almost bought a 2gb for $15, but i found this deal today and jumped on it immediately.

of course the price of memory gets cheaper and cheaper, but i personally didn't want to wait and 15 bucks for a 4gb with all the necessary adapters is a really great price that i couldn't find elsewhere. it's usually 15 bucks for 2gb mini/micro cards. if anything, black friday is your best bet for all things technology related. then again you'll never buy anything if you always just play the waiting game. this $15 4gb card was perfect for my needs so i went for it. you just have to decide whether or not it's right for you. so pretty much it depends how long you're willing to wait. if you wait for 1-2 months there won't be much change, but things might get cheaper after that. it's all in the waiting game. haha

Here's a couple of 8GB SDHC cards for a little less than double the 4GB price. I'm not concerned about the adapters since I got the MiniSD and full-size SD adapters with the 2GB that I bought. Although that little USB microSD reader with the Kingston deal is pretty cool! :D

The difference between the two is the Speed Class Rating. The first is a Class 4 and the second is a Class 2. I didn't know there were different levels for cards so I was a little leery seeing the C4 and C2 symbols in the picture. So I looked it up. For those that don't know (like me :P) here's what they mean:

"SDHC cards adhere to the SD Speed Class Rating specification which defines a minimum sustained transfer speed and use the FAT32 file system. The SD Speed Class Ratings specify a minimum sustained write speed for SDHC cards (Class 2: 2 MB/s; Class 4: 4 MB/s; Class 6: 6 MB/s) - that's MegaBytes not MegaBits."

UPDATE: OK, those links may act weird... I just clicked one so I could check shipping/taxes and the price is different. It seems to keep changing on Amazon...
