try www.mobymemory.co.uk, very good site, the 8gb micro sdhc is cheap.
id go for the sandisk not the cheapo version.
also the 16gb aint too badly priced.

I'd go for a combo MicroSDHC with an SD and if possible Mini SD adapter
Simply my preference as I have other devices that can also use various sized SD cards

The spec says 'micro-sd'. Does that include micro-sdhc? What about ultra high speed cards?

The sdhc term is explained here but basically if it's over 2GB it is going to be SDHC.

Memory seems to be the one thing that doesn't reduce in price for bulk purchase: the 16gb is more than twice the price of the 8gb. Which is... odd.
I shall go for the sandisk 8gb sdhc, I think... and maybe look to a 16gb for later in the year.

Having solved my problem with DVD ripping, I now need somewhere to store my extensive library of 1960s and 70s childrens TV. So I need something more than the little 2gb card I popped in to the n900 just to run back-ups onto.
The spec says 'micro-sd'. Does that include micro-sdhc? What about ultra high speed cards?
Basically, what do people recommend? And if anyone in the UK would like to look at Amazon and make a suggestion... I have money ready to burn on Storing Bagpuss.
(Right now I'm debating thisor if I'm feeling really extravagant this.. will those work?)
