    I think the 800i only sees 2GB though

    No it should see the full 4gb. It's only when it goes over this that the k800i gets a bit confused.

    The K800i can handle the 4GB M2 cards without any problems. The 8GB cards are not "officially" supported and can cause the phone to slow down when nearly full however a quick google shows that they do actually work.

    Nice deal on this one though, I'm rather tempted...

    Anyone tell me how to get this company to ship to an Irish address? Their google checkout BS is telling me that they won't ship here for some reason

    [edit] actually nevermind, I used the other option and that worked no bother

    Thought postage was excessive on this initially, but it was sent tuesday, arrived this morning...not bad.

    Bought this for a mate's young fella....he wanted to run out and pay €50 for a 2gb one in argos or someplace, his argument being that he didn't need 4gb anyway lol
    Comes with a pro duo adaptor too, if your phone/PSP only takes those. Great deal.

    I just received a 2GB Toshiba MicroSd card from them this morning :)

    Packaging is light but, hey, free postage :D

    I didn't use the google checkout but the "protx" solution.

    I should have said "depending on the item" :)
    ( the website states clearly if postage is free)

    your cards will come in the tiniest plastic box possible :D

    I cannot be 100% sure about the brand of my card though :/

    I know it's a japanese C02G reference which leads me to Toshiba ( there's only one manufacturer of MicroSd cards in Japan, other cards are just rebranded Toshiba cards) but the brand doesnt figure on the card.

    Anyway I've done some tests on it, and speeds confirm that it's a Toshiba.

    Ok, well done for those who understood what I just said :p

    As regards cards being OEM and not fake, I can confirm that the sandisk M2 is above board...I've bought dodgy MS pro duos in the past, transfer times on the sandisk are a fair bit higher and reports as being the correct amount of bytes.
