Cheap Micro SD Memory Card (8GB)
July 25, 2008
How cheap are memory cards going to get?
Around 18 months ago I bought a 2GB Micro SD card for my Orange E650 mobile phone which cost me just over £20 at the time, I’ve now come to buy a memory card for my new HTC Tytn II mobile phone and found that I could get an 8GB Micro SD card for just £17.99.

Normally when I get a new toy (gadget), I’m really pleased with it and want to play with it, however in this case, there was just something about it that didn’t impress me and was considering sending it back, perhaps because it was so much more chunkier than my previous Orange C500 smartphone.
I persevered with it due to it’s increased features over my old mobile and it’s really grown on me, particularly the slide-out QWERTY keyboard which makes text input so easy, also the PC synchronisation with Microsoft Outlook is really helping to organise me much better as I can sometimes be a procrastinator if I allow things to overwhelm me.
