Found this on ebay. i have the exact same kit except the 8gig version and I just paid something like 22.95. I wish I woulda waited. Mine is a class 4, I believe this one is class 2.

The usb adapter is awesome. It's tiny. Just make sure you check the usb port for which side the contacts are on since this adapter will fit in backwards.

I'd be weary of purchasing flash memory of any sort off ebay, especially from someone with only 15 feedback. For all I know they may be legit, but there are far too many scams going on with flash memory on ebay. I'd keep to the super high feedback sellers.

It shows the memory formatted to the capacity you bought, but if you try to put more than the card actually holds you get errors.

As I said, it may be legit, but not something I would risk even though I need another sd/microsd card.

Yeah, I didn't think MicroSDHC was set to hit 32GB for a while yet. :?

I was under the impression that if they dump the money from the account and remove the bank/debit/cc from the account that you were screwed out of luck. I remember talking to people a while ago that had to wait a long time to get their money back. That was a long time ago though so . . . less paypal fronts the money and puts holds on the seller.

I'd rather front the extra bit and not have to worry. But that's me. =)

Paypal protection is covered by paypal regardless if the seller falls off the face of the earth. It's a pain though.

They started shipping a few weeks ago. Was always on the roadmap for MicroSD and Sony M2s, but RRP in the UK is £120.

This sums it up perfectly.

Really really need a 32gig card for my Desire. This might be it!

Ahh, I see. Paypal fronts it. The conversation must have been about a scam going the other direction, and the seller's account got locked down till the money was in the account. Makes sense that paypal fronts it for the buyer. Still, going through the whole process seems like a pain.

Plus, whenever I order something the whole week is waiting in excitement/anticipation to get it/tinker/etc. no matter what it is. To get it only to have it be fake, then have to hunt down another, and go through the waiting process all over again would be sucky.

I'll just keep an eye out on newegg, amazon, or other bigger stores for a bigger card.
