Hello everyone, this may sound silly but does anyone know of a good shop or anyone online selling 8GB microSD card?

I used to buy from this person on yahoo auctions but its been down indefinitely and I don't have his contacts. Is Sim Lim Square a good place? What do you guys recommend?

Thanks a lot in advance !

Get from Sim Lim square, forgot the level but the shop is manned by indians, quite good prices for their memory cards...

Oh okay, terribly sorry .

How much would a 8GB microSD card cost?

BTW does anyone know if there is a 16GB microSD here yet?

Thanks !!!

Sandisk Class 6 8GB microSD card should cost less than $80 IIRC. 12GB microSD cards have not arrived yet, let alone 16GB ones.

Thanks so much man, but what does class 6 mean?

SDHC cards come in 3 classes: Class 4, 6 and 8. These indicates their minimum data transfer rate in MB/s.

that indian shop does sell cheap for sure, there have a few shops there and if I can recall next to escalator level 4 there is one on the left. Its shop name is "something"foto

Activefoto?

Oh... Haha... Thanks a lot. So am I right to say that if I buy a 8gb class 4 would be cheaper than class 6 or 8 right?

Yes, Sandisk also has a 8GB Class 4 microSD card on sale. The Class 6 one comes with a free USB microSD (SDHC-compatible) card reader.

I always buy from best bargain from sim lim.. cheapest.. last I read 8gb around $50+

Umm... okay but dont think i'll need it. Saw the 8GB Class 4 at cyberactive today for 60+ i think.

50+??? Wow! Do you remember what store was that?

I bought the Sandisk Class 4 8GB microSD with adapter from BxxxBargxxx at $50.60 3 weeks ago.

Umm... where is that place? is it at Sim Lim too?

Sim Lim Square 5th flr, exit the lift, turn left walk all the way and you will see that shop on your right.

Best Bargain at SLS is at #05-02.

Yah, get it from Best Bargain, one of the..er.. best bargain in SLS for memory cards, especially Kingston.

Erm, something you guys should be taking note of is that some shops does parallel imports which is the main reason that they can sell the items at a cheaper price. But claiming warranty would be tougher.

Though it cost a few dollars more at more reputable shops that only take from local distributor and the claiming of warranty would be much more breeze.

At SLS, don't just look for the cheapest price, but rather which distributor the shop takes it stuff from. I learnt it the hard way, the downtime is not worth the few dollars you save in the first place.

For Sandisk card from local distributor, can take a look at one of the shops at the 3rd floor selling routers, pdas and accessories. Pretty competitive price i would say.
