by I recently purchased a 2GB MicroSD memory card for my mobile phone and discovered a surprising variation in the prices, especially when it came to the shipping charges from the Irish-based sites. It beats me why they have to charge so much for a device that is about the same size as your smallest finger nail.
In any case the cheapest offering was from 7 Day Shop and the card duly arrived within the time promised with no hidden charges appearing on my credit card statement.
