I recently sent my Nokia 6280 in for repair and I got it back today after they had it for a week.

I have managed to lose my memory card for it and I was wondering where people buy theres from. Can you recommend a website to go to?

Don't suggest ebay please as I have noticed that the four I bought off ebay are fake and one has died. Crying or Very sad

All the best

Hi

Problem isn't so much that the fakes don't work, more that they are a lot slower than the real thing. And for the price you are paying you could buy an equally fast low spec real Sandisk with a warrenty.

All the best

Moby Memory are pretty good too, especially for dedicated phone cards like the ones for Sony phones.

Thats what annoyed me when one of the cards that I bought off ebay stopped working, just refused to be read and that was a fake. Therefore I lost some video footage from when the bullet camera was on the bike.

Thanks for all everybodys suggestions for websites I ended up buying some from Play.com as the prices were quite competitive.

Can't Sandisk do a 8gb compact flash card you could some pictures on there!

There are 16gb CF cards around. I use a couple of 2gb ones normally.

All the best

Asda!

Weirdly.. they have been the cheapest ive found a few times and if it goes wrong (which flash memory does sometimes if you use it allot) you simply take it back, last time i did i got a 512 replacement for a 256 that had bust Thumbs Up

If you were a git you could repeate this every 12 months.
