Why is everyone going mad over the 128mb duo and hunting it down like poachers after ivory when u can buy two 64mb duos and with the money u save buy a memory carry case tooo?????????????????????

Because they want to put more than 64Mb worth of music on the card? (And not have to switch cards all the time)..

Just a thought 😉

😮

Um, I think it's the inconvenience of having to carry mem sticks around and swapping it all the time.

I bought a 128MB stick duo from www.p800er.com for �78 and I'll be honest, I would never consider a 64MB stick, even if it was for �40.

Same with my Muvo mp3 player, you can fit almost 30 songs on a 128MB player (which I bought), but only 12 on the 64MB player (after formatted, there'll be 60MB left).

128MB is the way to go!!

Once you start using the p800 as a pda 128 is almost enough.. for mp3 player its tight.. and for playing movies its just silly..

dunno, you can fit at least 2hrs on one stick - just depends if you want anything else on there as well. When the 128 comes down in price I will have one stick for movies and one for general data.

I'm based iin the UK and considering a 128 stick from p800er.
Do you have to pay tax etc. I note the price is something like �94 including air mail recorded delivery?

I'm also interested to know how everyone transfers the data they want to the phone because the usb station is never usb speed. I would imagine to transfer say 30mb of data would take over30minutes????

Well as for me, I already have 1 128 stick and Im getting one more as soon as I can afford one 😊 I wish there was a switchable duo coming out 😞

It's basically pot luck.. I didn't have to pay tax, others have had to.. Mine was marked as a gift though, and with a value of $50, which meant it was inelligable for tax..

Basically, it's a lottery I'm afraid, as to whether you get a Royal Mail person who can't be bothered, or one who's name is Jobsworth..

And for transferring data, I use either a multi-card reader, or the MS slot on my Sony laptop..

Well I wouldn't like to switch either!!!! I ordered my 128 as well, it should be in tomorrow!

BTW "MR Man", what makes you say that 2 64's are cheaper than 1 128??? At p800er or brando a 64 is $70 and a 128 is $120. When I do my math correctly, 2 64's are $140, 1 128 is $120....
Oh, if you really don't mind switching "MR Man", why don't you buy 8 16MB cards 😃 😉

Thanks for all ur comments, i am going to buy a 128mb now, i know a shop in london where i can buy these so will but one tonight, jus wanted to see ur response and i definately can see the 128 is much better. Tnak you
737 UR A JOKER, no need to funney u dummey

Bwahahahaha 😊 Or 16 8 mbs? 😃

You wont regret getting the 128 😊 and once you start downloading the movies, oi! it wont be enough!! 😊

OR... when you can get 128mb for $57-75 USD a pop why bother buying 64s. I passed on 64s that were selling for $45 USD, but never considered it. I knew I would run out of memory. That's why I bought 2 128s.. I'm at 92% capacity with the second one already. I use the P800 more then my Ipaq which I maxed out a 1gig flash on already. I find myself overloading the P800 with software and media files.

So buying 2 sticks to compensate for what 1 can do is not effective. How would one propose playing a 120mb media file on 2 sticks? You can split it, but is that really practical? I can't wait until the system can break the 128mb limit.
