Currently, I'd be happy with 512MB. If there were a stick that worked, I'd buy it.

I currently just have my original 16MB stick, and I don't use my P800 to it's full potential. Even if I bought a 128MB Duo, it wouldn't be enough, so I haven't bought one. I might buy a 256 if it worked and I couldn't get a 512.

Can't be bothered with the swapping about lark either.

I think I need more that 128MB, so I do need about 256MB! I only have about 10mb left at the moment on my 128mb card. I would like to store about 30 mp3s (enough for say 2 hour train journey) plus all the other apps, ebooks and MS Office documents for viewing.

I'd really like 256mb, to fit in lots of music and still have space for some video, bucketloads of apps and anything else I might want. With 128mb you could have two hours of mp3s at 128kbit, but little else.

Chaps, the new Duo 128mb MSs (i.e. MSH-M128A) are as low as UKP59 now on eBay. Given that they are just reaching the market - these things are likely to get even cheaper. Now given that http://www.expansys.com are claiming that the 256mb will be UK90, I suspect the 128 mb MS may get as low as UKP50! May be worth buying another one just for MP3s if the 256MB cards don't work with the P800.

Stop press: Duo 128mb now down to UKP54 on eBay

Add £10 for internat shipping, and import tax+vat of 22.5%. It'll be cheaper to buy from Europe I think.

Still, the prices are dropping like a stone. It might be they've figured out how to make MS at the same cost as securedigital, in which case prices could fall to £30

i wouldnt agree to the price dropping like a stone. I see it dropping more like a well constructed paper aeroplane. Furthermore who says custopms will latch on???? never have they charged me import tax on all my imported goods. 51GBP is a good price if i wanted one i may bid. But i dont at the mo. [addsig]

Looks like you guys really happy with the price of 128MB Duo lately. Let me tell you something, if SE make the P800 compatible with the DuoPro you will be even happier eventhought you don't need more than 128MB, because the price of the 64mb and 128MB will fall even further.

Hi All,

I've just called up DOML Singapore and they do keep a couple of 256MB DUOs which they cannot sell cos it's not working with the P800 as they had tried it with 2 phones w/o any success.

However, they do sell the MSH-M128A which is the new dark greyish one that's supposed be supporting high speed transfer. This one does work with the P800.

I will be going down to visit them as soon as I can to try out the 256MB on my R2F firmware P800 to see if it works.

Here's the link to their website:

Cheers

And..? Can you feel any difference on the P800 now you have a "faster" MS Duo or like i think, it doesn't change anything on the phone...

128mb is still the maximum for a MS Duo (architecture don't allow more then that)

And if you had read the thread instead of just asking, you would have know that 5 or 6 people here did try a MS Duo Pro and a MS Pro on the P800 without any succes.... seems not to work (actually?)
