Hi
I was thinking of getting a larger capacity memory card and was wondering if anyone knew whether the Sony M2 or Micro SD is technically better / faster etc?
Any help appreciated - thanks.

The Micro SD is better as it fits inside the phone and it loads the applications faster then the M2. |

I chose a microSD for my K850 for the simple reason that they're more readily available and they're cheaper.

I assume the cheapest place to get the Micro SD's is from e-Bay...?

I'd avoid eBay as there are a lot of fakes. There are some good deals to be had.
I'm not sure what size you want, but, for example:

@Nuclearwind
I don't know what the rules are for posting links to extenal websites are (sorry mods if i'm treading on toes) but my last memory card purchases have all been from Mobymemory
http://www.mobymemory.com/
I've found thier delivery times excellent (order first thing in the morning and you should get it next day) and the prices are very good.
Hope this helps

The K850 supports both.

I'd choose M2 for prestige purposes (as it is expensive  )
I'd Choose Micro-SD if i don't need to be prestigious

M2
I would just like to make it clear that i'm comparing SD with Standard memory stick as the difference between them is only the size and voltage. as to technical design they're all the same. so consider M2 as an MSPD
PROS
1. larger capacity that can support up-to 8GB(not available yet)
AFAIK, it also has the theoretical capacity of 32GB although no MS has gone there before...
2. more reliable on data storage
3. every memory stick is quality made (imagine an Ipod and a $30 mp3 player) just don't buy fakes!
CONS
1. Expensive
2. not many devices supports MS. but if all gadgets you have are sony, you won't have a hard time.
Micro SD
PROS
1. wide range of compatibility
2. cheap
3. more common/acceptable
4. Micro SD is an open platform
CONS
1. the bad side of cheap: many Micros out there are not reliable in data storage. just make sure you buy only well known brands on storage devices like sandisk.
