Micro SD card

Hi,

I need a Micro SD card for my wife's phone. Is this the same as a "PNY USB 2.0 Micro Attache 2GB Memory Stick" sold in PC World? Here

    No - memory stick is a Sony "standard".

    You need something like this:

    Note you get twice the memory for around half the price! Post free...

    [edit: BTW, check that her phone is SD-HC compatible - if it's recent it ~probably~ is]

    I think fwor is a bit off there though. MemoryStick is indeed Sony's own format of flash memory cards - but what the OP seems to be referring to is what most people call a USB stick, or memory stick, or that thing that broke off my laptop. Confusing world isn't it?! Avoid PC World if you can for this kind of stuff, and indeed, the high street. Play, Amazon and mymemory.com are all good for any memory cards, including microSD.
