Does o2 include the memory card in the phone bundle?

Hi all :) Am still very new to this forum so pardon me if this is in the wrong section/have been answered etc.

I searched the forum and combed the internet but can't seem to find the answer (or perhaps I just need sleep :p). Am thinking of getting a W910i from the o2 online store on the online 40 or 35 with a 12 month contract. The phone's free for both of this.

Did a price comparison with Carphonewarehouse and it seems that it would be cheaper getting it direct from o2. I can't do Dialaphone/e2save etc as I've only been here for a month or so (Am a student doing Mech Eng :D).

So yeah, opinions? Oh and the memory card - is it included or do I have to get it separately?

Thanks in advance! :)

    I would phone o2 to ask. I am getting the Sony Ericsson K850i and that comes with a 512mb card.

    with walkman phones you get the memory card as part of the phone package.

    only recently (ie from the k810i onwards) you get memory cards with the k series

    Ah..I see. Thanks mate :) Out of curiosity, how come some sites don't advertise that it comes with the memory card? I don't remember which anymore, but it doesn't say it includes the m2 under "what's in the package".

    I'm aware that dialaphone includes the memory card (since they actually said it). Wish I could get it from them instead but I can't :(

    Is it possible to phone them and get the same (or similar) deal online?

    I guess I could call, but I prefer getting the opinions of people actually having gone through it. Maybe I'll give them a ring sometime soon.



    Anyway, thanks for the input all :)

    o2 have given me memory cards with my last 2 SE phones, although 64mb doesn't hold a lot and a 1gb card is only a little over £10 :)

    Eh? A 1GB M2 cost about 10pounds only? I must've been mistaken then. Gonna go do a price check somewhere then. Hehe.

    So what phone was it that they gave a measly 64mb on? Anyone who've actually purchased the w910i and received a card? I really should call them but keep on forgetting :P

    ok, so £11.50 for a 1GB or £16.90 for 2GB - not a million miles away from £10 :)

    Wow thanks for the link! Was so tired I slept off last night :P

    Anyhow, emailed them and they've replied saying that the memory card does indeed come with the phone! :D

    So I guess that's my question answered :)

    Thanks all for helping out. Much appreciated :D:D

    Ok now is there a thread close function in this forum?

    k750i and the k610i are the only ones i know of that get supplied with 64 mb cards.
  • Thanks gaming=guy :)

    Just to update, I've got the phone from carphone warehouse and they supply a 1GB card :D

    The phone is great! :D

    ps: I can't find a thread close tool so I guess this is it?

    Anyhow, thanks again :)
