I'm looking for a 1Gb memory Stick Pro Duo for this phone and have
noticed that Comet is selling one of the 'High Speed' ones - MSX-1GN -
here:

http://www.comet.co.uk/comet/html/cache/618_272221.html

(and in store) for £99.

A bit dear granted. But will this work with the Sony Ericsson K750i?

I am not keen on third party memory because, in the past, I've had
trouble with it - especially SANDISK brand. Also - if your device
develops a fault and you have to take it back to Sony, they blame the
third party memory first.

TIA for any advice.

the W800i is supplied with a 512 Sandisk stick..............so I cannot see
them complaining.

do a Google search and you'll find the Sony ones for £77 and Sandisk £74

for my wife's K750i I bought a Sony 512 off ebay and it did not
work...........it was replaced by the seller.

Thanks all. Your invaluable input and further enquiries have prompted
me to order the Sandisk 1Gb from Picstop:

www.picstop.co.uk

£70 including Royal Mail Next Day Special Delivery.

I see this stick comes with a 5 year guarantee. Plus, since my
original post, I've noticed that the place from where I bought the
phone is selling these same Sandisk sticks for £100. So, looks like
I've saved £30.

Clearly the price of MS memory is coming down. Last Christmas I had to
pay £70 for a 512Mb full-length MS Pro for a Sony camera.

Incidentally - the other bits I bought for the K750i were:

1.The SE deskstand.
2 The SE car charger.
3. Krussell leather case. You can put the phone in the deskstand while
in this case.

Also - I was pleased to learn from another poster here about Nokia's
Multimedia Converter 2.0.

http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/0,,034-63,00.html

Last night I converted an episode of 'Hi-de-Hi' from DVD and it plays
okay on the K750i. But Nokia's app doesn't like DIVX files
unfortunately.

Many thanks again for your help.

I have just ordered (although not yet received) a
Sandisk 1GB Gaming Memory Stick PRO Duo from
www.neodiscs.com for £61.19 including postage.

I am given to understand that the this is similarly
'high speed'. Site was recommended by someone here a
couple of weeks ago.

That was a great price. I just got the 1Mb Sandisk normal (blue) one
this morning from Picstop and it was £70 including delivery. It came
with a MS adaptor. I'd be keen to hear if you think the gaming stick
performs any faster than the standard type. Also - how long from your
date of order did Neodisc take to deliver the product? Today the
Neodisc web price has risen to £64.57 and shipping is 2-3 days (which
suggests they don't have any stock).

Sometimes I shun the cheapest price in favour of a firm with good
stock and a reputation for delivering next day via a 'reliable'
courier, or Royal Mail (who are 99.99999% reliable round this way).

But Picstop were a day late dispatching - so I'll be thinking twice
'next' time.

Mine came today (they had such a demand, generated by this group, that they
had to back-fill orders).

worked first time in my SE-V800 and is a handy size card for video and audio
tracks.

cheers, DavyPaul (at home with too much time on his hands!)

£39, take a closer look..........that's not for the pro duo type.

Sandisk & sony's don't always go.

A good point would be typing in "dsc-p200 error sandisk 1gb" into google and
having a browse.

I know this from my sony p200 camera, and apparently it can stem to phones
too. Wouldn't surprise me if it was sony's fault as opposed to sandisk's.
