Is this not insanely cheap??? The lowest price I've seen in store is $60+ for 4GB with a max speed class of 2. I ordered one but am I missing something?

Yeah, that's a decent deal for a Class 4. The best I've seen was a 1 day sale at PCVOnline which had them for 19.99 + 5.99 shipping. (Looking forward to a time machine comment ) Just too bad it wasn't a Class 6 though.

Is Patriot brand reliable though? I heard they were buggy with different devices, I'll be using it with my Blackberry.

Also, what's the difference between the ones made in Japan vs elsewhere?

Hey that's an awesome deal! Just ordered one op! Thanks! I wish I could pm this at Futureshop but I don't think they sell the 4gb Kingston MicroSDHC the highest I've seen there is 2gb Kingston MicroSD....correct me if I'm wrong

I remember that, I wasn't fast enough to get on of the 3 they actually had available...

Unfortunately I would have to add another $10 for shipping.

Hmm really? I've heard pretty much only good reviews from Patriot, save the few unlucky souls who get dud products, which is bound to happen everywhere. Plus I've heard their customer service reps are great.

Not sure about Japan vs elsewhere though.

I have a Patriot microsd in my phone (ipaq 510). No problems.

kingston's arent made in japan, but "assembled" in japan. (most likely parts from china and taiwan)
if its made in japan, i think at least 50% of the product is made there while assembled is less than 50%

pc village has the 2 gb microSD for $12.95, so 4 gb would be $26 if you pickup, but would be more if you require shipping.

Buying electronics on eBay is like sleeping with a cheap hooker. Sure you pay less, but in two weeks you'll have no idea what she gave you.

A lot of electronics sales on eBay are fake brand name devices. Not saying everything is, a lot of reputable buyers. But beware of electronics sales coming out of China.

I concur...bought a 2Gb SD "Sandisk" from a selller with...22000+ positive feedback. The card died after 2 months ...guess what: this "power seller" dissapears for good before taking any action against him.
Bottom line: especially if you're buying a card for a digital camera, spend the extra $$$ for your piece of mind. Those vacation pics are worth 100x more than the card.

I agree. A lot of stuff there is counterfeit. And the good counterfeits are virtually indistinguishable from the real thing on the surface.
