Best RS-MMC / MMCMobile supplier?

[thoughtfix]

Where is the best place to get 512M/1GB RS-MMC or MMCMobile cards?
I shop locally whenever possible (makes exchange/problem solving easier,) but this particular memory card isn't in stock at Fry's, CompUSA, Circuit City, or Best Buy and no other retailers would have these.

So yeah - I'm open to suggestions as to "who you trust" and who gives the right price online.

I should clarify my experience with Best Buy:
I wrote it all out here (http://thoughtfix.blogspot.com/2006/01/retail-trash-part-2-best-buy.html)


Don't trust their web site to to accurately portray what they really have in store. Don't trust your gift card balance to come back after you cancel an order. Basically: Don't trust anything until you have it in your hands and pay for it at the register.

Fry's miraculously found one someone else returned. It's the SanDisk 512. I got it for $49 with a 5-year warranty that Fry's will honor. Now to see what BestBuy does with that mess...

Got a 1gig sandisk from buy.com for 75.99. I just got it today. Seems to be working well. Free shipping. Forget looking in stores...they only got up to 512.

FYI - The Kingston MMC Mobile is dual voltage where I believe the Sandisk is not. Consequently, the Kingston will save on battery.

I looked at the different sites mentioned here -- couldn't even find this card at buy.com and Amazon sent me to a Yahoo store.

At these stores and on the web, I found prices ranging from $69.95 to $99 for a 1 GB card in the U.S. The lowest price I found added approximately $14 for shipping and handling, so it wasn't really the lowest.

I was about to buy from meritLine, at $74.95 plus $1.99 shipping when I discovered an additional $6.50 handling charge. I wasn't sure I had the right card and I checked the Kingston site to make sure. There I followed a link to Computers4SURE.com, "an Office Depot company."

The price there is (I ordered just five minutes ago) $73.95 and free shipping. This is for the 1 GB Kingston dual-voltage card.

I'll report back on my experience with this order, good or bad, when the mmc card arrives.

Edited to add: Next morning, an email tells me the item has shipped.

Also, I see that the next post links to the buy.com and amazon pages where you can see/buy a 1 GB card.
