It seems that the fall in the value of the dollar has not stopped the fall in the price of memory or lots of other electronic gear.

It's not a mini or micro SD though, is it?

Can you get it in Canada? Rebate is only for US customers, right?

doppers | # 5 | 2008-08-16, 16:49 | Report

No, I tried and wasn't able to have it shipped to Canada but thought some of the US forum members may be interested.

I may get this one in Canada:

It's not mini or micro but from what I understand from some of the posts here, the plastic casing can be removed and the chip inside is small enough to fit inside the NITs.

I have yet to try this mod myself though so I could end up voiding the warranty on it. *crosses fingers* Perhaps someone else can confirm. Currently I'm using a Kingston 2GB on my 770 running os2008he so I can only vouch for it.

*update*This is the other post I read with info about cutting regular SD cards open

I ended up purchasing this card and haven't yet tried making it work.

O.o should work for the n800 without any card hacking though, right?

Yes full sized cards work in my new n800 just fine. This was totally worth the purchase. I wasn't expecting such a speed increase.
