Micro SD. 2Gb is the biggest available right now. Beware of fakes on eBay. I bought mine from NewEgg but you can just do a google search on the internet for "MicroSD" and you should find lots of them. Get a brand name like SanDisk or Corsair.

Newegg, Fry's and Tigerdirect are good sites to get these microsd cards. They're also probably the best price-wise. If you're gonna do movies and music and keep them on without swapping them out.....get the 2gig. I have 40mb left on my 1gig already with only music.

Please elaborate. Are you saying that not all MicroSD cards work with the Pearl? I have a 1GB Dane Electric MicroSD card that works perfect.

I'm saying there are fake, name branded, SD cards on eBay. That doesn't mean ALL cards on eBay are fake as I'm sure they're not. But people purchase them at an "awesome" price only to find that they have problems with them later. In my experience you get what you pay for in memory as far as quality, speed, and reliability and product support. That being said, any brand of MicroSD should work in the Pearl.

Ah, IC. I think at this point, most consumers should know that Ebay is full of fake stuff.
