New phone, totally naked

[dreamshark]

My new phone is here! It's a Sony Ericsson W580i that sings, dances, takes pictures, plans your life, counts your steps and (I hope) also makes the occasional phone call. It's totally different from any other cell phone I have ever had (in other words, it's not a Motorola), so I'm finding it a pretty steep learning curve. I already like the interface better than the Motorola one, but I am still but a grasshopper.

For an expensive phone, the package is remarkably sparse. There's a charger and a very nice set of earbuds and that's about it. No case or belt holster, no lanyard, no plastic screen cover, and no memory stick. I didn't expect a BIG memory card, but I thought there'd be something in that slot. The Walkman music feature is pretty much unusable without a memory card. Does anybody have a suggestion of a good place to buy an M2 memory stick cheap? I want something I can pick up locally to get the thing working. I might order a larger card from the Internet later.

Oh, and my old phone that I lost? It was found almost immediately after I placed the order for the new one.

But that's okay. Now I have two.

I bought my phone's memory card at MicroCenter.

For a local purchase, I'd say Micro Center generally.

You're stuck with the weird Sony proprietary cards, so good luck! It'll certainly be more expensive.

My biggest complaint about my Sony Ericsson W710 is the stupid proprietary Memory Stick deal. (Though this came with a 512M card, so I haven't needed to replace it.)

I'm mildly surprised that the MOA doesn't have a SonyStyle retail store.

The Micro Center website (I'll third the recommendation for them) says they have this 4GB card for $35. (Hmm. Maybe I should head down to the Mem Drive store and pick one up for my phone....)

Wow. 4G for $35 doesn't seem all that expensive to me. If I'd bought the stick from the ATT site it would have been $39.99 for a 1G version, $69.99 for 2G and they didn't even have a 4G model.
