The phone i'm looking at takes either mini-sd or reduced size sd (it's not clear but it looks like there are TWO small SD formats, SD is only postage stamp sized to start with!). Memory card readers now seem to read about 16 formats - the only consolation is that flash memory is already getting disposable cheap.
I had a search last night and cant find it anywhere in the UK and i've, of course, left it a little late to get one before i go away so it might be an iRiver anyway. i think a tour of London's Tottenham Court Road (electronics boulevard) is in order.
I'm with you on this overabundance of flash memory formats. I'd like
it if my camera and MP3 player used the same, but alas it is xD and SD.

More about the LDP200. First, cost. It's ludicrously cheap. You can
get the version without a bundled SD card for less than US$40, and you
can pick up SD cards (not necessarily Lexar of course) for about
$50-$60 per GB. As with anything, I'd hate to lose it or have it
stolen, but if that happens I'll feel a lot better than if I lost an
iPod.
