Looking for cell phone accessories.

[The Midget]

Aloha, amigos y amigas. First time through these parts, so bare with me.

I've recently picked up an LG enV, and am looking to accessorize by picking up an 8 GB microSD card (for music storage) and a Bluetooth headset (for safe-ish talking in the car and listening to said music.)

As it stands, the best deal I can find for an 8 GB microSD card (without resorting to eBay) is about $70 through NewEgg. Preferably, I would like to keep it at $40 or below, but I highly doubt I could dig that kind of deal up.

Regarding the Bluetooth setup, I've checked out the previous thread posted by Valor, but $75 for the Plantronics Voyager 855 (via Amazon) seems a bit steep. Woot's recent deal met with less-than-stellar reviews, so I'm at a bit of a loss as to a cheap -- but at least decent -- setup. Note that I'm looking for a complete headphone set (microphone and two ear buds), not just the earpiece akin to Valor's post.

TL;DR version: LF 8 GB microSD card and Bluetooth headphones/earpiece combo.

Got a Jarba for 40 bucks at Verizon, the store itself.
Also got a 4 gig card at Fry's for 20-something.

Hope it helps some how..maybe check those stores?

I realize it's been a long while, but there is an update to this lil' excursion:

1. First and most importantly, I appreciate the help, VM. Unfortunately, the nearest Fry's is in Atlanta, and the web site did not offer much. TigerDirect.com's prices left a lot to be desired (approximately $80+), while NewEgg only recently started listing 8gb MicroSDHC cards (at around $65-$80).

Amazon, on the other hand, is offering one for $52 new/$46 from other vendors. Still a bit much given my current budget situation, but those are some numbers for any other interested parties.

2. Regarding the headphone/headset issue, I've opted to go with a standard Bluetooth headset. At the risk of referring/advertising, I'll be brief and state that I utilized a method from DaChinPin's post:

In closing, apologies for the huge bump, but since I had dug up some potentially helpful information, I opted to share.
