i have seen a fujifilm 256mb SD memory card for �90.
now will this work? coz it sounds great and undercuts other by up 2 �50.

everyone tells me differently. its simple will this work in my fone without crashing or do i have to put up with the over priced offical nokia 64mb ones? there is some serious ergency to this so pls help me and help me now!

pls people who use large memory cards re assure me!

thanking all replies in advance

SD cards = Secure Digital cards.

MMC = MultiMedia Card.

An SD device can usually also handle MMC cards (SD is a bit thicker & has additional connecting leads), but a device with an MMC reader cannot use SD (an SD card won't fit an MMC-only slot, usually, and the MMC slot doesn't have the required connectors to access all SD features & of course neither does the device software, thus).

Nokia devices use MMC, not SD.

There are 128MB MMC cards and also 256MB MMC cards and some are sampling 512MB MMC cards, too.

Anything larger than 128MB seems risky.

And some MMC cards are more compatible than others also in smaller sizes.

So, best if you can try before you buy (or purchase it with an option to return the card if it doesn't work).

ok so im after a mmc card instead of sd. thats kool.

128 sounds gd, problem: no where will let me test first!! (its so unfair)
and once packaging is open i cant return. so can ppl reply with manufacture names of cards that do work in their fones well.

i now know im after 128 mb MMC but which make????????

Thanks again

Here is the one I bought..
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=MMC-128MB
Fast delivery,good product!
It has worked beautifully with my phone all this time..Two thumbs up!

Good luck!

Yeah a 128MB MMC card should do, there was a list on here that lists the compatible cards that people have tried, i would guess the Expansys cards are on there seeing as though they are so popular and competitivly priced 😊

and long live smee 😉
