MMC Problem, 256 meg Card will not show up at all...

First off, this is my first post. Thank you ..... Thank you very much. Now, I just bought a 3650 on ebay and also had purchased this 256 meg card to install:

Is this not the right card? It is the exact same size as the 16meg card that came with the phone, but it is about twice as thick and does not want to easily slide into the slot like the factory one does. It also has 2 extra contacts on it when held next to the factory one. Now I have searched the forums and haven't found anything to tell me what I need to know, but the one thing I did find is the possibilty that I need to maybe upgrade my firmware to use this size card? Is that the problem? I go into FExplorer and the card isn't even on the list.

The factory card works perfect, as well as the phone itself. No problems there whatsoever, so I know it isn't that. I have read post where MANY people have used a 256 meg card and am wondering if maybe the ones they bought were thinner somehow so you don't need to force it in and out. Is there something special I need to find to have a 256meg card that will work?

I'm sorry I have so many questions, but if anyone can help me I will so much appreciate it.

THANKS!!!

u will need to get an mmc not an sd

Hmmm. So is the auction title false advertising then?? It does say MMC in the auction title. So, what should I look for on ebay to buy that will be the RIGHT card since what I searched for was MMC 256meg? Any recommendations on a certain brand, a link maybe?

Thanks for letting me know!!!
