Hello,

I am sorry if this has been asked But here goes,

I would like to buy a card reader, for my Nokia 6600, would you recommend a make, not looking to spend to much as Christmas and the New Year festive season has left me broke.

I am running win98se ( I know old hat BUT it's stable andI am in the process of building a new computer)

I would ideally like a card reader that will read my camera cards etc SO I guess a multi reader is what I am afer.

Ok last thing with regards to covers has anybody fitted a Carbon Fiber one as per ebay?

Are they any good fitting wise?

many thanks for your time.

PS any links to cheap/good memory card/reader sites would really make my day.

Over and out 😊 :icon14:

regards

Getting a bigger card and reader is the best thing you could do.

If u dont have a bigger card, i recommend this one:

I got it and has never given me any problems.

I got a multireader that reads 9 different cards like SD and MMC and XD at FRYS for like 10 bucks. NOt sure if u have a FRYS store in your area tho.

These r good deals online also for reader/writer:

For a reader it doesnt really matter the brand just make sure its a READER/WRITER, not just READER.

Make sure if your PC has USB 2.0, get one that supports USB 2.0 so it will b faster.

Make sure it supports MMC and whatever other cards u have.

Hope my 2cents helped, L8tr.

Oh and as for the cases. NO WAY. The ones on the internet are cheap an flimsy. Most people end up breaking the original case trying to take it off and then when they put in the replacement it is so flimsy and cheap it breaks also and they r stuck. Id say wait a bit for better cases to be made or shop for one in person so u can check out the material.

hello @dam,

thankyou for the input, most helpful, I have ordered a reader.

As regards to the carbon cover a mate in the Far East sent me an email asking if I would like one.

many thanks
