When i got my mobile, it came with a 64meg card in it, that had some apps pre installed, included was an office suite.

I just put a 1gb card in, but would like to transfer the office suite too, how do i go about that?

The easiest method is to use a memory card reader with a PC. Copy the entire 64MB to your PC's hard drive and then copy the contents back from the HDD to the new 1GB card. MMC memory card readers are cheap as chips these days.

You can download the apps from the Nokia Support site (or at least some of the ones that came with the phone and were on the MMC). Otherwise do a backup and restore using PC Suite or do a manual file copy / paste process suing the File Manager component of PC Suite.

oh, excellent, ill go check out the nokia site now =)

got it, thanks alot for the help.

And when downloading from the site is an advantage because you download the latest versions.

But really easy, fast and recommended is a memory card reader

You could move the C:\System\Apps\xxxxxx folder to the E:\System\Apps\ folder using FExplorer.

Good luck =)

True True,

But when I decide to delete an app. some day, then I can't delete the app. with my App. manager, can I ?

I know this post is only slightly related to this topic so my apologies...

Since you mention that you can simply copy contents from one memory card to another I assume that there is no strict file ordering (by FAT16 'disc' sector) but just by the FAT16 table. If this is true could I also defragment my 1Gb card using my PC & flash-card reader.

My motivation for considering this is that I've noticed that the N70's RAM-MMC interface bandwidth is about 1mb/s but access times can be quite bad, so by defragmenting i could *potentially* improve performance (and reliability in the long-run?).
