Like some new N70 owners, I made the mistake and bought a Sandisk RS-MMC card only to find out it didn't work. Now my question is what brand are you guys/ladies using? and recommend

A Generic Samsung one for roughly $40 CAD shipped to Canada from Hong Kong.
PQI MMC Mobile / Kingston for $45 CAD shipped from the USA
TOP RAM for $40 CAD shipped to canada.

The prices are for 1 gig, I don't want to go through buying a card that will not work, thanks.

Using a Transcend 1 GB DV RS-MMC in my N70, works fine. Paid USD25 or thereabouts for it.

Surprised to hear you have problems. Did you make sure to get a Dual-Voltage card? Sometimes marketed as MMCMobile.

A standard RS-MMC card won't work, as the N70 runs it off 1.8V instead of 3V.

Also, not sure about 2 GB card support, so I got the 1 GB to be safe (I still have like 920 MB free, so it's not like I'm starved for space atm).

Cheers,
V.

thanks for the replies...I'll probably just buy a Kingston card not sure with the generic samsung or top gear.
