Just recieved the first shipment of Memory Stick Duo 64MB MagicGate, the MSG-M64A cards. Formatted it in the P800, used a card-reader to copy the contents of the old 16MB card, and put the 64MB back in the phone. Works like a charm... Here's a couple of pictures for you to enjoy..😊 PS: Sorry for the lousy quality of the two pictures below, but they were shot in a hurry...

And yes, I had some stuff on the card already when I took the screenshot of the installation, so the 52,7MB free space is not the whole card...😃

Opheim.com,

Thanks for providing the proof.

Now, where in Norway can I get me some?(MG MS DUO)

Can you lock the MG 64 MB cards mechanically? That little write-protective lock on the backside of the cards...?

is this the one you guys talking about?

What's the difference between our normal 16MB and 64MB MG MemStick Duo besides the capacity? I mean what is MagicGate?

lazzy..

The blue one is the regular one. You can use it for everything except Sony Mp3 players. Because when you convert a song to the format which fits on the memory stick. The blue one doesnt support it

The white one...MagicGate supports everything.

[quote="CorruptedSanity"]thanks for sharing and reassuring us !

May I know where you bought it from?!

thanks ![/quote]�

I'm a dealer, so I order directly from Sony Norway.

Seeing as Sony has them, I assume most shops dealing with Memory Stick products should be able to get you one. The part number is MSG-M64A, so just pop into your local Sony-dealer, and tell'em to get it.

Yep, that's the one. Also, forgot to mention, every stick is delivered with a standard Memory Stick Adaptor, similar to the one included with the P800.

The MG version has a technology for copyright-protected material. This technology is not supported on the P800, but it works fine as a memory-card.

Yes, just the same as the regular blue one.

[quote="opheim.com"][quote="Me"]I've seen there's magic gate 128, but are this duo[/quote]

Might be, but it's not out yet. The 128MB Duo-card (MSG-M128A) is said to start shipping March 21st, as stated in Sony's press-release regarding the Network Walkman, NW-MS70D.

Read an english translation here:

The Norwegian Computershop www.komplett.no says on their web, that they need only 5 days to get the 128MB Duo card. Their prices in Norwegian crowns is:
- 32MB - 500,-
- 64MB - 654,-
-128MB - 1,046,-
This is included taxes...

For the full prospect. I will send them an e-mail to confirm the five day delivery for the 128 MB Duo-card... 😊

The regular one ( blue ) and magic gate (white) works just the fine.
But MG cost more, becoz it supports some copyright feature.

It makes no difference to your P800.
However, for Memory Stick Duo, currently only the magic gate version comes in sizes bigger than 64mb ( for now ).
