A similar thing happened to me (not sure whether it's exactly the same or not).
I couldn't access the menu or anything. I could only make calls.
I had to buy a memory card reader, retrieve the data that i needed and then format the card. Then it worked fine.
There's no need to buy a new card.

same thing happened to me when i reformatted using etools. All you have to do is to do a safe boot each time (hold the penicl or abc button each time you turn on the phone?) and everything will be o.k. However after that i don't know what to do cos its really annoying having to do a safe boot each time. I am taking the mmc card back to dixons (third time) to get it reformatted. Its free

I managed to corrupt my MMC card in such way that it wouldn't work after using the *#7370# code...

If this is the case with your MMC, a MMC reader writer is the solution, just format it in a MMC reader / writer and it should work again!

Or easier yet, have a digi cam that uses MMC or SD cards just format it from there. OR better yet: Borrow a digi cam that has MMC or SD support!

saves pounds.. don't ya think the're worth it?! :P
