Yeah your right guys it's not DV. Also brought a mem card reader that will read any card except my kingston. Just trying to transfer data from card to re format it again, having a few problems.

Wouldnt recommend that anyone brought a kingston 512 card for the N70, i've had nothing but problems with mine.

I decided to go for a 512mb card from http://www.mobilefun.co.uk £28 Inc Del,

It's an intergral card and despite having problems with their MMC, this one seams to work fine in my N70,

I've loaded a few MP3's on it, Also loaded TomTom on it which is still working at the moe, (V5.000)

Will let you know if the card stops working or plays up,

Carl,

Yeah, I've been running 1GB in my N70 since Dec 05 and never had a problem I got mine from Mobymemory.

I also bought a 1gig card from "MobyMemory" I ordered it at 2.55pm, and it arrived the very next morning.

A 1gig card is £25.99. So very well priced, and a swift service, so i dont know about the best, but they are certainly the best ive come across

MobyMemory

Ive had no problems yet, however i would reccomend getting a mem card reader from somewhere, as tranferring files to my phone through the data cable is painfully slow, around 30 secs per MB.

I bought a 1GB Kingston MMC Mobile yesterday - no problems so far on my 3.0546.2.3 firmware N70, with the card 80% full. Will keep you posted.

I still find it hard to believe that a particular make could cause problems, though....

I think it was about £28? Something like that. Seemed incredibly cheap. I remember buying my first Psion SSD. 128k, it cost £40!

I have a 2 cards of 1Gb rs-dv MMC from Mobymemory, and branded the same way, since November. One in a N70 and the other in a N-Gage QD. No problem at all. The delivery service of Mobymemory, from them to Portugal, is one or two working day, without any problem at all.

The data read/write speeds for the Kingston card seem appalling. Video recording on the N70 to card was next to impossible, with horribly jerky capture. I went back to my US TECH 512MB card and all was fine again.

I strongly suspect, as mentioned by others, that the slow access speeds are also responsible for occasional breakdowns in the integration of apps into the Menu system.

The Kingston card seems OK in my wife's 6630, used for MP3s, but I'm not going to buy Kingston again......

Anyone know of any definitive benchmarks between makes? Maybe we should compile our own?

Very quick and unscientific, but by using FExplorer to copy a largish (3MB) file to my 512Mb US TECH card (from C: to E, it came up about 1MB/sec write speed.

The 1GB Kingston, on the other hand, came up at 0.3MB/sec write speed.

Can you chip in with your own tests of write speed? Thanks.
