Nokia 6230 memory card limit ?
I'm upgrading my phone so I thought I'd give my old 6230 to my daughter. I bought a 512Mb RSMMC so she could use it as an MP3 player, since the 32Mb card already in it was a bit weedy. I put the card in and formatted it, but it only comes out at 80Mb. I tried the card in a newer Nokia phone and the card formatted to 512Mb. Is there a memory card size limit on the 6230 and if so is there a way around it so I can use a bigger memory card, like a firmware upgrade or something ?

Its the updated 6230i that takes the RSMMC cards but I aint 100% sure they have a 512mb limit.
Hope that helps

MobyMemory claim to have a 2GB MMC for a 6230/6230i but it needs formatting via a PC first. They have some handy tips on their website.

The RSMMC came with an adaptor so it would fit the full size slot in the 6230. I have no means of formatting the card with the PC (no cardreader - only Bluetooth connection to phone) Is there any way to format the card to its full potential using the phone ?
[edit] This post seems to have answered my question - looks like I'll have to buy a sodding cardreader as well !! Thanks for the replies ..

But how do you get all the information on to the card though?
The IR/cables are sooo slow, taking the card out and using a USB/reader is a pain.
I just gave up.

I finally relented and bought a cardreader from Mobymemory, which will be handy as it also reads Sony memory sticks so I can put MP3s on it when I get the W800i. I tend to use Bluetooth as well for tranferring the odd file as it's less faff than prising the card out the phone everytime I need to put a file on it.
