People, understand what you read:
"The Sony Ericsson K750/S700i/P800/P900/P910i/V800/Z800i/Z1010 can
currently only use file system FAT16 on the Memory Stick." "The file system FAT16 can support sizes up to 2 GB." <- information about the filesystem ITSELF, not the phones capabilities (it does not imply that all those phones will handle those; this only means that they COULD handle up[ to 2gb 'data blocks')

Then, if what has been stated is true - combining the FAT16 restriction on the aformentioned phones, and FAT16's 2gb restriction when used on these phones, we should be concluding that 2gb is in fact the maximum capacity for the models listed here.

@ Jasond l think so too,if the phones use FAT16 and the MS has FAT16 then they CAN handle up to 2GB.I think it's possible.I guess we'll have to wait untill someone tries it,especially on P800/900.

Hi

The P800 and P900 cannot use more than 128MB because of firmware limitations. The slot is able to support it, but the firmware that reads it cannot. That is why when you upgrade a P900 to P910 firmware, the bigger sticks start to work. It isnt a hardware limitations, but a software/firmware.

ehhm read this carefully and try to see the wrong things= The Sony Ericsson K750/S700i/P800/P900/P910i/V800/Z800i/Z1010 can
currently only use file system FAT16 on the Memory Stick.

did you see it??

the w800 isn't listed, but i thought it was mainly the same thing as a k750. this should mean that k750=fat16 w800=fat32. STRANGE!!

well I recently bought a 2gb pro duo off ebay the MSX-M2GN card, poped it into my p910i and it worked. I renamed it and then set about an upload with the SE software via the dock connector. The upload went incredibly slow about 100meg in 30 mins and then i get a fatal error saying the disk is corrupted this seems to me like there is a problem. I am in the process now of sending it back to the ebayer and getting a replacement, im then going to format it with my card reader in the computer, upload in windows and hope it works in the phone. Is there a way 2 format these cards in windows to Fat16?
