>> I think that SE believes that 128mb is enough for a mobile.

And therein lies the problem. The Px00 is not JUST a phone. With all the extra functionality and especially the ability to play audio/video 128MB just isn't enough. I could live with 256MB to hold maybe 3 albums (although more would be nicer) and still leave plenty of room for other application etc.

Would it not be possible to make one of those MS's that was like two in one and you flicked the switch on them to change to the other 128MB? I could live with taking it out and flicking the switch. In fact, that might even be good to stop prying eyes.

Ah well, don't even have my P900 yet, but come next Monday (or hopefully this Friday) I'll be the proud owner of one and my girlfriend can have the P800. Then she can play twinfruits whenever she wants for as long as she wants!

The point of having bigger memory sticks is that you dont have to take out a duo and alter the switch

If you dont mind taking out a switchable duo to alter the switch then what is stopping you getting 2 128Mb duos and swap them when you need to

After all its exactly the same principle either way

@Defiant:

Yes the Pro spec says FAT32 - which means that Symbian OS 7.0 based phones can't use them (there is no FAT32 file system driver, although I believe it has been backported from version 8).

BUT - the format is in NO way embedded in the hardware. FAT16 can support drives up to 2G by using larger cluster sizes, so if you simply format the MS-DUO-PRO with FAT16, it will work. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in software or hardware to prevent that.

I see what you're saying but the problem with this is that I then have to carry two sticks around. I know a lot of people put one under the back cover but I've never managed to get one to fit comfortably, the battery cover always seems lose. In fact, even if it did fit, that would then mean I could carry two of the double ones.

Just wondering, because you could buy the full-size MS's that were like this couldn't you. Would have been better than nothing.

This issue is really getting old.

It is getting old isn't it? But @thread starter: go back to work (or ask a co-worker), get the update, even if it's not release quality, and let us all have a go at it.
