ok guys... its working!
512 -> 1024!
But not with all, it works with some cards and phones and with others it dont!
and you dont even need any programs, its working with the Disk Manager from WinXP (I dont have Win2000 so I could not test it).
First of all, I am not responseble for any loss of data or any damage of your Hardware. But I can tell you that there is no need to be afraid that the hardware will be damaged. You can, if you have problems, put the memorystick in phone and format it in the phone and everything is ok again...
- Save your stuff from the memorystick.
- Put the stick in the phone (only tested with K750i)
- stick the phone to the cable
- start Disk Manager, you will see the formated and the unallocated space
- mark the Drive icon (of the phone) in the above table, where your partitons are indicated
- If marked, a X type icon appears under the "FILE | ACTION...etc" menu, the X type Icon is for deleting...
- press it and it will delete your partiton for the memorystick, then you have 1 big partiton which is unallocated
- now just make a new partion, and format it using FAT or FAT16
- thats it... now you turned your 512 mb stick into a 1024 stick
I tested it right after doing it and I was able to put more than 600 mb on it, but it had some problems, the phone went of everytime I turned the cam on. But thats actually it. I think its because I stored a Image file which was bigger than 500 MB... its working now perfect, I deleted the 500 mb big image file...
if more problems occur I will let you know...

OK I have a question. Waht are the odds of, if I buy a 512MB sandisc it will be a 1024MB card in disguise?
I'm just about to buy one, but have found a Lexar 512MB card for circa £32 but the cheapest Sandisc I can find is circa£42. Now if I get a 1024MB it's worth the extra but if it's more likely that I'll get a 512MB I'll get the Lexar card.
So how many of you Sandisc users have this extra space? Are they new cards or old ones?

I also get the 465Mb unallocated space on my brand new W800i's Sandisk 512Mb Duo Pro.
I might try slead's method if it works for other people!
slead - You free of all problems now, and lag when using the memory intensive applications like camera and mp3 player?

The phone automatically sets it back to what its supposed to be. 512mb and not 1gb. I have done this with my 256 card and i dont get any error when i write to and from the card, i use dot before when i tries another method. Its works a teat! Thanks!

- cam is working fine and does not have any lag or something
I dont know why it sets back the 512 mb when formated on the phone...

I have and it works fine. Better then the other method i tried!
EDIT:
If the 256 card are actually 512mb cards, why are the 512mb card actually 1gb card then? It doesent make sense. Why dont they just bulk buy 512mb and partition for a 256mb card? Whats the point in having all these cards, all with partitions. ?
