I got a 4gb SD card today in order to try if it works on the N95... as probably expected... it doesn't.
initially it recognised the card as a 2gb card but with 3/4 already used and only 1/4 free, although the card was empty
as part of this trial I formatted the card in the phone and this caused it to be resized so that it is now recognised as a 120mb card and unfortunately formatting in windows does not offer to change its size from 120mb
I expect there is a tool somewhere that can restore its original capacity so I'm looking for hints in that direction please

That should teach you that its stupid to have an "all in one" multimedia phone that has no space to store your media. 2 GB is just ridiculously small. Sell your N95 dude and get yourself a P1.

Please enlighten us as to what storage the P1 offers with M2 cards then ? and how you can say 2gb is small is beyond me it's good for at least 6 albums a couple of films, loads of pictures and f course not forgetting Doc's and Pdf's and as hot swapping is supported you could always carry additional Albums, Films and files on another 2gb named brand card costing sub £20 not exactly the end of the world difficult or inconvenient is it? Oh and of course not forgetting one has been released for a month now and the other is due when if it's not late of course and hopefully relatively bug free this time also.

And eventually the N95 and others should get a firmware upgrade to support SDHC?

If they dont work.... try the pc analyst way
go to control panel, 'administrative tools', then 'computer management'.
then on the left, go to 'removable storage', then 'media'
choose the memory card, then right click on it and select 'free' then 'ok'
once its done reformat it and make sure its a full format

is it showing 120MB through the phone or even the memory card reader?

thanks for the suggestions etc but these tools seem to be data recovery after a reformat, rather than fixing the reduced capacity. I did also try the admin computer management but it also didn't see more than 120mb. I was hoping that would see a smaller partition had been created with more space to expand into.
everywhere shows 120mb, phone, windows XP, windows vista. its as though the physical characteristics of the card have been altered by the N95 format.
I did find a tool on the
SD cards association web site but that didn't offer anything useful
oh well... a lesson learned
