I've recently purchased a 512MB Sandisc Memory Stick PRO Duo for my V800 phone, however the phone doesn't recognise it. Neither does my PC when connected via the USB cable to the phone.

2 questions.

1, Can the V800 handle a 512MB card?

2, Am I being really thick and missing something?

Cheers in advance.

Yes it can!

I can handle Memory Stick Pro Duo up to 1 G!

Have you formatted the card?

If not try that, if that doesent help, copy the content on your 32 mb card that came with the phone onto your new 512 MB card.

That should do the trick:)

For some reason I can't format the card using the phone.

Can format using the PC. What does the phone prefer, FAT or FAT32?

edit:
Never mind, looks like FAT was the way to go.

Wonder why the phone couldn't format the card on it's own though?

Thanks
Kev

1st thing i did was... pop in the MS... go to (My Items) and select (more) and select (format ext. memory)... once done... it works like it suppose to... tada!!

all this is done without having the MS formated by the PC or connecting the phone with pc using USB... all is done only and only the phone... and it shud work fine.

Like I said earlier O2 the phone refused to format the card, it was only recognised as inserted into the phones when I connected it to the pc.

Bizarre!
