memory cards for a 770

2008-02-06 Thread Ulises
Aye up chaps!

Any recommendations on card for an old (but still lovely) 770?

I came across this one on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2GB-DV-RS-MMC-MEMORY-CARD-Fit-NOKIA-6680-N70-RSMMC-2G-k_W0QQitemZ130195423071QQihZ003QQcategoryZ98876QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Not sure if they work since the seller doesn't say.

Cheers!

Kingston 2GB MMCmobile is good choice for advanced stuff like booting 
from mmc or flashing custom kernel with faster mmc. If you don't plan 
such usage any random rs-mmc card will do.

Also if one wants 2GB capacity, it is possible to hack mmc slot and fit 
full/mini/microSDHC cards inside.

Caveat Emptor on these cards.  I got one in the mail and had a number of 
problems with it (see posts from last month titled MMC read only).  I am not 
sure whether or not this was due to a faulty card or due to an unpatched kernel 
on my tablet (since patched with the hack, also see that thread).  I am still 
using the card as my main memory card, however, it only reports 1GB, and I have 
not been able to format it beyond that size with mkdosfs.  Personally, I 
suspect they force formatted a 1GB card into 2.

The card never had a problem in my PC, so perhaps it was the tablet, although I 
encourtered the problem once or twice after patchign my kernel, I have been 
able to download podcasts to it at high speed using gpodder without a problem 
lately.  I only do one podcast at a time, however, just to be safe.

YMMV, but I would spend the money on a Kingston or Nokia card, to be safe.

   I bought an early 770 when they first came out. I upgraded the OS 
once or twice to Gregale. I also installed a 2GB card. Well, maybe 
it's not quite an iPod Touch but for an older model it's one heck of a 
MP3 player and plays videos as well with Canola!!

The 770 is still a nice gadget. Upgrading the memory is the next best 
choice to buying an 810.
