Hi Fatreg,
I don't think they are backwards compatible i think they will only work with the next generation of handsets designed to be used with them. It doesn't look like that phone has any other memory card compatibility. But if they are up to 1gb already that's not bad for a lot of users needs. The idea that once you have your content on it it just moves with you to your next handset is way cool or what. I mean no more having to try and move your SMS,MMS contacts, music , video's pictures everything just switches to your new handset.

Very nice, but will we be seeing memory card prices coming down as a result of the competition?

ah a memory stick does that already if im not corret (not sms, mms) but can save ur contacts to memory card, and almost all pics n stuff r saved there anyway
i can see it being a good idea though but i dont wanna see the price of the 1gb compared to the 64mb sized sim
Posted by PeterKay
agree with shaliron, prices should drop dramatically hopefully.

@slugworth
Please don't quote a post just above you it really is unnecessary and secondly you say a memory stick does that and then mention 2 things it doesn't immediately afterwards that's the whole point of it. Not for me personally but many like to keep there SMS and MMS messages and that's plus the paid for content is what it is about. Imagine this with 2, 4, or even 8gb eventually no having to swap cards either and as soon as you change phone all your stuff is there, and i thought M2 cards were small.
