You really need a card reader with the S700. Card readers are dirt cheap, and you can just pop the DUO straight out of the S700 and into the PC without having to fiddle with covers, batteries or whatever, and transfer hundreds of photos in a few seconds.

I have loads of rubbish on my card, and the phone tells me I have space for 500 photos... BT transfer of just 100 photos would take ages - get a card reader now!!

Why can't you delete stuff using the phone? Takes time, but if you want to save a few euros (and not reap the benefit of having the DUO card slot on the side) then isn't this an option?

People, people, people...
I know i can get a card reader to format it. I could have someone format it for me. I could stick it in my P800 and format it.
But i'm not looking for workarounds. I want to be able to format the card within my S700i.

So i've seen this is not possible.
Let's hope this can be done in a next firmware version.

In the meantime check this:

I erased ALL data on my 128 duo. Got this reply from Joolsg4:
Will the Mac OS X "Disk Utility" in the "Utilities" folder do it? Just remember to format it in PC format not Mac. Screen shot notice volume format

This is from a mac, but maybe this can offer you some clues. If not I will delete post. Let me know
