@masseur - Looks like what I got is 'exactly' what you have posted (pic) here. It does work with my P800. Thanks !
@whiz - Thanks for the advise too .. . not to get the PRO, if ever that will be offered.

is it a duo or duo pro card? If it's duo pro, then it won't work in your S700 (only compatible with DUO cards)

@bustamo - Try formatting the memory card in your phone cos windows format system is totally different from that of the SE phones. I believe this should work. ( Insert into ur phone and format, ignore the shown error msg) |

I have just bought a new Sony 2GB MS PRO Duo and when I check the available space it only shows 1390mb.
I understand space is required for data management etc but this seems quite high.
What do/did other people get? Should I try re-formatting the card as there is nothing on it anyway? will this help?
If you're going through hell - keep going. |

No it won't. S700 max capacity is 128MB memory stick duo only (not compatible with any card that says "pro")

Actually, windows will format a 128MB memory stick using FAT, funnily enough, the exact same file system used by the S700 to format external memory. All SE phones use FAT or FAT32 for external memory. I format my memory with the pc and rarely use the phone.
When you post, check out your facts or make it clear you are posting an assumption only  Computers and Phones are not as disparate as you have assumed. They have much in common.

I want to buy a 1Gb MS Duo
I've heard that using 512 or 1Gb Memory Sticks on K750 will lead into high battery usage and the phone will very often hang.
Is it true?
Can anyone please confirm this(OR deny it)? |

nah, it's complete bolloocks. Many peeps are using 1 and 2GB without any probs. I myself have used a 512MB for several months and my phone doesn't crash, period.
