If anyone is using OSX then give it a try, use Disk Utility in the App folder and Format it..loads of formating options there. |

Just checked my 1gb duo, it has 948mb unallocated space. |

I've been trying it a few days now. I'm beginning to think it's a software glitch through the SEK750i drivers that double the memory when viewed through the Disk Manager. Repartitioning the drive creates a File Allocation Table that says there's 1gb instead of 512mb. But since there's only physically space for 512mb, the disk manager says 512mb is already taken leaving only the original 512mb... making no difference. This is just the same as slapping a 40oz sticker on a 20oz soda bottle. This is the only explanation I can come up with... |

I've tried the same with a regular memory card reader. Disk Management only shows 480 Mb FAT. No unallocated space. I think the "bug" is in the phone.

Well... the space allocated and the unallocated space is not equal in size... can it have something to do with an ID tag or something on the sticks?

I think it is just a shadow of the main memory. Space you never had and never get.

If this was true, it would be all over the internet by now.

well, some how mi did manage to m ake my 1GB high speed in to 2GB. it's possible due to some bugs...
but believe me... this make ya phone extremely slow when u powe on ya phone...
a normal 1GB in ya phone startup time need 5sec. but a buged card (1GB to 2GB) will make ya phone startup time extend to 15sec.
other that that... accessing files is damn slow. phone auto restart after media player played for 10min. camera very slow in saving pictures.
i can't stand it and i formated it... the bug just went off....
this is how i did to make it bug. however, i can't make it bug again... maybe someone can try this.
1. format ya memory stick on ya phone in computer to FAT32.
2. in the middle of the process unplug the USB cable.
3. restart the phone and format it using ya phone.
4. restart again.
