Hello all,

My dad uses as 256 MB Sandisk memory stick in his P910i. I asked him to give it to me but when i tried to use it in my P900 it would not work. I tried formatting it but my fone returns the error that the disk is corrupt. Is there a known issue with sandisk memory sticks not working with P900s?

welcome to Esato

unfortunately the P900 only support memory stick duo, not PRO duo, and therefore has a limit of 128mb

You may want to get a lil adventurous and get your p900 flashed with p910 firmware....mind you this is not an official process but can be done......it converts the p900 to what is called a p905...and enables MS Duo Pro support...meaning you can use mem sticks upwards of 128 MB as well

check this thread out for some more info

As I mentioned....its not an errm...official process...which means that an SE service centre will not do it.....so you're either gonna have to look around in the PH for mobile shops that may be able to do it...or pm one of the users in the thread that I linked you to...
