Hi everyone... Sorry if this has been mentioned before but when u format the memory pro duo card, will u get 512MB in total? Or much less?

The reason I ask is bcoz when i format it using my phone or the supplied MS Duo adaptor in the W800 box, the most i get is around 481MB. Where's the rest of the MB?

Thanks for your help.

Thats about right mate. The rest of the memory is used by the system itself to opertae....if that makes sense. What you have left showing is the norm. Hope that helps.

Nahhhhhhhh your cards fine! And the 1gb card will only allow something like 970 physical anyway for the same reasons as stated before. ( I,m sure someone will correct me if i,m wrong)

Welcome mate. Steve
