Hey there, I just got a W880i, on the website it says it can take a 2gb card, the guy in the shop told me it takes a 4gb and I've read some place that it takes an 8gb!

Anyone have a definitive answer for me please?

Many thanks!

It takes all ms m2 that are currently available. So upto 8gb at the minute

I bought a 4 gig card for it. Put it in the phone and connected it to the PC and hit the "PC to Phone" application.

Said 3.8 gigs free on card, I start transferring music and after about 800mb or so it tells me there is no room left on the memory card.

Any ideas?

format the card in the phone BEFORE using it.

if that doesnt work you have a dodgy card.

Go to File Manager, Settings, Memory status, Memory Card, Settings and then Format card. Something like that as far as I remember, can't check right now sorry.

I can't find a "File Manager" in my phone or any way to format it via any of the menus.

I tried playing the songs on my new 4gb card even though I could only get about 800 mb on there and my phone doesn't even recognise that there are any songs.

The file manager is either in the main menu or in the Organizer menu.

I think the reason I can't get any kind of menu to format the card may be because the phone doesn't recognise that the card has any information on it. :/
