All,
This is kind of related to the below:
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=164635&forum=2.
I purchased a new 1GB memory stick. 'Phone status' informs me that I have '949MB free'. Shouldn't this be 1024MB?
I'm aware that some memory is used for 'phone functions' (per the memory stick package); but I'm wondering if this is normal, or if my phone is malfunctioning.
If this is normal, what's using the 75 MB, and why I don’t recall such a big chunk missing from my old - and possibly corrupted - 250MB stick?
I did back up my contacts to the MS, but the amount of free space was 949 MB before and after - it did not change.
This seems like a lot of space that I paid for but cannot use.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated in advance,
Tom

That's normal. Don't worry. The missing megabytes are used for system. Enjoy the phone. |

Don't worry about this mate, all flash memory has less storage capacity than that stated on the package, imo 950mb is just about what to expect on a 1gb card so you don't have a problem.
afaik the space is used for system functions and also something to do with formatting the card although it is defiantly normal so don't worry

Thank-you for all your speedy replies.
I didn't expect an answer so quickly!
Time to load this phone up with some Premiership football games (yes, we get those in Hawaii!)
Again, thank you all,
Tom
