Nokia 6230 Memory Card?

fiachs

The memory card for the Nokia 6230... it's just an MMC card yeah? Like this one? I just want to make sure before I get it because I think I read somewhere about it being the Reduced MMC that the Nokia's use... thanks!

Also is the 1GB the largest size around?

Yup just a normal mmc card,altho when you buy a reduced sized mmc you get an adapter with it so it can fit in normal size slots. There is a 2gb mmc card just released but be warned, Nokia will tell you the 6230 can only take up to 128mb as there is only certain types of mmc chips that will work in the 6230.
Heres a link for the 2gb ; http://thefonedoc.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=118&osCsid=ebb9f181314fc6ece976e17bf4f6b497

the 6230 can take 512, while the 6230i can take 1gb.

thats not a bad price.

6230's donot take reduced size mmc , it take sthe normal size mmc card

thanks for all your replies - when you say that the Nokia only works with certain MMC cards, do you mean that if you get the right card you can go above 512 megs?...

Should I expect that if I get a 512 meg card from the same source as above that it'll work? Or are there other brands that I need to go for? (that fonedoc 2GB card's page claims that it works with the 6230!)

The 6230 takes normal sized MMC.
The Twinmos 1GB one on Komplett works fine with the phone, I've got it myself.
I'm not sure about the 2GB.

MP3s play grand, though it can take a minute for the media player to load if you haven't made a playlist.

As for movies, I think the only one I've put on the phone was the Star Wars trailer, converted it using the Nokia Software.

Ditto. Have yet to put anything interesting other than mp3s on there though.

No. THere's nothing beyond MP3s that I want on it.

I've the same card from komplett. I've AAC on the phone as they're smaller than MP3 (i.e. more music ) - I put a couple of videos on it - the breakdancing singing in the rain ad, and a RedVsBlue video. They're not the best quality, I don't think I'd be able to watch a full film. I also use the MMC to hold some wallpapers for the phone.

If you're getting a large cand and you want to fill it with music, I'd recommend having a card reader as it'd take a while to transfer 1GB via bluetooth.

fiachs,

I bought an MMC card for my 6230 from the fonedoc recently, best price I could find. Have a look for him on boards, his handle is wolfman. It works a treat, full of music.

Also, do you have a cable to connect the phone to the PC (dku-2 -worth about a tenner)? It's a whole lot less hassle than taking the phone apart to use the card reader.

yes i bought my card from there too great service i would say
