i want to buy a new 512mb card and want to know how totransfer the applications to the new memory card?

Be careful there are two types of reduced MMC, the first one supports one voltage only (3V) and the second supports two voltages (1.8V and 3V).

N70 supports only DV-RS MMC, so if you buy RS MMC, it will not work.

Check this page out, http://mobile.antonypranata.com/?p=8, to find out more about different types of MMCs.

i know that, can you answer my original question?

[petrib]

I use an USB card reader to copy everything to a PC first, and then to a new card.

[antonypr]

Yes, Petri is right. Copying from original MMC to your new MMC should work.
However, if you are using S60 3.x devices, like N71, N80, ..., that won't work because of Platform Security.

oh yeh i know how to transfer stuff like images, i have 64mb orange gave me with the phone that has loads of applications on it i wanted to transfer to my new memory card?

[antonypr]

As petrib has said, use USB memory card reader (there are PCMCIA version too, if you want).

Insert your MMC from Orange to the reader, copy all the files to your PC, e.g. c:\temp\mymmc. Then remove your Orange's MMC and then insert your new MMC. The last step, copy all files from c:\temp\mymmc to your new MMC.

ok will this copy all the programs too?

[antonypr]

There is another possibility, i.e. re-install all the applications from the PC. There is a product support page at http://www.nokia.co.uk/nokia/0,,77615,00.html for N70. You can download all add-on applications and then install them all to your new MMC.

Yes, if you use memory card reader on the PC, it will copy all files, including applications.

However, as I said it works only on S60 pre-3.x. N70 is based on S60 2.x, so it should work for your case.

oh ok i have nokia pc suite and on there on the memory card there is not a system folder with all the applications in it?

[antonypr]

You're right. You won't be able to see \system folder using PC Suite.
PC Suite hides this folder, however it should be visible if you use USB card reader.
