770 Mmc?
 

I've purchased a used 770 for my wife as a FBReader device. I don't have it in hand yet, but I'm confused about the memory card capacity. Am I limited to a 2GB MMC (Not SD) card? I've read some threads that say otherwise, but I thought that SD & MMC were identical in form, but different in internals.

Re: 770 Mmc?
 

770 uses rs-mmc. Not the regular size, so yes, you would have to buy rs-mmc card if you wish more storage otherwise for a few books, 64 MB card provided should suffice.

Something of interest, some Sandisk SD cards (the ones that look like this: http://www.fox326.com/bookpic/SDC/SD1GB.jpg) are actually roughly the same size as MMCMobile cards. I don't know if they're all like that, but if the 4GB ones are it's possible that the 770 will accept them as-is.

maxmium is 2GB and rs-mmc (or mobileMMC)is the only one 770 will take, at least for now, period.

Thanks for the replies.

I am about to buy a 2GB RS MMC for my Nokia 770 (OS 2006, ver. 3.2006.49-2).

Would the 2GB RS MMC work on my device without re-flashing firmware, or some sort of hack? A search of the forum seems to indicate that a special modification was needed. Could someone please confirm that the 2GB RS MMC would work without any doing anything to the 770.

Also, I tried to test by using a standard size 2GB MMC, but could not get the 770 to recognize the card. Does anyone know if there's a pressure point where I can insert a paper clip or something into the memory card slot so I can simulate the closing of the memory card door?

Thanks for any help.

I don't recall if that's the latest version of the firmware, but if it is, then it will work without any other modification.

Re: 770 Mmc?
 

With the right kernel, any capacity SD card will work; there are, as I understand it, two form-factor issues; there's the length (rs-mmc vs. mmc), and the thickness (mmc vs. sd); both of these get in the way and require some modification of the card.

This site has them premodded; 8GB for $75.

Thanks for the replies. For some reason, I couldn't find a direct answer when I used the search before asking. However, I just did a search in Google, outside of Internettablettalk, and found this other relevant thread on the subject:

So maybe all the confirmations may help others wondering the same thing, in the future. I'm certainly convinced and will be ordering my 2GB RS MMC. Oh, I found that Media Converter can convert recorded TV shows from Windows' Media Center; video looks pretty good on the 770. Just thought I'd pass this along in case anyone is interested (as I am) in using the 770 as playback device for recorded programming.
