But, after moving the same card to N800 I did have some corruption already once: This could be because I did remove/insert the card without powering down the N800. I think I read somewhere that N800 should handle "hot swap" of the memory card? (Of course not during data transfer, but when idle). I did not have virtual memory enabled, and it does not even seem possible on the external slot?
The N800 (at least my NaB00) hot-swaps memory cards effortlessly (talking about the external slot here, obviously!). I've sofar switched between the funny 128MB card that came with it, a RS-MMC 1GB card that sits in my 770 (didn't format it, just took it out of NokiLLO and stuck it in NaB00) and another 1GB RS-MMC card that has the pictures of my new Kodak Easyshot camera.

I have to add that I've adopted the custom of waiting just a few seconds before opening the card door, both on NokiLLO and NaB00, just to be safe...
