a-typical? All my destroyed cards (2 of them) were non-SDHC... all my SDHC cards (1) are still working.

No need to file a new bug report as one already exists - Aelam should add a comment describing his experience (along with card manufacturer/model/spec) to bug #1204.

Thanks for clarifying. I will add the specifics. Hopefully, this will be my only bad memory card experience.

Borrow a camera from a friend, then.

The computer may resurect the card if you try fdisk (but probably not under windows). The reason why the card has been killed is that the partition table is corrupted.

How can a critical bug be opened since April and Nokia (mmh 1 person actually) is still asking after 6 months
Did it happen while this, while that..?
Aren't they making extensive hardware stress test on THEIR side? Did they never reproduce the bug themselves?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I have the feeling they know the root cause but can't fix it. I am working in a hard/soft company with much less money but we tracked some very hard bugs down, have put logical analyzers, rechecked all vhdl codes, instrumented drivers,.. some bugs only appeared every 6 months, which seems not the case here. Our customers were legally threatening us.

This problem is giving really a bad image of these IT, I am scared about buying an external disk, which is a necessity... Until now I am very happy with the n800.

many flash cards come with a lifetime warrenty. using a card in a N800 is not going to void the warrenty.

I keep trying to stress that this is an issue in both slots, not just external. Please report bugs correctly (e.g., which slot was an issue, etc.), but don't relegate the bug to only one area.

I know that's not what this person is doing, but we must make sure that people know that both slots are problems.

Dang!

And thanks too! I was really close to giving in and installing the new firmware, but now: noohoooo!

All I really want it for is Flash 9, hoping that it'll allow me to watch the videos on this site:

Karel: You should not bother any more with the 26.8 firmware... it is getting old news soon...
