What? Nokia found new bugs to torment us with?

And how exactly are they going to fix the SDHC bug if they don't even recognize its existence?

I'm sorry, but this whole episode has really downed my expectancies of Nokia trying to be a non-evil company. Anyway, it's nearly october, and the OpenMoko-based FIC1973 MkII should be out real soon now, if you get my drift...

In actuality, Nokia has recognized the bug... They just haven't been able to reproduce it. That's why everyone's participation in the bug report is very necessary. Log your experiences and hope that one of ours will help them figure it out. They are working on it, though.

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.
I borrowed a camera and it was not able to mount/locate the card either. So, I bought a new card today and have submitted a warranty service request on the old one to Sandisk. This card has a 5-year warranty, so there's a chance it will get replaced.

There is already an open bug for this issue (see bug 1204). Not sure who is working on it, but there are 102 entries in the bug already.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of battery life do you get with your N800? (yes this is on topic, as my son and I have N800's his gets poor battery life, but doesn't eat cards. Mine gets great battery life, but eats cards)

For what it's worth, Sandisk will swap the dead 1 GB card for another one under the 5-year warranty. I hope the replacement lasts more than a few hours in the N800!

I have the same issue, n800 corrupted my 4gb sd in internal sd slot running wget for a 650mb file, with swap on the same card. The card cannot detected by any device then.
