TOPRAM 4GB Mini SD card Problems! With Nokia N73
Www.geek.com/forums/topic.php?id=25954&page

Hey,
I bought a 4gb topram mini sd card for my Nokia N73 phone. I checked with my phone about using a 4gb sd card and it is compatiable. However when I insert the card into my phone my phone suggests it is corrupt! However this is not true, due to when inserting the card to my computer it registers fine and disk check doesnt suggest any problems. At first I thought it might be formating the card. So I formated the card on my desktop all ok. However the corruption is still detected on the phone when inserting it. How can I resolve this problem?

Please Help!

Have you already tried to format the card in the phone? If you haven't already tried that I would delete the partitions that the computer created and let the phone format and create the partitions.

The phone may be wanting to use a file system such as FAT instead of FAT32 or NTFS which Windows will want to format the card with.

peter_g @ May 16 2007 8:41pm

I have an N73 myself, but have stuck with the supplied card so far, so can't comment specifically on how the N73 handles "cross-formatting".

However, I have seen memory cards which would format in a computer yet remain unreadable in a camera, and, in those instances, it truly was a corrupt card. Very frustrating, because the card does appear to be fine at the computer end of your setup.

I also point out that the N73 is better in conception than in execution, and it wouldn't surprise me to find that read/write problems are another of the device's endearing qualities, along with system freezes when you take photos, refusal to zoom images and random reboots while messaging.

darksabbath2 @ May 17 2007 5:09pm

Thanks to all,

To Whiskers: I tried to format it in the phone but it doesnt. By this I mean it returns back to the phone format menu without doing any thing. Another thing how can I delete the computer installed partitions? & can I manually format the Card through some program like disk manager? Thanks sorry for sounding like a beginner.

Thanks again.

When you right click on "My Computer" on a WIndows 2000/XP Computer, choose the option manage. Go down to disk management and wait for a Window to pop up.

Choose disk management and look for your memory stick listed among the other disks. Delete the partitions from your memory stick, just make sure you don't accidentally delete your hard drives partitions instead.

clandeep @ May 19 2007 1:58pm

Check that you have the most current software patch for the phone. Your phone may be compatible, but the software version may not support 4 gig. Try the supplied card to see if it works.

darksabbath2 @ May 20 2007 7:33am

Thanks All you have been helpful. See you Around!

darksabbath2 @ May 21 2007 7:49pm

hey,
I just tried formatting the disk drive to FAT format but my computer now says Error Write protect! How shall I over come this problem?

Nokia N73 PLUS 4Gb SD Card
http://Http://forums.mobymemory.com/topic5592-11-1.aspx

Hello
I purchased the following Card from mobymemory:

http://www.mobymemory.com/proddetail.asp?prod=miniSD%5F4096mb%5FMOBY%5F002

I coulda sworn when I bought it, it said Nokia compatible. I have tried it in my N73 (when formatted as both FAT32 and FAT) but the phone says that it is corrupt.
The card is fully functional on WinXp via an SD Card reader.

I am really hoping there is a fix! I somehow doubt it, reading around google it seems there are two versions of SD Cards something to do with SHCH or something?

Can anybody help me?

As far as i know, N73 for now, is only compatible with 2Gb miniSD cards (limit). The new ones, with 4Gb, miniSDHC are not for N73, unless, Nokia do a firmware upgrade support for them, but seems not be the case on future firmwares.

Memory card (MiniSD) crashing phone?
Www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?p=9366368#post9366368

So I put this new 4GB MiniSD into my equally new N73 and turn it on. It boots properly, then usually when I try to go to the menu, it freezes up and won't function. Buttons still beep but nothing will happen. Off button doesn't even work; have to remove the battery.

Sometimes it gets farther. One time I actually went to the Memory app and tried to format the card, but it just sat with the bar at 0% progress for ages. At some point I switched apps, fiddled around a little, tried to switch back and it froze.

Is this memory card just physically messed up? Is there any way to remedy it? Phone works fine otherwise.


i have the music edition and i also have a 4gb. i does crash sometimes but that is when i press many buttons after about 15-20 of the phone being on and me playing with it the memory stick is fine and does not crash.

i bought my memory stick from ebay so it is not official 4gb it make your fone think its a 1gb but has 4gb capacity

edit:no 4gb will work with any n73 unless nokia update the FW only 2gb will work and the mem stick i have - i got it for £20 - shipped from the USA, not bad. i think that is about $40



OP, you problem is that you bought a SDHC card instead of a SD card.

Sura: 4GB SDHC cards use a different physical form of memory storage. That means that you actually need a different physical reader for them. I doubt the n73 has one, and therefore a FW update won't be able to do anything.

The N95 has a SDHC reader, but it wasn't mentioned in the specs. If the same were true for the n73, it would be able to read the cards.




you can use 4gbs - i do they work fine



yh i have no problems at all, i have about 2gb of songs and tomtom6 all work perfect, i have many games + apps and it takes about 10 secs to load up and see the games in the folder but u will expect that and alos the file manager take a fews secs to lead aswell that because i have used about 3 gb   




http://Http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphone&message.id=38078




Well,Tony I'm filling up my new card right now. So now I have first hand experience with it (like EJ Rizo like to put it). Like you probably read on those links there is some problems,my computer won't reckonize the card,well it's there but I can't transfer files by usb. Transfer files over bluetooth is no problem. Sdhc don't work on N73,so make sure you get the regular sd 4gb card and update your software then you should be good to go.


Fuck my volume button just broke and my volume is on mute,so I can't hear shit.
So Tony did you get yourself a 4GB card?

not yet! will get one in the next days!!!








Get this one MINI SD!


NOT!!!! SDHC will not work!!

Verizon unveils iPhone rival for holiday shoppers By Sinead Carew
Wed Oct 3, 4:58 AM ET
 


Verizon Wireless unveiled three new cell phones on Wednesday for the holiday season, including a high-end handset named Voyager that will compete with Apple Inc's iPhone.

The Voyager, made by LG Electronics, trumps the iPhone by offering faster wireless Web access. But in a nod to the Apple device, which is only available to AT&T Inc subscribers, it has a large touch screen and full Web browser.

Verizon Wireless hopes the new phone will attract customers put off by the iPhone's lack of a traditional keypad -- the Voyager hinges open to reveal a small computer keypad and a second screen.

"We think it'll be the best phone ... this year. It will kill the iPhone," Verizon Wireless Chief Marketing Officer Mike Lanman said in an interview.

Current Analysis analyst Avi Greengart said the Voyager may attract existing Verizon subscribers who do not want to switch service providers, but he doubted it would hurt iPhone sales.

"People who want a high-end media phone and want to stay with Verizon will certainly give that one a hard look. I don't know that it would pull anybody away from an iPhone," he said.

The battle for cell phone buyers' hearts this holiday shopping season is shaping up to be even fiercer than usual, as rivals to Apple and AT&T launch new challengers.

Verizon Wireless, owned by Verizon Communications Inc and Vodafone Group Plc, has not been first with the hippest phones, but said this line-up is its best yet.

"Typically a carrier brings one, maybe two exciting products to the market in a year. We're bringing four," Lanman said, referring to the three new models and its existing LG Chocolate phone.

Verizon also introduced Juke, an ultra-narrow phone that comes in three colors and is shaped like a chocolate bar. The phone, made by Samsung Electronics, is less than 1 inch wide.

It also unveiled another LG phone, the Venus, which comes in black and pink, and has a phone keypad that slides out from under a touch screen. As with Voyager, it vibrates when a user taps a menu option on the screen.

Verizon Wireless would not give exact pricing beyond saying each phone would target a different segment and range from under $100 to about $400. The iPhone costs $399.

Greengart at Current Analysis said the new Verizon range is a step forward for a company that has been trumped before by AT&T, which sold Motorola Inc's Razr long before Verizon did.

"This is something Verizon had to do," Greengart said. "It's been a long time coming for them to get hotter devices."

Venus and Voyager both have 2-megapixel cameras, and high-speed wireless connections for fast music and video downloads, and a slot for 8 gigabytes of extra memory. The iPhone has 8 gigabytes of built-in storage.

Venus and Voyager will launch before the end of November

The cheapest phone in the range is the Juke, which is narrower than any U.S. phone so far and will go on sale on October 19, Lanman said.

The Juke slides open to reveal a tiny keypad and comes in dark blue, red and teal. It has dedicated keys for playing music but does not have a high-speed wireless link.

Verizon Wireless said it expects to attract more fashion-conscious young users to Juke than those who want to constantly e-mail or Web-surf on cell phones.

The LG Voyager is ok,the advantages it got over Iphone is build in GPS and TV,expandable memory is good too.


first one looks kinda cool but a little too much... and with Bang & Olufsen its bound to be expensive.. but who knows...

I think I read about 2000$,so it´s a pretty expensive phone. But the UI looks a little fucked(check the video),it´s OK for music but for SMS and calls it´s worthless.

Samsung Serenata Challenges iPhone
http://news.digitaltrends.com/news/story/14346/samsung_serenata_challenges_iphone
The Serenata's 4GB of storage might be the least impressive thing about it, given the array of off-beat luxury features packed inside by Samsung's partner Bang & Olufsen.

Move over, iPhone. There’s a new high-capacity media phone in town and it's… downright ridiculous. Samsung and Danish design firm Bang & Olufsen revealed their latest collaboration on Tuesday, the Serenata phone. Featuring B&O’s trademark over-the-top design, 4GB of storage and a 2.26-inch LCD screen, the Sereneta might not quite be ready to oust Apple in the technical arena, but as a status symbol, it certainly stands a chance.

The Serenata distinguishes itself from similar devices in a number of ways. For one, it’s not all touch screen. A giant scroll wheel with a center selection button dominates the upper half of the unit. Everything the player does, from music selection to text messaging, can be controlled with the wheel or the integrated touch screen.

In a more significant departure, the Serenata actually has a built-in speaker system. A panel on the back of the unit folds out, allowing it to be propped up, and the front and back of the phone slide apart as they would in a traditional slider phone, revealing two integrated speakers. No word yet on sound quality, but the companies promise rich bass and zero distortion, despite the tiny size of the speakers.

Bang & Olufsen also include some unique features tailored to the busy executive, like its PureMusic mode that cuts off phone calls and text messages to allow a user to relax and listen to music without disruptions. And forget pop-music ringtones, all of the built-in ringtones on the Serenata derive their names from the materials that make them – like steel for wind chimes, aluminum for a triangle, and various woods represented by the sounds they make when hollow.

The phone’s price hasn’t yet been announced, but given Bang & Olufsen’s traditional premiums, it should be just as extravagant as the rest of the phone. The phones are scheduled for a European release by the end of October, a spokesperson told PC World.

Well it´s time to update some news,the biggest news must be that HTC will produce a Windows Mobile "smart phone" due out nexy year,another unconfirmed Windows Mobile is N94 by Nokia,it might be a knock off that those crazy chinese dudes is known for. Time will tell.....

HTC To Produce Windows Mobile Smartphones for Sony Ericsson
http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/340/C13385/

This has got to be the biggest news of the day because it really involves two stories all rolled up into one. Commercial Times of Taiwan is reporting that HTC has received ODM orders from Sony Ericsson to produce Windows Mobile-based smartphones.

HTC is known to manufacture a variety of handsets under countless under other brands, including devices like the AT&T 8525, T-Mobile Dash, and i-mate KJAM. Only recently has the Taiwanese ODM starting making phones under its own banner. It is very surprising that Sony Ericsson would turn to HTC, however, seeing how they are direct competitors using competing operating systems. Up until now, Sony Ericsson smartphones have been powered by Symbian.

Sony Ericsson's first Windows Mobile-based smartphone is expected to ship in the second half of last year. It's also notable that, if true, this would be the first ODM order for HTC from a "first-tier handset vendor." The new handset is projected to account for 10-20% of HTC's total shipments for 2008.

Nokia's N94i to run Windows Mobile OS, not Symbian? Er, No.
http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/nokias-n94i-to-run-windows-mobile-not-symbian/

Believe everything you see? Good, then this is an unannounced Nokia N94i running the Windows Mobile (not Symbian) operating system. We have no way of knowing for sure, but that looks like an engineering prototype Chinese knockoff of something which has gone up for auction somewhere on this great blue planet. According to the listed specs, we're looking at a touchscreen (with stylus) multimedia device synonymous with the N-Series packing a 2 megapixel camera, speakerphone, Bluetooth 2.0 and MicroSD expansion. It's also listed as a dual-sim device with quad-band GSM support. Of course, Microsoft has been slowly making in-roads into Nokia handsets for several months with Nokia's purchase of Intellisync and the recent announcement to integrate Windows Live services into some Nokia handsets. Still, WinMo on Nokia... are we dreaming, or is that "WinXP.jpg" an indicator of something more foolish?

looks like a cheap chineese knock off lol

OpenMoko's Neo 1973 the new rival for iPhone LINUX!!!



http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo1973

OpenMoko's Neo 1973 the new rival for iPhone
http://www.gadgets-reviews.com/index.php?page=post&id=303

There are more and more smart phones that are supposed to beat iPhone announced. And here is the new Neo 1973 Linux based smart phone that has been created earlier and is the rival of the iPhone. Well, it appeared last November so it is older then iPhone. However, it is not worse and has one very important advantage that we are going to talk about later.

 


Appearance

iPhone has a very similar interface to the Neo's one and does not differ much from it. If you look at the two phones placed on the table you would think that they are made by one designer. The color of edges and even the color are very similar. They have different shapes and sizes.

iPhone is just slightly smaller than Neo 1973 and it is also thinner. iPhone measures 115 mm x 61 mm x 11.6 mm while OpenMoko Neo 1973 120.7 mm x 62 mm x 18.5 mm. As you see there is only big difference in thickness. However, thicker phone does not mean better phone.

The corners of the Neo 1973 smart phone are rounded up and this makes it look smaller than it really is. And not so round corners of iPhone do not cancel its size out. However, iPhone is not that big and it does not need such effects.

Screen

OpenMoko has made its screen really good; with its size, only 2.8 " it has a very high resolution: 480 x 640 pixels it beats iPhone. It is a TFT touch-screen that has multi-touch function enabled. Coincidentally iPhone has the screen with the same technology and it differs in size and resolution. iPhone's screen is bigger but its resolution is much smaller: 320 x 480 pixels. Probably you will not see much difference there when using your gadget but if you look through pictures or watch videos you will see the difference.

Hardware

We do not know all the tiny specs about iPhone but we can present you the information about Neo 1973.
120.7 x 62 x 18.5 (mm)
2.8" VGA (480x640) TFT Screen
Samsung s3c2410 SoC @ 266 MHz
Global Locate AGPS chip
Ti GPRS (2.5G not EDGE)
Unpowered USB 1.1
Touchscreen
micro-sd slot
2.5mm audio jack
2 additional buttons
1200 mAh battery (charged over USB)
128 MB SDRAM
64 MB NAND Flash
Bluetooth (2.0)

You would say that it is definitely slower than iPhone and not as powerful as iPhone however it appeared earlier and it is easier to buy it nowadays. Having very many features is not all; it is very important how you realize them.



Software

There are two sides of coin in this case. Firs of all OpenMoko Neo 1973 is totally open source and that means that you will be able to install any application you want on your gadget smart phone. Besides, most of applications are going to be free. Thanks to OpenMoko strategy about sharing the revenue with software developers very many new free applications will appear. The only problem is that there are not many applications that would work with Linux nowadays but their number will grow. It would be a big advantage towards iPhone because iPhone is totally blocked and you will not be able to install any applications on it. I would actually prefer opened OS and not the closed one.

Some features

The creators of Neo 1973 had very many revolutionary ideas about smart-phones. Ideas like: location – based profiles that would use GPS to locate your position and change the profile when you enter the office for example.

The other cool idea is to set up something like a scheduled conference. A meeting between two phones would automatically start a conversation at certain date and time.

Actually OpenMoko sees future smart phones not as gadgets that would rapidly loose value and become useless several years later. But they want to make smart-phones like portable computers that you can modify and personalize and that would increase their value.

There is a big difference between these phones: one of them is power of iPhone and the other one is the openness of Neo 1973. A weaker Neo gadget but it has a big advantage of installing and using the software you like that I think covers all the disadvantages.

Having a classy iPhone or just an older Neo 1973 is a decision that you need to make if you want to buy something like this. However, there is one more thing we would like you to know. Paying $ 500 - $ 600 for iPhone that has a closed OS is not very smart when you can have a good opened OS phone for just about 0.

I got my hands on a HTC P4550/Kaiser/tytn2 AKA AT&T 8925/Tilt AKA Vodafone V1615 for a brief minute yesterday.
Shit looks big on photo's,but I was suprised that it was much smaller than expected.
So Matty and SGV have you guys tried the phone out yet?

That Nokia is butt ugly,what a plastic piece of bullshit design.
I must say I was suprised by the size of the new HTC,and it really felt like a quality product.
The last three products HTC have released shows fresh direction for the company,I believe they will gain some marked shares in the upcoming months. They have sold mad units of their HTC Touch and is rumoured to have a order from SonyEricsson,should be interesting.

800000 HTC Touch sold over 3 months

HTC Touch shipments over 3 months from the launch have reached 800000 devices. This isn’t much for an Apple iPhone – however we should take into account that the device was sold on different markets from different operators. For a proper success estimate let’s wait for the launch of HTC Touch in the US and Apple iPhone in Europe.
At the same time HTC has recently announced the successor to HTC Touch – a 3G communicator slider HTC Touch Dual featuring TouchFLO interface based on finger input instead of stylus. Reportedly, finger-oriented TouchFLO interface will be applied in the new company’s products.

alright! i now know all about modding the kaiser after some research online. doesn't matter where you get it you can mod it in any way you think of down to completely flashing the entire firmware. people have ripped the various apps and back engineered it so whether it comes with say windows live messenger or not you can just install it yourself providing you have the files ;] awesome...

Dope,I was VERY close to buying one after I took a quick look at it. Damn,that phone looks awsome.
I have spilled a couple of drinks over my N95,because I use it for a MP3 player at party´s,ha,ha.
So it might see it´s last days pretty soon. So do you have it?
I saw that the SE K850i has it the stores too,there´s mixed reviews online,have you tried it? How´s the D-Pad?

not yet im off work till friday, will get to play with the 850 then. a lot of people are anticipating it, im not so sure about the dpad and touch sensitive menu keys though...will no doubt be a great cam and video recording is decent too.

not got or played with the kaiser yet, still waiting on vodafone to release their version so i can figure out how to get one as cheap as possible...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=376 this is where you'll find all the info on modding the kaiser and links to ripped cab files so you can install extra stuff or stuff that just wasn't on a certain variant of the firmware like msn etc ;]
