Thanks for replying again, I value the input.
I have actually been and looked at the model in detail and according to nokia a 1gb memory card is showing as accepted in the 6230. However, after researching in greater detail,and reading many posts from this site, I dont think it is actually accepted on the whole, as the phone cant handle that much capacity. Which brings me to the question again, is this a firmware issue??? Someone from nokia please advise me what my phone is actually capeable of.
Some posts say they have a 1gb card working fully, but most say they can get it working but not to its full capacity, this is what makes me think the firmware is causing the problems.
Another question would be, could it be the quality of the memory card itself? If someone could point me in the right direction as to where I can purchase a 1gb memory card guaranteed to work in my 6230 then wonderful! Maybe Ebay is not such a good place to buy this kind of thing.
It could be a formatting problem too. My pc wont recognise it if I format it myself in my 6230, but my hubby has an N70 and it formats and shows his avail space at 999mb, but like I say, I can only fill it to 512mb. Very frustrating, I like my music!
