256mb MMC for 6600?

[bluxton]

Hi Guys, my first post here so i'm a newbie. I've ordered a N6600 and having been reading everything i can about it. Was quite impressed when i found out that some NGage games can run on it! :).

Anyway's my questions is this.... I was going to get a 128mb MMC, but i've seen that you can get 256mb ones, so does it work on the 6600?.

Cheers,

There is even a 1 gb mmc available! Dont know if it works on 6600 though...

The 1GB MMC Card is made by Pretec only currently.

However, I warn you guys: Don't buy any Kingmax MMC Cards. Majority of people (including myself) have experienced corruptness and instability!

I'm using a no-brand MMC Card ... and it works better than Kingmax lol :lol:

[gophermaster]

I was thinking of purchasing a Kingmax MMC, that was until I read about people having issues with them, so I just bought a no-name 128.

[nk_au]

I actually had to buy a Kingmax 256 before realizing it didn't work. Went through many stages of experiements which all failed

Then I bought a no-name 256mb mmc card

[BizzyRok]

go to ebuyer where its the cheapest to buy mmc and type mmc in search bar
the look at all the reviews and pick your mmc :)

[tzeonn]

well, brands tt i noe work on 6600 wif 256 mb are twinmos, TEC, kingmax, ncp. bet there are more.

try the mmc b4 u buy, if the fone detects it, it shld work.

256MB Kingmax doesn't work! Kingmax is dodgy, but I hear that 128 Kingmax is alright. Just don't buy 256 Kingmax for your Nokia phone ...

[tzeonn]

dodgy, yea, but it still works. its up to the individual to get it eh.

coz i gt some frends using 6600 and ngage, wif kingmax mmc, no probs. well, juz b careful eh.... :-P

[gophermaster]

Hmm.. I guess it's a good thing that I didn't buy that 256 Kingmax on Ebay.

[nk_au]

Good stuff mate! I realized that a no-brand MMC Card may be even better than a well-known branded one!

[reficul_x]

well, try HTL, a taiwan brand, cheap n good. im using it for my 6600 n theres absolutely no prob! im a heavy user n i used up more than 210MB oredi. try it. kingmax sucks big time, mate.

[nk_au]

See? I'm not the only one! lol :lol: but I hear from someone that a Kingmax 128 works fine. Not sure though ... I recommend people not to go for the Kingmax at all for Nokia phones

[gophermaster]

I'm using a Dick Smith Electronic 'brand' MMC, and it works fine.

[tzeonn]

well, my mate is using the brand ncp in his 6600, and its great too.

[gophermaster]

Ergo: "No Name" brands work better than the more "well known" brands.

[ogie01]

i got a PQI mmc with 256mb capacity and its working great!!! :D i was going on a twinmoss but its more expensive than the PQI.. PQI sell only at Php 3700 here in the philippines and the twinmos sells at Php 4700!

conversion rate..... 1 us$ is approx Php 55. u do that math! :D

[gophermaster]

I wonder why only Kingmax 256 MMCs don't work? They make alright RAM for computers, and apparently 128 MMCs?

well, kingmax do work, but not as well.

[gophermaster]

I see. Prior to reading peoples troubles with Kingmax, I thought that it was a rather reliable brand.

i'm using kingmax 256 for 3 months now on my 6600 and no problem so far...(knock on wood)

[nk_au]

Wierd. Mine gave me shitloads of trouble. Took it out, sold it and bought a new one (cheaper, no-brand, works better)

It's all cool. Guess sometimes your lucky, but most of the time you aren't :-P

[Bossworld]

I use a PQI 128 in my ngage and 3650 and it works a treat.

Note: KingMAX don't make PC ram, that's KingSTON.

They're probably chosen a similar name to give you false sense of safety. Like when companies call them selves Microcard or whatever to make you think it's to do with Microsoft.

[nk_au]

Microsoft? Microcard? Microhard sound better ... just jks

How about that Palsonic and Panasonic?

Kingmax DO make RAM for PCs.

They make a whole range of semi-conductors.

I don't trust Kingmax anymore, and nothing will change my mind - stupid Kingmax 256 forced me to format my phone three times with *#7370# and six times with three-key format.

Ruined my N-Gage twice with *#7370# and once with *#7780#

No-Brands all the way ... :D
