2GB MMC, works excellently on a Nokia 7710, mobymemory.com

If you lost/forgot your MMC card password, do the following:

Use any file manager application like for example Seleq or FileExplorer. Go to C:\system\ folder and locate a file called mmcStore. Send this file to your computer and once it is on your PC, change its extension to .txt. Now you can open the file in e.g. Windows Notepad - it contains your password.

Here is an official log of changes from 4.01.0 to 4.10:

has the option of cropping the image.

Hi Friends
Nokia 7710 will cost u 190-200 US $
And sony w900 has been released but dont know the price.
As far as Nokia 7710 Compatibilty is concerned with the 2GB MMC i have read many opinions that once the firmware is v.4.0.1 above it is compartible and Latest nokia firmware is v.4.10.0 confirmed by NOKIA

This is the email from a person using nokia 7710
OKay guy lets get this compatibilty thingy stright now " This
device(nokia7710), once upgraded to 3.26, and higher, will support 1GB
MMC, upgrade to 4.01, will support 2GB MMC." (from gsmArena.com)

okay i've tested this out myself and can confirm this with version
3.26 being caped at 986mb of 1890mbs and 4.10 able to use 1890 of
1890mb tested with A-DATA Turbo 2GB MultiMedia (MMCplus) Card Plus
Model Turbo MMC 200X 2GB

oh by the way i fitted 1453 mp3s in my 7710 hahaha Format: mp3 Rates:
128kbit @44khz Avg size per file: 1.3mb...... 26 full length movies
format: divx Res: 320x160 Rates: 196kbps 44hz Avg size per file: 72mb
runs great!!!

=============================================
Guys any new update regarding the NOkia 7710 ccompatiblity please post your opinions and there is a 4gb card as well MMC please check for that also.
I am using nokia 1 GB MMC it is working fine
I dont wanna take the risk to buy 2 GB MMC as its very expensive.
DO post you opinions
Peace

i think N7710 is a great fone,it successes the 7700 which i also like very much.i've noticed that ppl hate these fones i dont know why though,i know most of them are just angry that they cannot afford such great fones and i'm pretty sure that they have not ever seen these fones up close.and to those asian guys always criticizing these fones and praising fones made in asia,i think they are just a bunch of blockheads,who can't even type sentences correctly,my advice to you guys is to first of all,learn a little english because it says ENGLISH ONLY,and why don't you visit sites that have strictly asian fones huh?it really gets me mad.i would really appreciate if someone could mail me the prices of Nokia 7700 and 7710,and also,the sony ericsson W900,....thanks...........

Thanks a ton, Castillo.

Pal, that was a timely reply. Here are a few more to be solved at my end-->

1)Well, you happened to mention that the 4.5 has advanced features. What features & bugs are they(can u list them/give us a link ?) ? This should help us decide between 4.01 and 4.5

2) is there any firmware version called 4.10? guess i read it somewhere(Dont remember the link). Please do correct me, if i am wrong about the info.

And if it exists, how good is it when compared to 4.01 and 4.5? wish there were a detail about all 3 of them in some website.

The reason why i ask all this is, to be careful with the firmware selection. Obviously, desire the best...dont we?

Hope the night-mode works well! Any idea about it?If it does give gud results, bet its a gud camcorder too!

Thanks once again!

If you want to have movies playing back on your 7710, get a supported MMC.

The nightmode is automatic, and dont need to be upgraded to 1.3Mp to see it happen.

4.01 and 4.5, the 4.5 is the major eastern release and fixes common problems, but so does the 4.01, 4.5 has advanced features but has many bugs as well.

This device, once upgraded to 3.26, and higher, will support 1GB MMC, upgrade to 4.01, will support 2GB MMC.

Emergency calls, just like how you would call on your regular cell phone.

*#7370# is NOT made for 7710, its made for S60 Symbian, to restore factory state or format memory

1. Turn of the phone, take out battery for 2-3mins.
2. Put battery back, and turn on and once you see "Nokia" press and hold the Menu Key and the Home Key (the two keys on the left side bottom)
3. Shorty after that press and hold the middle button of the right side of the phone (second key from the top on the right side on the phone)

Any other questions feel free to jot them down here.

Hiya 7710-writers/viewers,

Got a few questions:

1)Does 7710 have night mode for its 1.3MP(upgraded)? If not, can someone tell us how good are the picture taken at nights,etc. Wish it had a flash!

2)Howz the new version of firmware (4.5-if i'm right!) ? Pros and Cons please...Had read a review about the 4.01 and 4.10 as listed by one of the writers here. Do correct me if I am wrong about the versions.

3)How compatible is the 1GB memory? sounds like a silly question. But jst a little curious, if therez anything to worry about..lol.

4) How do you make emergency calls on this mobile? Any easy way out? For example, while driving (I knw its not recommended. But could come in handy)

Thanks you 7710-mates;)

Yes, it is true, only to 1.23 Mp only, but you will need to upgrade to the newest firmware available, and only this way will unlock the 1.23 MP, On the 7710 protoype the phone was designed to support 1.3MP, but since the production unit came with I believe v2.26, it wasnt able to process 1.3MP.
