512MB SD Extreme from Sandisc. They are the fastest I believe.

both will work. the sd cards have a better life expectency over mmc. mmc are thinner and more flexable, for younger people that remove the cards alot. as for the size...MOST cell phones now a days, go for a top size of 128-256 for OEM flashed f/w. most manufactures are different, but most stick to similar guide lines. all my nokias go up to 256 on flashed f/w. so check hofo and do a well researched google search. a better answer can be found. this was just a starting point of ideas. cheers!

dam...are you sure.....i got a 3300 vith flashed f/w and it onlys sees up to 512...and the card cant be formated in the phone cause it will mess the f/w up. cant format over 256 in the phone......but again i know very little about the mpx. so you might be right. just be carefull with the formatting big cards.

Sorry if the post came across as being blunt towards you. it wasn't meant for that. We are talking about 2 different phones here. Peace.

no no no...it didnt come off as blunt....you were totally cool. i shouldn't have brought dam nokia in this....mpx was the topic not nokia...so if anyone should appologize it should be me. thanks for the inste on the mpx though...learn something new everyday.

the general rule of thumb is that if a device takes a SD card, generally it will also take an MMC card. It doesn't work the other way around (if a device takes MMC it doesn't necessarily take SD) since SD cards are slightly thicker.
Generally SD cards usually have a higher transfer speed due to 2 data pins compared to the MMC's 1.
In terms of life expectancy, I haven't heard anything about MMC cards under normal usage to have a shorter life than SD cards w/ their shock ratings usually being the same(besides the obvious fact that they are thinner).

Our SD cards have transfer rates of 10 MB/sec if you want speed....

There are comparisons of speed in howards recent review:
