    Using a memory card reader, copy the contents to your PC, then from there copy the whole thing to your new memory card.

    1) Get a card reader.
    2) In Windows,
    Tools, Folder options, view, show hidden files
    3) Take the old card and transfer all the contents to a new folder.
    4) Take the new card and copy and paste the contents onto the new card
    5) uncheck hidden files if you feel like it

    ...or copy it to the phone memory, change cards, then copy it to the new card, no? Unless of course the applicaiton is too large for the phones memory...

    He's talking about transfering the entire memory card contents, not a single app.

    Er, ok, but my idea does not change. If the memory card on the mobile has as much free space as the total size of all the applications, then...

    Further more, it was just an idea...

    The interesting thing with S60 is that applications just on the memory card even after a full reset still work. This is completely not like Windows and its registry. The phone seems to just scan the memory card for applications and automatically puts on icon in your "my own" folder.

    So basically cut and paste while hidden files are shown and your apps will be there.
