Hiya,

Thought I would post before I went out and purchased a MMC card reader.

I have a 512mb card which im using in my 7610; just got my 6680 and thought
it would be simple to just pop it into the new phone and go. Seems it didn't
work.

The card which comes with the 6680 works in both phones, but the 512mb card
only works in the 7610 I have.

The problem I have is, I want to somehow copy the e:\system\mail directory
to my PC, then copy it to the new card using some kind of program which can
read the system folder of a card via the phone (since nokia one doesn't show
system folders)

Also thought about moving the messages to the phone, but the file explorer
on the phone wouldn't let me copy whole folders only files.

Any idea's?

Not sure if this would work but you could try to see if ZipMan
(http://www.wildpalm.co.uk/ZipMan7650.html) is compatible with the 6680 and
if the evaluation version is functional. If it is, then Zip your folder on
the 7610, send it to the 6680 via bluetooth or through your PC, then unzip
it on the 6680. I've never used this app myself so i can't tell if this
would work though. A card reader will be a good investment anyway. It's
much faster to copy data to a memory card with a card reader than through
the phone's USB cable.

Just tried it and unfortunately when it gives me the list of folders to
select, system isn't one of them.

:( guess gonna have to buy a reader but thanks for trying dude.

The 6680 requires dual-voltage cards, also now known as MMCMobile.

Get a card reader. If you can find an Orange Shop with one left the
Sandisk MMC / SD reader/writers are down to 9.99 in the sale.
