Hello,

I am interested in upgrading the RS-DV-MMC of my Nokia N70 from 1GB to 2GB. The prices for both Transcend and Kingston is Rs.500/- from RPG Cellucom. Can someone please tell me which card to go for? I have read some bad things about Kingston on various sites. Is it true that Kingston doesn't play well with Nokia? What is the scene with Transcend? Anyone using a 2GB card with N70-ME? Does it slow down the phone too much?

Also, a local dealer told me about some other brands named DNA and NCP (or was it NCV?). They both cost Rs.650/- but I don't believe anything can be better than Transcend or Kingston. Am I wrong?

Please help :|

Sorry for long post :oops:
TIA

Opt for Sandisk.
NCP is a local brand, it surprisingly offers good performance but you don't get any warranty.
I had used it in my 3230.

Thank you for your reply.

Are you sure that Sandisk makes a 2GB RS-MMC? I have searched a lot but the max I could find was a 1GB card.

Also, this guy is saying that he will give 5 years warranty for NCP. Is he bluffing? Should I trust him?

Most of them are good, pick anyone.
Don't worry at all, even the NCP performs well.
BTW i did not get any warranty on my NCP.

No issue at all.
If possible for you get a 2GB one, it will be value for money.

Just buy any one of the Transcend/Sandisk/Kingston .... which ever is cheaper ... stay away from the local makes.

Best one is which is made in taiwan.
