The N-GAGE QD - tips n tricks

The QD



Things u need to get (apart from the fone):

1.MMC Card- The fone comes with a device memory of just 4mb, so you might ( else u gonna say the fone sucks) want to get an MMC card (a techie name for a flash memory card). These cards are available in capacities from 128 MB to 1 GB.
*** This is one important point i wanted to discuss about. I was a bit jittery( or maybe the card didnt fit properly - please verify this ) when i tried to push my 1 GB MMC card (Manufacturer NCP) through the slot, and it got stuck !! I cudnt pull the card back :( .. I had to rush to a service guy who pulled it out with a foreceps and told me that i had broken the lock :( ... Implying, evrytime i need to pull my card out i have to use a foreceps ( of course i will repair the lock) , so guys be careful while inserting your card. The usual procedure is - when u press your card once it gets locked and when you do it again it jumps out like in Digital cameras.

2.A Card reader- This USB device is a must if u need to transfer files(mp3s,sis files,jpegs) from your PC to the QD. This is usually a multipurpose device and can read from many types of cards ( even from cameras).

Things u need not get:

1.The Bluetooth Dongle : U need not get a bluetooth dongle if you got a card reader.you can transfer all kinds of files using your card reader.( but since my card was stuck i got a bluetooth 'dongle' - wat a weird name)

Tip:

And the real one player provided by nokia ( on CD - you got to install it yourself) didnt recognize my mp3s on the card , so i removed it and installed ultramp3 and it works fine.
