From the feedback I've gotten on the maemo developers list, it seems this is a kernel problem - So tonight I'm going to make sure there is a bug report about this logged, for what it's worth.

Thanks, this is one of the biggest things holding me back. I need at LEAST 2gb of storage on the go. The nokia 770 is so close to being my perfect Handheld. Just give me the 2gb RSMMC card!

Most phones nowadays can use 1+gig cards; even the Sony lockup crap. We really need to get Nokia to rewrite the kernel or/and the drivers for 1+gig cards. Personally I don't really need it but like to have it there, but I know most other people actually need it.

Ask and you shall receive, if you dare:

Checkout bugzilla, bug #621. Someone has applied the patch to support 2GB MMC cards! To apply the new kernel...

download the zImage and then flash it with:

flasher-2.0 -f -k zImage-su-18-200625

I've done a few quick tests and I can now see and use my 2GB card! I'm hoping this will get rolled back into the official release soon.

Brad.

Great to hear about it, now I can recommend the N770 to friends and others who like to have mp3 and videos. Most of those people ***** about the memory size, and usually they compare the n770 to the ipod or the zen players.

Wooohooo...I'm going to order a 2 gig card when I get home...Anyone wants to buy 1 gig card from me....I have 2 of them. It's hard to keep track of of one of them...I always leave it in my pocket and almost getting it in the washer and dryer. Now does that mean it will support 3 gig cards??? haha...j/k

Perhaps to increase the likelihood of this patch making it into the shipping firmware everyone should add a vote for #621.

At http://europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,,75023,00.html they specifically say that it can only go up to 1gb...

Perhapse something will change in a future OS version?
