Memory

There are two types of memory into which you can save data or install applications: device memory and memory card.

Free memory

To see how much memory is currently in use, how much free memory remains, and how much memory is consumed by each data type, select Menu > Options > Memory details > Phone memory or Memory card.

Tip: To ensure that you have adequate memory, transfer data regularly to a memory card or computer, or use File manager to delete files you no longer need.

After you install applications to a compatible memory card, installation files (.sis, .sisx) remain in the device memory. The files may use large amounts of memory and prevent you from storing other files. To maintain sufficient memory, use Nokia PC Suite to back up installation files to a compatible PC, then use the file manager to remove the installation files from the device memory. If the .sis file is a message attachment, delete the message from the Messaging inbox.

Memory card

Select Menu > Tools > Memory.

If you cannot use a memory card in your device, you may have the wrong type of memory card, the card may not be formatted for your device, or the card has a corrupted file system. Your Nokia device supports the FAT16 and FAT32 file system for memory cards.

MicroSDHC

This device uses microSD and microSDHC memory cards.

To ensure interoperability, use only compatible memory cards with this device. Check the compatibility of a memory card with its manufacturer or provider. Other memory cards than microSD and microSDHC cards are not compatible with this device. Using an incompatible memory card may damage the memory card as well as the device, and data stored on the incompatible card may be corrupted.

Use a memory card

To format a memory card for your device, select Options > Format memory card. When a memory card is formatted, all data on the card is lost permanently. Consult your retailer to find out if you must format the memory card before you can use it. To change the name of the memory card, select Options > Memory card name.
