Nokia N8 Saving Engadget Editor’s WP7-killed microSD Story on Engadget

| November 17, 2010 | 7 Replies

Yesterday, Andre wrote a post about how a Nokia N8 brought back to life Engadget Editor’s WP7-killed microSD, thanks to Antonio.

Some thought that Engadget wouldn’t dare glorify a Nokia by posting about such a story.

That’s now on Engadget :D

So how does Nokia come into play here? Well, it turns out that Symbian is one of few platforms that is designed to handle a secured SD card properly — and sure enough, we were amazed to discover that we were able to use an N8 to recover our once-dead microSD card when seemingly nothing else would. Yes, the card was erased, but in this case, that’s seriously all we wanted — we just wanted to bring the card back to life. Very strange… and very good to know. Needless to say, be sure to keep a Nokia-equipped friend close by for as long as you own your WP7 gear

Note: Josh tried every device, even a PC but only the N8 could save the day.

Cheers to Yoel Gvirtz, Alan and Ayroth and of course Antonio for the heads up to mynokiablog.com/tips

Say what you like about Symbian but we get things done :D

      Engadget does not need to knee down to Nokia N8. No one. They just need to be honest and professional. This time they just did who a profession should do actually.

      However this seems not so easy, ie. Giz … crap.

    wow some professionalism; they must have shed so many tears posting that i bet they’re going to try and drown it out now by posting a plethora of new articles about nothing ;)

      what they implied with the article is that nokia is only good for this kinds of occasions.
      “keep a nokia on standby”
