I got new 2GB memory card a few weeks ago. Initially, it was working well till yesterday, I transferred some files to the computer with a card reader. After that problem started, now it cannot be detected by camera and other device. Furthermore the computer detected it with 0 free space or I/O error prompt. I am not able to format it. Is there a toll to do special format? Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Where can I find a pinned topic regarding the differences and the pro and con of local insurance company? I think we should have such a topic as most people realize that everyone should have at least one policy. There are at least 18 insurance companies in Malaysia listed under The Life Insurance Association of Malaysia (LIAM), link: http://www.liam.org.my/cms/general.asp?productid=4

Allianz Life Insurance Malaysia Berhad
AmAssurance Berhad
American International Assurance Company, Limited
AXA AFFIN Life Insurance Berhad
CIMB Aviva Assurance Berhad
Etiqa Insurance Berhad
Great Eastern Life Assurance (Malaysia) Berhad
Hannover Life Re, Malaysian Branch
Hong Leong Assurance Berhad
ING Insurance Berhad
Malaysian Assurance Alliance Berhad
Malaysian Life Reinsurance Group Berhad
Manulife Insurance (Malaysia) Berhad
Mayban Life Assurance Berhad
MCIS ZURICH Insurance Berhad
Prudential Assurance Malaysia Berhad
TM Asia Life Malaysia Bhd
Uni.Asia Life Assurance Berhad

I am sure some companies are more aggressive and some more conservative, some benefits the young ones more and some benefits the old ones more. Some have different clause. I am sure there are many sifus here that can share their experiences?

Do not buy this Nokia

This new budget phone, Nokia 1200 is already selling in many Nokia authorized stores in Malacca. There is a problem with this Nokia 1200. When the phone language is change to simplified Chinese, the characters are not shown properly. They would be shown as square boxes. I visited many big and small phone shops. All the so call Original set have the same exact problem.

I call Nokia care line, a lady put me on hold for quite some time (wasted money) and then Nokia does not aware of this issue and said that this model is not release in Malaysia yet. The care line advised that to drop the phone into the service center and let the technicians to fix it. Nokia care line has no idea whether the technicians has a solution for it.

First time get disappointed with Nokia. It is time for changes.
