Nokia E71 slow accessing Memory Card

[nannynick]

My Nokia E71 has over the past few weeks become very slow at accessing the Memory Card.
For example when looking at the Gallery, it used to display the images fairly quickly. It now takes a good 40 seconds or more before it will display the list of images.
I have removed all images and video files... still slow at accessing it though - such as selecting Memory Card/Details.

Card capacity: 1936 MB
Used: 378 MB

Any ideas?

Try another memory card: they do have a limited life span, although this is measured in hundreds of thousands of rewrites so shouldn't be a problem.

Something to add to my shopping list for tomorrow then.
