Been out of the storage thing a while, does MMC storage equate to anything else?

Bought a new phone that uses MMC cards. Can't seem to find any cards around, only SD/MS/etc.

MMC a dead format or something? It's a brand new model Nokia (6230)

'mmc card' on google shows up a bunch of stuff. Did you even try google? There are tons of places that sell the cards and stuff.

Yes but several reference SD and MMC being similar. Readers read both, even if only marked SD, thus my confusion.

Check that site out. It's the MultiMedia Card Association. You should be able to find any information you need on there.

How do MultiMediaCards differ from SD cards and other memory cards?

A: MultiMediaCards and SD cards are based on separate but related industry standards. They are similar in size and appearance except that MultiMediaCards are thinner and have fewer contact pins. Similarities in the standards allow MultiMediaCards to be used in electronic devices with expansion slots that are made for SD cards. However, SD cards cannot be used on devices with slots made specifically for MultiMediaCards. Low-cost read-only memory (ROM) is available as MultiMediaCards but not SD cards. MultiMediaCards are not compatible with other memory cards such as Memory Stick and CompactFlash, since they are based on unrelated standards.

Cool, though other sites like Amazon would lead me to believe wrong. They have SD cards listed under MMC. Should work the other way around.
