Any standard 1GB RS-MMC card will work in the 770. You're better off *not* buying from Nokia as Nokia charge way over the odds for memory (between THREE and FOUR times the normal price!)

For example the UK Nokia store retails the MU-13 at £44 ($88) while I can pick up a Transcend 1GB Dual Voltage (DV) RS-MMC card for £12 ($24) online[1] in the UK - you should be able to get similar deals in the US.

Google for "1GB RS-MMC" and buy online or try Frys, Best Buy etc.
