Most sd/mmc cards have a physical lock on the outside of the card that slides up and down.

with MMC card and locked by a nokia phone i think we are dealing with a different problem

try this, put card in the phone, key in *#7370#
if the phone lets you format the card, you are fine, no reader will otherwise format the card as far as i know
