support<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I think he's asking if the phone will support SDHC, which is required
for larger cards and many older devices do not support. Or perhaps if 8GB in
particular has been tested. It would be nice to know exactly what is supported,
as those 8GB cards are getting cheap lately. We might have to wait for the first
phones to ship to know for sure what will or will not work. Right now, only the
OM dev team at FIC could test it for sure, and they are kind of busy getting
mass production going. I think I'd rather have them do that and test the microSD
size limits later. <BR><BR><BR>
