The cards that are supported would be any standards compliant card, and the
adress space would be limited by what the kernel supports.

microSD support<BR></FONT><BR></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>
