I think the 32 in "fat32" refers to bits not gb, see

<br>
I'm currently using an 80Gb FAT32 drive at this very moment.<br>
<br>
Part of the confusion might be that Windows won't allow you to easily
format a "large" drive in FAT32 but instead forces you to NTFS.<br>

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>
