Anyone got a 4Gb card working in their N80?

I've posted about this in a previous thread:

AFAIK this will require a firmware update, so I wouldn't hold my breath for SDHC support. The cards have only just been released to manufacturers as of September, and (aside from eBay scammers selling photoshopped / compressed cards) are not available to the general public.

I'd be VERY wary of the quality / durability of any supposedly genuine 4gb miniSDs. SanDisk are a market leader and only announced theirs less than a month ago before releasing them to manufacturers: http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news.php?newsId=4722. I reported a scammer on eBay last week who was advertising 12 badly photoshopped cards for 130 EU+.

I'd be surprised if the link you've given is a genuine (rather than compressed / other scam) 4gb miniSD (given price and lack of branding) and even more surprised if it was to work in the N80 without firmware modifications.

Thats a pity as i want more storage for mp3's.....guess i could buy another 2Gb card, i see 7dayshop have them at a very low �17.99.
I currently have an Adata 2Gb card which has been excellent.

never actually asked this question but can we fit another type of memory card other then mini sd into the n80 ?

Hmm.. I doubt it but maybe if there was a Transflash->MiniSD adapter you could use a Transflash card on your N80.
