It is nice that you have no problems with sd/sdhc cards. But there are people having problems with it.
My N800 killed (!) three sdhc cards in the external slot. I had never problems
with the internal slot. These killed cards could not be recognized in:
- my N800
- WinXP with N800 as cardreader
- Linux (Ubuntu) with N800 as cardreader
- WinXP with HAMA sdhc cardreader
- Linux (Ubuntu) with HAMA sdhc cardreader

Also the famous "Panasonic SD Formatter" isn't able to recognize those cards again. So it is not possible to reformat such a killed card!!!
You are not the only person that knows the difference between damaged filesystem and a physically damaged card. I would be lucky, if just the filesystem were damaged.
And yes, it is not only related to the newest firmware! But it seems that
the problem became larger (imho).
