As most people don't have problems with SD cards, there is some realistic probability that only some cards do not work well or are broken by design. Would be interesting to know which manufacturer you used which didn't work thereafter. How long did you use the cards actively (reading/writing) before the problems occurred?
How the new update makes things better or worse does only nokia know.
Did you read the links I gave you? There you can find the informations you're requesting. But in short again...
I used one Transcend 8GB SDHC Class 6 card in the internal slot and had never problems. Then I bought another Transcend card (same model) and used it in the external slot. Copying large files (~700 MB) to the external card caused input/output errors. With the old firmware+sdhc kernel these errors damaged the filesystem of the card. And after some testing and repairing the card was dead.
First I thought the card was not ok. But the exchanged card that I used in the new firmware was dead after only two attempts of copying a large file.
Then I took the internal card, that I used already for two month without problems, put it in the external slot and had the same problems... this card is now also dead.
But how should I/we know if this is only hardware related? I can refer only to the touchscreen issue. Not everyone had this problem, but the latest firmware update could resolve this.
