I thought the maximum in each for 0s2007 was 2 GB. The OS2008 on the N800 I believe can handle 8 GB in each. Cheers.

No, I had my 8 Gbyte SDHC card installed in the N800 when I was still on OS2007, and the whole 8 Gbytes worked fine.

Not to cause any confusion here, they're all "SD" cards, but in particular you need an SDHC (HC = High Capacity) card and compatible SDHC card slot to go over 4 Gbytes. The standard SD format ran out of addressing capacity at 2 Gbytes (strictly speaking), or 4 Gbytes if you pushed the limits as some suppliers did by treating one 16-bit value as an unsigned 64K number instead of a signed 32K number as originally specified.

The N800 comes with two SDHC-compatible card slots, and certainly the last revision of OS2007 supported them - can't say about earlier versions, that's before my time.

I think that firmware ver 4.2007.38-2 is SDHC compatible, so you can support both 8 or 16 gb cards in either slot, but I doubt you will find a 16 gb card on the market just yet.

32gb will be out shortly.
Several players showed off 32gb sdhc cards at CES last week.
I've been using 2 16gb sdhc class 6 cards for the last six months.
Amazing!!! Considering I paid 250 for my n800. Tons of free
software.
Enjoy
Dan

I'm pretty sure you can get 32gb cards now. It is technically possible to make 1TB SDHC cards right now, but it would literally cost an arm and a leg.
