8GB SDHC card confirmed on ROKR E8

[e1000]

I can confirm that 8GB micro SDHC cards work on the ROKR E8. Most of you probably assumed it would work since 4GB cards do, but if there was any doubt out there I just wanted to clear it up.

thanks for comfirmation. Wonder if the 8gb card will work with the U9?

[art2.0]

That's freaking sweet. I thought they would work, but I didn't want to risk it. I already bought a 4GB card though :( Thanks for confirming that though.

i have an sdhc 8Gb card since day 2 and i still cannot make it full
i wonder why should i buy a 30G or more capacity media device(ipod and similars)

[KungFool]

I myself was wondering too: does the 8gb HC card work in the U9?
I just bought the device and I'm wondering wether it makes sense to buy the card.
Any advice would be apprechiated.

why is that?
is there any risk if you insert a 8GB SDHC in your E8?
so is it really true that 8GB SDHC works on E8?? :)

I got an 8gb SDHC in my e8 and it works a treat.

[weedfree]

may i ask, hav you maximize the full capacity of the 8G?..ü

there is no risk to the phone or the memory card, the only risk is that the phone rejects the memory card.

[Taurnil]

yup....
someone told @ gsmarena that u9 can read and write 8GB SD cards, but would like to read it from here....

[dragnandy]

For the people who have said the SDHC works, do you have the US t-mobile version? Or is it unbranded?

[Taurnil]

that's not related to FW or operator. So, any E8 can use uSDHC 8GB cards.

[dragnandy]

oh thanks. its just that its advertised that the micro-sd goes up to 4gb. and its obvious that the micro-sdhc goes well up to 16gb, and soon 32gb. and the max normal micro-sd cards went up to 4gbs, a very long time ago during its early release before sdhc cards, so it was questionable when people claimed 8gb sdhc cards worked or not.

thanks taurnil for clearing things up.

I just emailed Motorola about putting in 8GB and this is the response I got:

Is there any reason why they would want to restrict the capacity of the ROKR E8? Does anyone know if there is actually truth to their claim that using a microSDHC card "can damage the interface of the phone"?

[canada2005]

Well just to let you know mine is "SDHC" and it does work..great at that!

[Av3LaR]

i highly doubt putting an microSDHC damage a phone, unless you start using swap or themes on it, but both aren't supported by E8 (YET) so i'd say don't worry, it'll be cool if someone test an 16GB (microSDHC duh!)

[MikeVI]

I saw in another thread that the 16GB does not work in the E8 however I cannot personally verify that.

I have a dumb question but just want to clear it up. When using an 8GB card the phone itself still operates as fast as it would with a 4GB card? Thanks

[grim_reaper]

there is no risk to the phone or the memory card, the only risk is that the phone rejects the memory card.

did anyones phone reject the mem card & if so which manufacturer?

[Action Jackson]

Yes the 8gb card works in a U9.
