There is a difference between regular SD and SDHC, and I assume they require different hardware to read them in general.

It will NOT work. Many tried including me.. Search this forum for details.

really? oh.... i didn't know that sorry... is there a 4GB miniSD or 8GB miniSD?

This is actually not true. Read this article:
http://www.brighthand.com/default.asp?newsID=8870
In particular note that: "Aside from formatting, there are no hardware differences between SD and SDHC cards."

That being said, N73 is currently not compatible with 4GB cards because the OS on the N73 does not support FAT32 file format, only FAT16 which is limited to 2GB maximum volume sizes. Even if you buy a 4GB miniSD card that is not labeled as SDHC, it will still not work since, because of its size being bigger than 2GB, it has to be formatted as FAT32.

Don't waste time on the 4GB card. At this time 4GB is not supported.

I blame Bill Gates.

 

[thewingedbird]

for what ???

 

[petefossey]

Ha ha, I was really joking, but the File Allocation Table (FAT) system was developed by Bill Gates and some other guy back in the late 70's when they were working on BASIC. I was really just pretending to jump on the Microsoft-bashing bandwagon.

LOL!!!

I don't think that they developed it - they just stole it together with DOS. That's how Microsoft operates, they buy a company to get and improve on their product, I don't think that they really came up with all that much on their own.
It's fun to bash Microsoft.
