Micro SD card for E71

[maniacgeorge]

Hi,
I have just bought a Nokia E71 which really needs a Micro SD card to expand it. The original spec sheet says that it supports 8gb cards but would a 16gb one work? Also, being a newcomer to SD cards, are they all the same or are some types better/faster?

Thanks,
George

I found these links about 16GB cards on Nokia E71:

http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&message.id=30058 - Nokia E71 and 16GB microSDHC (slow!)

http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&thread.id=36865 - E71 has problems using 16 Gb memory card

And take a look here, it says that it may be compatible with 16gb.

About SD cards and speed, read this article about Secure Digital Cards.

As far as I can see you should be able to use 16gb card, but there is a small risk of unforeseen behavior.
