Hermes (8525) max microSD size

[Red Monkey]

First of all, just want to take a moment to introduce myself, this looks like a great community.

I just bought a 8525 from Amazon (its being shipped now), I am a programmer (web developer, database guy @ work, and lots of java, C# and C++ for projects I am working on) This will be my first PDA phone (my current phone is an SE s710a, for which I downloaded the sdk, and used it to make some simple java apps, but became board with it, as it was pretty limited) and I am very interested in getting into programming for the neat little device that will be in transit to me shortly.

Anyway, before all that I have to get the right hardware, I am pretty sure from what I have been reading and searching through that the max microSD card size currently available is 2 GB. And I know the Hermes supports it (with possible slower speed / boot time, yadda, yadda) however in everything I have read, I have not seen one place where a max supported (architectural) size is listed for the microSD slot.

So, does anyone know if the memory address bus on the Hermes will support more then 2 GB if such a card is (or already is) made? (I am truly sorry if I missed an obvious place where this information is offered)

Thanks,

Brian

i had read that the max possible on a micro sd would be 12gb, but I don't remember where I read that.

I would expect to have MicroSD the same limitations as SD cards, since it has only a smaller footprint. This would mean 4 GB for standard MicroSD (as in Hermes) and up to 32 GB for SDHC (not for Hermes, needs a special hardware). I'm not sure though.

Thanks for the responses, at least I feel better that I was not missing the obvious. Seems odd to me though that the information is so elusive. Most other phones I am aware of make note of the max supported card size, but I am new to HTC products, so maybe they just don’t.

Thanks,

Brian
