Hello! I had posted a thread way back in January (before I had even decided to get an N810) asking when the then, just announced, 16GB microSDHC cards would be released. We had been told to expect them around mid-June 2008, but it looks like there were delays...

So! Being a fellow who couldn't wait to get his paws on the 16GB chip, I thought I'd pop in and let everybody know who has N810s, the wait is over! The new cards are being shipped starting today. For those who haven't been satisfied with the mere 8GB microSDHC cards we've been limited to so far, it'll be nice to slip one of these into our Nokias, effectively doubling their capacity!

Currently there are at least four places shipping the new card:

http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Micro-SDHC...uding-Adaptor) - For £46.99 Delivered (approximately $86.89 USD)

http://www.mobymemory.com/products/S...emory-Card.asp - For £44.99 (approximately $83.18)

http://www.bmcdigital.co.uk/catalog/browse/microsd-16gb - For £46.95

http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=173933 - For £43.99

As with the 8GB microSDHC card, I suspect those who will be willing to wait a few months to get this card with be rewarded with significant price drops. I would anticipate this card dropping to around $35.00 or so by Christmas time this year. On the other hand for those who just have to be the first on the block with a 16GB capacity N810...

32GB microSDHC cards should be available in the first half of 2009.

Cards larger than 32GB are unlikely.

Update: the 16GB microSDHC card is fully compatible with the N810.

Any idea what class (=read/write speed?) the Sandisk 16Gb microsdhc is? I have read articles that there is quite a speed knock in some cases? The vendor sites seem to be cagey about this info. (I have ordered one anyway, in for a penny...
