8GB is the official maximum, i.e. the most that Nokia will guarantee will work.

This official maximum is probably determined by which cards they use in testing the product, it could be that they never tested the N800 with anything larger than 8GB because larger cards didn't really exist at the time (or weren't very common if they did).

The actual maximum is always a lot higher than the official maximum, for example the first S60 phones way back in 2003 had an official maximum of 128 megabytes but they worked with 1 gigabyte cards.
