You'll notice it if you're doing video. But yeah, if you're not doing data intensive stuff, you won't notice it.

I ordered this on 3/5/09 and just got a message today 3/8/09 that the product is on back order. I wish it would have said that on their website... I wonder how long it will be before this thing gets to me.

Small correction: This was an observation of Arthur C. Clarke's and is widely known as Clarke's Third Law: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

We've definitely witnessed a myriad of such instances resulting from the micro-miniaturization of chips.

Nope. Asimov is the Three Laws of Robotics (plus the Zeroth Law), limericks, and an inability to write women.

You are correct as to what the manual says. However, higher capacity Micro SDHC cards will work.

The manual says what it says because at the time it was written, 8 GB Micro SDHC cards were the highest capacity available. Nokia, unable to officially test and certify non-existent larger cards, erred on the side of caution.

It would have been nice if Nokia had included some statement that higher capacity, standards compliant cards should work, but have not been tested, blah, blah, blah, no guarantees. The very idea probably sets the legal department to twitching though, so instead there are now many, many N8x0 owners who falsely believe they're living under an 8 GB ceiling.
