I'm behind the ball but can a n800 even read a 8gb? I even tried my 4gb and it wouldn't read the internal / external at all. That is after the latest firmware. Kingston card but I don't know what class it is.

It's down to $52.99-$15MIR=$37.99. To qualify for the rebate you need to buy it before midnight tomorrow. I just ordered my 2 and now I'm just waiting for OS2008 to be released
I've been using dual 8GB cards from the moment I got my N800, about 2 months ago, with no problem, even with the release prior to the current one.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried a 16G SDHC card with a N800? They are available here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...ory-_-20220254 I am using 1 8G right now with my N800, just ordered a 2nd. I had a a little trouble at first, the key seems to make sure you format the card with the N800.

Who knows though, I might not be able to resist the temptation when the cards arrive.

I don't know what the issues were, but it seems like plenty of people here have used the patch without issues. The read speed for the cards almost doubles with the patch. You can see some speed tests here. Some more info about the patch and a link to download are here. I'm planning to boot from my SDHC card and hope to see improvements in boot times and overall system performance. Search the forums for "48mhz" if you want to read more threads about it.
