Yes, of course they're fully backwards compatible. It'd be rather silly if it wasn't.
Just like USB 2.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1, etc.

Thanks for the info TomJ, that leaves no room for argument.
Too bad this info isn't put in the manual or on the websites...

The 8 GB microSDHC card in my N900 that works fine.
A 16GB SDHD card works fine in my N800 after updating the firmware to Diablo even though the original firmware only supported SD cards up to 2GB.
This is largely a software issue caused by the older cards using a FAT16 filesystem to support up to 2GB. The newer HD cards use FAT32, and the XD cards will use yet another filesystem to go beyond 32GB.

Btw, is A-Data a good memory card manufacturer?
A-Data 8gb class 6 microsd card costs around 26 $ in ebay, and they advertise life-time warranty in A-Data's web site.

Well, I think my nest device will be one supporting SDXC. I have a camera supporting sdxc and I want to use a microSDXC in it and on my next smartphone.

In the (digital) manual from the N900 I read that I should use microSD cards (also on the Nokia N900 productpage). But when I visit the shop and look at the accesoires there is a microSDHC card listed: "Nokia 16 GB microSD-kaart (MU-44)".
I assume that only microSD's are supported?
