Skypephone S2 memory card

Can anyone please tell me where I can find a definitive spec of the type of
memory card used by an S2 phone? I can't find any reference to it in the
handbook - other than an instruction to "insert the memory card"!

It's clearly a micro-SD card of some sort - but what max capacity?

I'm sure that someone here has talked about a 4GB card - but I can't find
any 4GB cards which are SD as opposed to SDHC - and the logo next to the
memory slot on the phone is only bog-standard micro-SD.

Help!

I've got a 4gig card in my s2 (shows as 3774.1 MB). It was a generic one
that I purchased on ebay.

Thanks. What does it say on it - micro-SD or micro-SDHC?

There aren't any 4Gb or larger SD cards that aren't SDHC
As the S2 takes 4Gb it must be SDHC compatable

Yes, that's the conclusion I've come to - despite the fact that I can't find
a card spec for the phone documented *anywhere*.

Assuming it *is* SDHC compatible, why only 4GB, since there are micro-SDHC
cards with at least twice that capacity? Won't an 8GB card work with the
phone?

According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital_card):

"Standard SD card capacities range from 1 MB to 4 GB. The capacity range
for high capacity SDHC cards overlap, beginning at 4 GB but reaching as
high as 32 GB as of mid-2009. The SDXC (eXtended Capacity), a new
specification announced at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show, allows for
up to 2 TB capacity cards."

but then http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdcard/ says:

"Capacity Up to 2 GB"

My guess would be that the spec only allows for 2 GB, but some devices have
probably stretched that limit to 4 GB.

I don't think Steve was saying it only works with 4GB, I think he was saying
that's the only one he'd tried.
