Does the HTC P3400i support 4GB memory card

[ashishshare]

Hey guys, I want to buy an SD card for my new P3400i, I want to have lots of mp3s and vids, so would like to know what's the maximum storage capacity it can handle. Also does it support SDHC??

Thanks in advance.

Hey Matt,
Thanks for your reply.

I understand that 16 GB cards are available in the market. But the HTC site lists support for upto 4GB only for the HTC P3400i :


Expansion Slot
SDIO/MMC (Up to 4GB)


But I believe the page has not been updated since it lists the OS as:

Platform
Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC Phone Edition


while my P3400i shipped with Windows Mobile 6 ppc version. So, I am wondering would my device support capacities greater than 8GB or not.

Information

Also, my last phone was Sierra Wireless Voq Smartphone with Winows mobile 2003 SE Smartphone Edition. It had an SD slot too, I tried using a 2GB SD card, even though I read that it supported upto 1GB. The device recognized the card & displayed available space as 2GB, so I bought the 2GB card only to find out later that the device won't access/read any new files u put on the card once the 2GB card gets half full.(I used a memory card reader to put files on the SD card as transferring files though the phone was painfully slow) i.e. I had only 1 GB of usable storage on the phone even though I was using a 2GB SD card.

So I dont want to end up buying a higher capcity card & then not being able to use its full capacity, once again.

Thats the reason I am so specific abt the max. capacity supported.

Second part of my question: Can I use an SD HC card with P3400i?
