Yes SDHC is supported the largest I would get is 16gb, also be aware of the "class" rating of the micro sdhc card, this determines the speed (or transfer rate) "class 8" is currently the fastest but are hard to find and of course priced higher. I have a class 6 8gb micro sdhc by Sandisk in my TP. The 16gb models are class 2 & 4 you might experience some lagg with those.

I can flash now with my 4gb card on my touch pro which is something my mogul wouldn't allow me to do, does anyone know if you can flash with a 16gb card?

the problem with the mogul was that you couldn't flash from a hc card like you can with the touch pro. I would think that you could flash with the 16gb also

I have the 16GB Micro SDHC card working just fine in my Touch Pro. The thing about the Class 2, 4 and 6 (not sure about 8 ) in my experiance is that most pocket PC's interface are too slow to see a differance. However, the touch pro is much faster. I expect that this is the first one where this will detectable. My 16gb does not seem slower than my 8GB but that was in my Mogul so as I said slow is relitive. Enjoy your new phone...

On the phone it probably won't matter much, but if you transfer lots of data back and forth it will be slow as hell. The "class" rating is actually the Mb/sec, so 6 is 3x faster than 2.

will this work for my Touch Pro?

Class rating is minimum speed, so just because it is rated class 2 doesn't mean you aren't getting faster than 2MB/sec out of it either.

And yes, that card will work, but why waste $10 on an offbrand 4 gig card when you can get a 8GB class 6 on newegg for under 30 bucks?

My sentiments exactly!
