It's been shown to work on a lot of Apaches, with the only problems I know of being data corruption under conditions of rapid repeated overwriting.

No. Yours is a good question, but I've never had an SDHC card to test. If someone else cares to confirm - will the stock camera app write to an empty card >2GB if the card and drivers are both SDHC?

I can confirm that No, the camera will NOT write to a BLANK 6gb SDHC Card. Once I filled it up to 4gb (2gb free) it started writing to it fine.

I just got my 8G card from SanDisk. It came with a USB adapter which I used to format it (FAT32) even though my computer already thought it was formatted. I installed the SDHC.777.cab from earlier in this thread. I then put the card in my XV6800. I opened the camera app, it recognized I had a storage card inserted and asked if I wanted to use it. i took a couple pics and they saved without problems. Haven't played with it much beyond that, but I wanted to stress that the card was blank and the phone did see it as a 7771.30 MB card.

You are indeed correct. The phone will recognize the 8 gig card properly with the SDHC777 drivers installed. That is not the issue. The issue is when you want to playback music from the 8 gig card. Since the drivers you installed were developed before wider testing of these cards was out there the transfer rates were too high, which caused music to skip upon playback. This was identified when VerizonGuy had his kitchen out. Subsequently the lower transfer rates were incorporated into the latest WM6 kitchen by Helmi_C, which is available in the forum.

I would build a new ROM from this kitchen, and select SDHC drivers. You are then assured you have the SDHC driver set with the proper transfer rates. I have a Sandisk 6 gig card and its flawless!
