What is the biggest MicroSD card the 6800 will take and will it use the microsdhc cards as well.

It will use SDHC cards just fine. I believe the largest currently available card is 8GB. 12 and 16GB MicroSDHC cards are supposed to be coming out, but I don't think they are available yet.

Thanks I was hoping that it would take the SDHC cards.

SDHC goes up to 32GB... but it hasn't been made yet.

After 32GB, they will probably make anotehr SD class, like SDUC [ultra capacity] But the problem is the transfer speeds... MicroSD has an incredibly slow rate of transfer compared to a flash drive or a hard drive.

Makes you wish for the day when you can just pop open your phone and pull out the flash chip and solder in a new larger one and reflash your rom.

You're probably the only person I know who would want to solder lol.

I think we will see phones come with larger flash capacity rather than larger SD cards. Given the slow transfer rate and unless they do something radical to pump this up, this should top out at 32 gig.
