MicroSD are normal MicroSD cards, which are equal or less than 2GB storage.

MicroSDHC are High Capacity MicroSD cards, which are equal or bigger than 2GB and less or equal than 32GB.

MicroSDXC are Extreme Capacity MicroSD cards, which are equal or bigger than 64GB.

At the moment there are none MicroSDXC cards. It's interesting to read http://www.teamcyclops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11110 and http://phandroid.com/2009/01/08/coming-soon-2tb-memory-cards/ about MicroSDXC cards (which could have a storage of 2TB). That's awesome.

Some devices have a limitations. E.g. it's impossible to use a 8 GB microSDHC card on Sony Ericsson K750i, but it's possible to use a 2GB microSD card.

MicroSD cards are older than MicroSDHC cards and due to their design, can not be manufactured to hold more than 2GB of data. MicroSDHC cards can hold more than 2GB of data and are typically faster. The extra "HC" stands for "High Capacity". You can not use a MicroSDHC card in a device that has a MicroSD slot (Camera, card reader, MP3 player, etc), but you can use a MicroSD card in a device that has a MicroSDHC slot.

MicroSD has a capacity up to 2GB and then the rest 4GB up is MicroSDHC from it's name SDHC it's Scandisk High Capacity which mean it has a bigger memory capacity. To add up, if your device is compatible with MicroSDHC you can use both MicroSD and MicroSDHC while on the other hand device that's compatible with MicroSD takes MicroSD itself.

Does the Nokia N97 support 32gb microSD?

MicroSD is the thing of the past, you won't find MicroSD bigger than 2GB. You probably talking about 32GB MicroSDHC.All Nokia E series, N series and XPressMusic all support MicroSDHC. The known limitation of MicroSDHC is the limitation of its data format (which is FAT32). Somewhere close to 128GB.If your phone doesn't enforce the restriction down to firmware (for marketing purposes), then 32GB MicroSDHC should be supported (if you can find newer and larger capacity of up to 128GB MicroSDHC, then it's all the same support).I can't speak for N97 as I don't have one, but on my 5800 XPressMusic, SanDisk 32GB works fine.

What is the smallest amount for an SD card?

microSD is a type of removable flash memory card used for storing information. SD is an abbreviation of Secure Digital, and microSD cards are sometimes referred to as µSD or uSD.[1] The cards are used in mobile phones and other mobile devices.It is the smallest memory card that can be bought; at 15 mm × 11 mm × 1 mm (about the size of a fingernail), it is about a quarter of the size of a normal-sized SD card.[2]There are adapters that make the small microSD able to fit in devices that have slots for standard SD, miniSD, Memory Stick Duo card, and even USB. But, not all of the different cards can work together. Many microSD cards are sold with a standard SD adapter, so that people can use them in devices that take standard SD but not microSD cards.TransFlash and microSD cards are the same (they can be used in place of each other), but microSD has support for SDIO mode. This lets microSD cards do non-memory jobs like Bluetooth, GPS, and Near Field Communication.[3]Some people have a hard time knowing the difference between the microSD and the newer microSDHC format. The SD and SDHC act the same, but some devices are unable use the newer format. This is even true with devices that have been made by SanDisk like their e200 series of MP3 players. Using 3rd party firmware, SDHC reading can sometimes be done.[4]TransFlash cards are sold in 16MB and 32MB sizes. microSD cards are sold in many sizes, from 64 MB to 32 GB, while microSDHC cards are sold in sizes between 4 GB to 64 GB. Larger ones are microSDXC memory cards, sold in sizes between 8 GB and 256 GB. [5]Contents[hide] 1History2Power Usage3Related pages4References5Other websites
