With the recent news about the release of 8GB MicroSDHC and M2 cards I’m sure your bursting at the seams to get one of these flash storage cards for your device so you can load it full of your favorite music, films and pictures.

Well a word of warning, these new large capacity cards may not work in your device. Although the new SDHC cards are designed to be backwardly compatible this is not always the case and many people with slightly older devices will find this out the hard way.

Luckily Chris Leckness from Mobility Site and Vincent Nguyen from Slash Gear have tested these new cards in a few common devices with pretty good results. Head over to check the full results but I have summarized a few here:

Nokia N95 – Pass
HTC Touch – Pass
Blackberry 8310 – Pass
Motorola RAZR2 – 4GB out of 8GB
Samsung F700v – 4GB out of 8GB
Vodafone Croix – 4GB out of 8GB
HTC Kaiser – Pass
HTC Advantage – Pass
Palm Treo 750 (US Version without WM6) – FAIL

I can also confirm that the HTC S710 (aka E650 and v1415) work with the new 8GB MicroSDHC cards.
