whats the use of 8G? none of the current SE phones can handle that.
most can hangle 2G, and i think the P990 handles 4G

thats wat i was thinking even if it was capped by the firmware, the hardware would be no where quick enough to load all that content, and also battery life would be effected.

I haven't seen anywhere, for the latest batch of
phones, where its says it cannot handle these larger memory sticks. As is often said here, when
quote a memory stick size in press releases and specification pages its only because at the time the phone is announced, that is the largest capacity memory stick that has been announced.
will never advertise a phone to be compatible with something not yet available.

why will the hardware not be quick enough and why would it use more battery? Surely a larger memory stick (which itself is non volatile and does not need power from the phone to actually maintain the storage) will not need to read music or video data any quicker than it currently does. These larger memory sticks simply hold more data, thats all.
These will be great for Sony digital cameras too. I'm using a 2gb in my DSC-T1 and would love to have more capacity

same reason.
take a look at the P910 white paper, for example. Throughout it talks about "up to 1gb" memory stick.
There is just one small part of that white paper where it discusses that the file system used is FAT16 and that FAT16 can support up to 2gb, but it doesn't specifically say that the P910 supports 2gb
as soon as 2gb was available we ourselves were able to confirm it does support that 2gb
edit: looking through some of the other white papers, for example the K750, it also says 1gb but I am happily using 2gb in mine
