As far as I know that the N8 uses 8Gb version and 16Gb version of memory cards. I heard there are SDHC cards or brands are available in favor of memory cards. Is this true that there are different “class” of Micro SD or any other cards are available. How does the class refer here? How can we recognize what class of card I am currently having? Does it makes a big different on phone or any other device?

As far as I know there is no compatibility issue with Nokia N8 or any Nokia models which uses Micro SD card or Micro SDHC cards. It doesn’t matter what classes cards the phone will going to accept it any manner and work properly. It will not going to slow down your phone or doesn’t makes any difference in speed. But still some class means low class memory cards make much difference in data transfer speed when you are transferring anything from the PC to card either by using the USB cable or by the help of card reader. This is only the drawback I am presently aware about. Also the lifetime of the card is may be very low compared to high class cards.
