Thanks for your reply, even he told me something that because it is microSD HC it will not work and if it is just microSD it will work because N95 can't read from HC .... doesn't make any sense to me, but I thought to double check with people here.

One more question, If I get this 4GB microSD card, and copied all the content I have on the current 1 GB card to the new 4GB one, should that work even for the applications that it is installed on the old 1 GB card, or I should re-install all the applications that was installed on the old 1 GB card

IMO you shuold re-instal, iv heard to many bad stories bout copying all the data to new card, and yes n95 reads SDHC cards

I too can canfirm 4Gb microSDHC works on the N95, it's what I'm using.


Yes, you can copy all the info from one card and paste it onto the 4Gb one and it will be as was before but with more memory.

Some people might be misinformed about the N95's card support, because there were no microSDHC cards on launch and so Nokia said the largest card supported was 2GB. However, all sizes of microSDHC cards released so far work fine, as above.

I've found it's fine to just copy the data from one card to another, but you must have 'Show hidden files and folders' enabled and 'Hide protected operating system files' disabled within Windows. See attached screen shot...
