    I think your review has an error. I own this phone bought it 1 month ago and I tried a 8 GB microSD card and it did not work. The phone recognized the 8 GB card but only showed 4 GB or available memory. Please advise if your test ohone worked with the 8 GB card.

    you are correct gregg, the device only supports up to 4 gb, However possible firmware update may resolve this issue, but it will be highly unlikely for an update to be rolled out for an issue such as this.
