  I do, as well as several others.  Once your n800 recognizes your
SDHC card you're ready to go-- almost :-)  You need to format the card
and only a PC (Windows/Linux/whatever) can do it right since the
format utility on the n800 will only format it to 4GB.  Connect your
n800 to a PC and format the card this way or just use a card reader
connected to a PC.
