The Sony specifications state that the phone will only support a 2 GB memory stick, is this a strict specification or could I get away with putting in a 4 or 8 GB memory stick without a problem?

It says that the W580 supports up to 4 gigs, and yet they are the exact same hardware with the exception of a pedometer. Logic would suggest that this WOULDN'T be a strict spec unless it's hard-coded in the firmware.

Anyone know if I can get by with more memory? Has anyone tried this yet?

Awesome, thanks >500. Anyone tried 8 GB? If I could get 8 GB in there, that would be beastly!
