Are SDXC cards compatible with the GN2?

Did some reading and SDXC uses the exFAT file system (Microsoft and Sony?) that is most likely not compatible with many older SD and SDHC systems. Just wondering if the Note II is compatible? I'm guessing not but if it is, that would open up more storage options. (I saw a 64GB SDXC card on Amazon for $42).

It is. I got a SanDisk 64 gigabyte SDXC card. Installed it right out of the box. Works great.

Could you share what the installation/format process is for this? I hopped on the sale this weekend (as appears did several others) and have the following SDXC coming this week:

Is it as simple as popping it into the phone and formatting exFAT, or do I need to somehow format on my computer?

I've always just popped my sd card in my phone/camera and chose to format there, and don't yet have an understanding outside of that experience.

Many thanks in advance.

I ditched the order for the 64gig ultra and ordered a SanDisk Extreme 32 gig SDHC Class 10, UHS-1 45 MB/s card instead, from Amazon.com. Will this work okay?

Thanks! I found a great deal on a 64GB card on Amazon for like $42.

I believe Android default formats to fat32. Stick the card into your Vista or higher PC and choose exfat in the format options. The phone reads it without a problem.
