Try it and you will find out - Just make sure you backup any data you don't want to loose!!! :D

Should be ok. I just copied the files from an old 2GB one onto a new 16GB card. No probs at all.

i was just a bit worried if the scroll uses the sd for certain things like cache i think it uses mine for certain services.

Just ensure you have "show all files and folders" enabled and you won't miss anything then ;)
