Yes, it's supported!
Tried an 8GB card in my Curve and that, too, worked flawlessly. | | Offline

I have seen the 4 GB cards from $60-$100 right now. When "might" Sandisk do an 8 GB card and where might I find more info on that find? Thanks for an info for a newbie.

8GB? I am so stoked!
Anyone have an idea if a 16 or even a 32 or more is possible for a MicroSD?

the 4gb works great with mine, but i did have one issue. originally, i did not format it and just began adding songs, etc. it worked great, but then all of the sudden one day the phone would not recognize it. so, i formatted the card, re-added the songs, and everything seems to be working fine again. | | Offline

The 8100 pearl isnt going to work with anything over 2gb. The microSD cards larger then 2gb are SDHC type cards, the 8300 and 8830 are the only current models that work with SDHC. Going forward the next pearl should have SDHC support as well. | | Offline

What I learned is that I need to "Safely Remove .." before I unplug the USB especially if there is a folder/file open. That seemed to keep it from happening | | Offline

With the latest Pearl OS a 4gb card will work. Check this thread out. http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...ork-pearl.html

Does the brand mean anything? Is Transcend any different than SanDisk? Because at Amazon the price is $44 for the Transcend vs. $71.50 for SanDisk. | | Offline

I read an article article on the upcoming 8820 with a " Micro SDHC slot for Flash cards of up to 32GB". Forgive my naivety, but is this to be compatible with the 8300 as well?
Cause I would just wet my pants knowing that I could have 32G on my Curve. | | Offline
