Default Multiple partiotions?? - 11-10-2007, 07:15 AM

Has anyone been able to create multiple partition on a 6GB card?
Can we create 3x 2GB partitions on a 6GB card, and use it in the blackberry?

I have, it's pretty trivial with Linux. I made two 3Gb partitions, but the Blackberry only "sees" the first partition, while the PC can see both, with Linux or Windows.

Welcome to the forums.

It's not available right now for any device, though Verizon's 8130 comes with it built-in.

Default Compatibility - 11-24-2007, 12:08 PM

Even SanDisk on thier website for compatibility with the BlackBerry 8800 only lists a max of 4GB MicroSDHC. If the 6GB and 8GB were truely compatible, I'm sure they would have listed it. Besides, I don't think its a goof on thier part if the T-Mobile Wing and HTC Tilt are listed as supporting the 6/8GB MicroSDHCs.

I have been using a SanDisk 4GB microSD card in my 8830. It shows 3.7GB in the 8830 and 3.79GB in my Windows Vista Laptop. The 4GB card has been working flawlessly.

I have a 6GB SanDisk card in my 8820 and it does show up as 5.68GB available. I haven't had time yet to put stuff on the card (just got my BB's about a week ago). So it does show and I had to format them on my Windows computer first.
