I've seen a few posts on this ... so here's RIMs official stance in a new thread so everyone can see it:

microSD Capacity


2GB from Newegg.com

To paraphrase:

BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0 Up to 2GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.1 Up to 4GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.2 Up to 4GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.3.0 Up to 8GB

This is actually what I've experienced and found from other posts. However, I haven't gotten to try an 8Gb in any 4.3 device yet.

Nice find!

Do it just work with the 8gb card or can it really access the 8gb. I have a friend who tried one but it only could "see" 4gb and not 8gb.

How about a screen shot of your device screen showing it is "seeing" 8gb

I guess I'll just shop around for a 4GB card *shrugs*
You can install applications on the microSD cards? Or is it just for media?

I'd also like to see a screenshot. I'm debating on purchasing the 8GB MicroSDHC card for my BlackBerry 8130.
