I picked up a 4GB for $13 shipped on eBay and I thought that was a good deal. Too bad I didn't find this thread earlier.

just got a SanDisk 8GB MicroSD card Class two off ebay user progressing0114.

$24.26 shipped!!!

However, after playing around with the card, as soon as I put over 770megs on the card, my blackberry won't read it! Keep getting a Disk Error, please run Disk Error fix, corrupted data etc etc.

Possible fake card? Seems to work fine on the comp. Haven't test to see how much I can load on yet. Just be cautious for now.

I think a card will never hold the full 8 Gigs (or whatever capacity they are). My 8 Gig card says total space 7.4 GB. Check yours in Options > Media Card on the device.

I just got an 8 Gig Class 4 Kingston card at Fry's, the store, for $29.99.

Just an update, yes mine was 7.4gig. I managed to fill the whole card up. Looks like its good. The problem I was having was my phone itself. I'm still on 4.2, so I had to format the card down to 4gb (3.39gb to be exact).

Strange how some can run the 8gb without formatting, it just won't save past 4.

I didn't format mine. The limitation is due to the OS, see here:

Daphne is correct with the specs but if you format the card on a PC using FAT, we were able to use the entire 8gb on a 4.2 8310 os.

Default Memory Card Sizes - 10-10-2008, 10:22 AM

All apologies if this is covered elsewhere, but I keep seeing references to 16GB cards only being supported for 4.5.0.81 and above. I can tell you that a VZW 8330 running 4.5.0.77 reads 14.8GB as free/available on a clean 16GB Sandisk card. I have not loaded any music yet, so there may be other limitations.

Reading 14.8 out of 16 GB it probably correct you will never see the fill 16 GB on the Card. Although losing a whole gig is a little.....


For the first time I feel the future might hold something different for me. It's possible I'm fooling myself but I'm willing to take the risk.

You lose .6 GB on an 8 GB card, so 1.2 GB on a 16 GB card seems normal, unfortunately. I have a 16 GB card on 4.5.0.97 on my Pearl and also show 14.8 "Total Space" after formatting by the Pearl.

In case you missed it, you can find 16 GB cards on ebay (w/free shipping) for mid-$60s after applying a 10% off coupon that ebay is pushing (regular price mid-$70s).

I've never figured that one out. Why does the formatting take more space on a bigger card? Seems like it should take the same amount of space regardless of card size. But, yeah, it's normal.

And I just got my 8gb card (a little over a month ago) for about $24!

now imagine, in a few months, the 16gb will be well below $30!!!

Buy.com is a great site to find cheap memory (price wise) but they always make up the savings buy charging astronomical shipping charges.

Has anyone found any deals on 16GB MicroSD's yet? I saw Best Buy is selling them, but it was like $99. I'm trying to hold out for 32GB, but I'd like to get a 16GB to tide me over.

I didn't think any BB's would work w/ a 32gb ... and only the bold and storm would work w/ a 16gb.

Just bought my 8gb Micro Sd card for my bb pearl 8100, only 22.99, Did i mention it is Sandisk Branded . The seller is "lscollection", they have a 99.7% approval rating so hopefully what they send me is genuine.

It arrived in just two days, also, so I consider it a great deal. The adapter, while unnecessary for me right now, is a cool extra.

From what I've seen, a 32gb micro sdhc card doesn't currently exist...only the 32gb sdhc card exists. The largest current micro sdhc card is 16gb

If these are anything like when I was searching for Memory Stick Duos for my PSP, 99% of these cards are not legit. That's not to say it won't not work for you though. I was quite happy with my fast, high speed, fake card that I got for a good price.
