i switched from my 4 gig to the 8 gig i recived from newegg for 44 bucks shipped in 3 days. the usb memory reader is so much faster than hooking the bb up. i transfered 1.7gb in less than 2 minutes. a big thumbs up to sandisk. BTW i was worried about the 8gig card being slower but the curve reads and writes so slow it doesent matter.

Do you know if I would be able to use the same one for my T-Mobile Curve? Could you provide the link to this memory card?

I believe you can use the 8gb card with OS 4.5+

go to newegg.com and select flash memory. you can get an 8gb Micro SDHC card for $36 + Shipping.

Ha! I'm still sportin' the ole 512mb sandisk card...... but I only use mine for ringtones and pictures. And I guess videos now.....yikes I may need to make the jump and upgrade already haha

i was under the impression that only a max of 2GB would work in the blackberry 83XX series. Is that not true?

4 GB works in OS 4.2, 8+GB work in OS 4.3 and higher

yeah i saw that too but i feel really comfortable buying stuff from newegg. and i got the card reader that hooks up to usb. the usb drive is way faster than hooking it up to the blackberry.

Fast enough that it's worth removing the battery and card from the BB and then re-installing them? For me I don't think that's possible, since I'm using an Otterbox case. :(

to put a movie that was 470 megs from computer to blackberry it took 8 minutes around a meg a second. on the usb microdrive it took less than a minute. now if you were transfering a gig or 2 it would be a no brainer.

No. Look at the top of the message list in this forum for the stickies. Find the one titled "Latest OS: 83XX ...." where 83XX is the specific model for your phone.
