The 8GB Class 4 card that I purchased via Amazon recently works great in my new VZW 8330. After reading numerous posts here and elsewhere I decided to use just the 'mass storage' connectivity via the Desktop Manager program rather than trying to mess with Roxio, etc. Even a class 4 card (which I think transfers data at 4Mb/sec?) was very fast and 8GB of storage is a LOT!

It does but you might have to upgrade your OS
Example if you have:
OS 4.2.1 = 1G
OS 4.2.2 = 2G
OS 4.3 =4G
OS 4.5 =8 G

i know my current OS 4.3.0.124 cam handle an 8 gig card

thx tho

Yeah...I just got mine from TigerDirect ($107.99), expensive but worth not having to also lug around the iPod...

[surfandstrum]

Does it matter on the carrier?
I've heard differing views...I have a 4.2 and my carrier is AT&T and I'm running a 2 gig card, but really want to upgrade...I don't think the 4.3 is out for AT&T because I was looking for it when I did the mass memory upgrade on my BB...Just don't want to waste money on a card that won't work...

So , to make sure I am correct I just purchased a 8310 curve and I thought it said only up to 2gb card was supported, but looking here up to 8gb card supported??

[markdish]

I just ordered my 8gig class 6 card. it should be here in about a week or so ill let yall know how it goes.

BTW- how do i transfer stuff from my old 1gig to my new 8gig media card?

should i jsut transfer everything to my pc then format the card then transfer it to my new 8gig ?

thanks

Micro Center the other day was selling generic 4GB micro SD cards at the register for 19.95, work fine in my 8320 and tested faster than my previous SanDisk 2 GB micro.

Yep, thats exactly what I would do.

I'm jealous - mine is only Class 4

incorrect. the 4.2.2 OS serves up 4GB cards just fine. i know this because i'm using one and all the literature explicitly states that.

it's ok. the device's bus peaks out at 4MB/sec.

[markdish]

naw it shouldnt peak at 4, it should at 6, how do i tell if it does or not?

btw i jsut got it in, im transfering everything now, its sooo hawt to see- Free Space: 7.5GB

your card will peak at 6MBps, but your blackberry peaks at not that high.

[avelasqu]

Its still alot better than regular SD!

one will see little to no difference between a class 4 and a class 6 card if the device's bus becomes the bottleneck.

but when an external device is the bottleneck, like going from a class 2 to a class 4 card, only then will you notice a difference.

[avelasqu]

What about comparing Class 4 to anything higher? Will you notice a difference in speed then? Bus speed on the device to play movies and such isnt an issue for me. What I have an issue with is how fast I can transfer files to the memory card while its connected directly to the pc (via SD adapter, not through the Blackberry)

using mass storage mode will be slower than using a direct connection with an SD adapter.

if you go with a class 6 card, you'll only be able to realize its speed by popping out the card and inserting it into an adapter.

Awesome, so my 8GB Class 4 card should be a huge upgrade to my classless generic 1GB PNY card.

(my card is here, but my 8310 is still enroute... should be here this week though!)

[markdish]

seems a bit faster to me, bah my curve is running slow for no reason and i have done everything in the FAQ... bah... but at least i can put tons of more songs on there
