Disc Card Size for Curve 8320 (AT&T)

I ordered the Curve 8320 (AT&T) which is in transit as I type and I was looking at ordering some accessories from Amazon. While checking the SanDisc Cards I noticed several different complaints about the sizes.
Some said 8 GB was too big and there were complaints about what class they came at. Some thought it was going to be class6 or 4 and it came as class 2. I'm pretty ignorant to any of these things and wouldn't have even known about it had I not read the reviews.
Also they were talking about getting the card with the adaptor. I suppose thats so the card can be put in the desk top slot?
I'd like to know in laymens terms what I should get that will make things the easiest for me to deal with.
wouldn't simply connecting the BB with the cord to my PC be the simplest...and why would I need to do anything different like some of the reviewers in Amazon speak about?
I was looking to buy this card with the adaptor. 8GB class 4 with adaptor for $20 Does that sound right? (or the one below this link? )

Then there's this 4GB that says it's specifically for the Curve 8320..hmmmm

I'm also buying the film protector for the screen ... thats a given...as well as one of these nice heavy looking rubber BB protector skins.

First things first.  You will need to check what version OS your device is running before deciding on what size card to get - unless you upgrade the OS to 4.5.0.81 or higher.  The 8320 can come with OS 4.2.2 which only supports a 4 Gb card.  Supported card size info can be found here.  Check this post for info on upgrading you device's OS.
Second, I don't know what "Class" means with an SD card - I would guess it means what speed it is.  Speed is really only a significant factor for high resolution (over 5 Megapixel) cameras.
While you can simply plug your BlackBerry into your Computer using a USB cable (at which point the SD card will appear as any other USB removeable drive), it is always pretty slow.  I would strongly recommend getting a Micro SD card with an SD adapter - and of course a card reader for your PC if you don't already have one.  Do major transfers using the SD adapter (more than a Gig of data), and use the USB cable for smaller transfers.   You'll want to keep the shuffling of the card to a minimum as it is difficult to get to on the 8320.

    I want to get back to the default grid size for Curves in PhotoShop CS. I accidentally changed it to a much smaller grid (100 squares) from its default grid size which I think was 16 squares. I don 't know what I did to change it, but I'd sure like to unchange it.

  • Simple voice recorder/save for curve 8320?

    Can anyone recommend a simple voice recorder for the curve 8320 where I can record voice notes and save them directly to my phone instead of emailing/mms'n them using the built in send voice note feature on the phone?  I have tried using handango and their software sucks, stuff doesn't work and I tried the vr+ voice recorder program they have and don't like it, I just want something simple.
    Does it exist?

    soon, a Handheld OS version 4.5 will be available for your carrier (if you're at AT&T it already is). Inside it there will be a video mode : you'll be able to take pictures like today, and also 3GP videos.
    If you want, you can install it from AT&T and delete the vendor.xml file on your PC before launching the Desktop Manager to upload the OS on your Blackberry.
    Apart from that, I can't install applications on my Blackberry so I lag a bit about available wonders other people can install on their Curve.

  • Recommend bluetooth headset for Curve 8320?

    I've been using a Motorola H605 that I bought when I had a RAZR and the reception seems to be very poor with the BBC (lots of static and clicking noises).  I also had the problem when I used the headset with my iPhone a few months ago.  Can anyone recommend a good brand of headsets that work exceptionally well with the BBC?
    Thanks!

    I use a Plantronics Voyager 520 w/BB Curve 8320 (T-Mobile). Sound quality exceptional on both ends (mine and call receiver-no complaints). Easy to use (single button operation for call answer/end/volume/voice dialing/power on-off). Great battery life! Highly recommended from an actual user (me). Found it at Buy.com $44/free shipping (when I bought it in April---probably even cheaper now). Also, as my first BT device I found setup extremely easy......had it operational in 5 minutes out-of-the-box! Don't know where I'd be without it!
    Hope I have helped!

  • Change of owner for curve 8320

    I received a Blackberry Curve 8320 from my daughter when she decided to go to an I-phone. I have set up an account with Rogers Communications, and on-line I have change the ownership of the phone in Blackberry Protect website.
    I cannot manage to get through to the Protect site with the phone (message keeps saying the sites not available) so I can't change the information on the phone. As a result I can't set up my e-mail account, because I keep getting a message that it can't connect to the site, even though I have successfully got the WiFi working. 
    How do I solve this problem?????

  • Best Browser for Curve 8320

    Hi guys, I'm running system software 4.2.2 on my Berry.  Installed Opera Mini 4.1 and it worked.  Problem is, it's no faster or maybe even slower than the Berrys Browser.  I was wondering 2 things.  If I upgraded to 4.5 would that make browsing faster or is there a faster browser out there. Please let me know.

    those are your only two choices just now, the normal bb browser and Opera Mini.
    Upgrading could make your BB feel more snappy.

  • Can't print using custom paper size for HP6520

    I'm trying to print Hobby Lobby RSVP cards for a wedding. The size is 5.5" X 8.25". My HP6520 keeps giving me an error that the printer has detected a different size of paper and it won't print. I've gone to Custom and set the size to match, but it still won't print. I have the paper in the bottom tray.

    Hi @Saltman1,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that you cannot print on a Hobby Lobby RSVP card size is 5.5" X 8.25" with your HP Photosmart 6520 on Windows 8. I am happy to look into this for you!
    According to your printer's specifications, this is an unsupported card size for this printer. The supported card sizes are:
    Card type
    Card size
    3 x 5 in Index
    76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in)
    4 x 6 in Index
    101.6 x 152 mm (4 x 6 in)
    5 x 8 in Index
    127 x 203.2 mm (5 x 8 in)
    However, as a workaround, you might be able to assign an alternate driver by going to this post, How to Assign Alternate Print Drivers in Different Versions of Windows, by @Shane_R, and then doing a custom size print by going to this guide, Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X.
    Otherwise, I would suggest getting the proper size of paper for this printer as indicated in the chart above.
    Hope this information clears things up for you, and have a great day!

  • My Media Card keeps Rebooting my BB Curve 8320

    I recently got a replacement bb Curve 8320.  I had a media card in my old phone and when I put it in my new phone it kept rebooting my cell phone every 1-2 minutes.  I went and bought a 4GB Media Card, had the guy at T-Mobile Format it and then went home and placed all of the photos, videos, music and purchased ring tones from my old media card to my new one.  When I placed the new Media Card into my phone it keeps doing the same thing.  I get the hour glass and then the phone reboots over and over again.  Someone please help!!!!  The phone has been wiped out and all applications have been updated, so I am not sure why this is happening.
    Very FRUSTRATED!,
    Thanks,
    Jes

    its also best when installing the 4.5 software to your BB, that the media card is removed from the BB during the installation. It has been known to cause these problems. Once the software has been fully reinstalled, you can then reinsert the card.
    If your card was in for a previous installtion, best to format the card within the BB again.
    babylabes
    In my very first post I gave you directions on how to locate the exact version installed on your BB. It is very useful information to be able to help you. Also why do you plug the card into your PC to put files on it, you can plug your BB into your PC and transfer them to it that way. and in your case I would follow the instructions of making sure the .dat files are not being copied over, and make sure you dont have anything that is not media content. something you are transferring is corrupted. dont copy the folders over. Copy content in the folder to the new empty folder on the BB. (reformat while in the BB first so you have the folders)

  • Largest Media Card Capacity for BB Curve 8330

    I have read the largest supported capacity for the BB curve 8330 is 8 GB but I was wondering if anyone had tried any larger capacities memory cards with any success or failure. I would love to put all my music on my phone, but 8 GB is not going to hold it all. I have A LOT of music. I would need at least 16 GB to get by with to be able to have room for all my music, pictures and videos. But before I run out and spend a bunch of money on a larger card I wanted to know if anyone else had tried it.

  • Unable to use Curve 8320 with new pay as you go orange sim card

    Hey everyone. If someone knows the answer to my dilemma, please help.
    My dad just gave me his old Blackberry Curve 8320 Smartphone. He's hardly ever used it and it's been in a draw for a long while, anyway, today I bought an Orange pay-as-you-go sim card for it and having checked the blackberry is all charged up, have now tried it.
    No matter what option I pick on (wizard set-up, help, Call Log and all the others), it comes up with on the screen saying:
    My number
    Then my dad's old number and a six digit number.
    I don't know what to do and neither does my dad, so please help and thanks.

    Welcome to the forums j9wolf
    1. Was the phone previously with Orange? It may be locked to a specific carrier.
    2. Can you make calls with the phone even if it shows the wrong number on there?

  • MicroSDHC Cards GB-Sizes for the N81

    hi there,
    i got a n81 (non 8gb) with this usefull microsdhc-slot. my dealer offers me to get a 8gb microsdhc-card (brand: sandisk). the testing shows "bad work". no chance to get a positive message. i read in a discussion, that 6gb card (can) work fine.
    q1: will there be a hint or barrier by using 8gb microsdhc-cards?
    q2: is it "blocked" by the firmware, because for "pushing" the n81-8gb-version at the market?
    q3: can this problem be fixed in future by using a updated firmware?
    q4: why we have to wait for firmwarehacks, only to fix such "strategically bugs"?
    now i have for the first-aid, a 4gb microsdhc-card in my n81 - but has this be end of this story?
    best regards to all readers,

    Good deal you can use the 8gb ! I have the same card in mine (8330) curve and it works great.
    Got a great price on Amazon with card reader for $30.
