New BB Tour owner wants to upgrade micro SD card

Just wondering if it is necessary to change out the 2gig card that came with my tour. I was considering only an 8 gig card.
My adult son said I don't need it. It won't be long before I have my family album of pics on it and maybe a few short vids.
I was going to load all my mp3's on it but I've really enjoyed the Slacker and Pandora music services... Not to mention free internet radio.
I think 8 gigs is reasonable... If it's totally unnecessary, then I won't.
For those of you who have had yours for more than a couple of weeks, what do you think? I'm just a lowly noob.
                                          Thanks, -tom2-

Depending on what OS your BlackBerry is tells you what size microSD card you can buy. You can check under Options | About (will be listed as v4.xx.xxx). Look at the chart at the following link to see what size you can obtain - http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB05461
The BlackBerry supports both microSD and microSDHC cards. SDHC is a newer format that supports much higher total capacity than the SD cards.
Any brands should so. Most popular brands may be SanDisk or Kingston. I have a 2GB Kingston one.
You have to see about loading another carrier's 8830 to get the 4.5 OS to get a higher capacity card. As always before any software update, make sure you backup your device by using the Desktop Manager's Backup and Restore feature.
Can follow the steps here, but you'd have to find the 8830 somewhere else to download it . The below steps are for the 8800 model.

  • I want to upgrade my video card in my HPE H8-1020 - It is a Eyefinity Radeon HD6570

    I want to upgrade my video card in my  HPE H8-1020 - It is a Eyefinity Radeon HD6570.  I want to upgrade to a professional monitor for photo editing and would like to know what is available?

    Jimg-evv, welcome to the forum.
    What is the make/model of the monitor that you want to buy.  I will provide the information for you, but it would help me to know more about the monitor.
    You can upgrade the video card.  However, most mid-level cards require at least 400W to operate properly.  The power supply unit (PSU) in the computer is 300W.  A card that would work for your needs would require a PSU upgrade, as well.
    I recommend at least 500W; 600W would be even better because it would allow for future upgrades.  I like OCZ and Corsair PSU's.
    You would need a PCI Express x16 video card.  I like XFX, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order.  If you upgrade the PSU, this card should work for you.

  • I want to upgrade my graphics card.

    I have issues with playing the newest games. I must use the lowest graphics settings. I want to upgrade my graphics card. I have a AMD 5450 PCI 2.0  now in a HPE-560z machine. I want to be able to play games on ultra settings if I can. What card do I buy that will run on my computer. I'm looking for more power, better graphics more memory and so on. But I have no idea what to buy that will just plug and play on what I got now. 

    Here is what "reading between the lines" sounds like is happening, but it is always better to spell things out...
    1st gen?
    ATI?
    GT120?
    Then can I surmise that you have the ATI X1900?
    Have you been checking for dust and cleaning it regularly?
    I don't know about Softimage, and ATI vs Nvidia drivers.
    If you look you will see that the GT120 is not supported. There is still the Nvidia 8800GT (there is one model for yours, and another for the 2008/2009 Mac Pro).
    Your most powerful card, if you look at the benchmark tests at Barefeats and OWC/MacSales is the ATI Radeon 4870.

  • I want to upgrade my graphics card, what's the restrictions?

    Hello. My MacBook description is 13" Late 2011. I want to upgrade the graphics card. It's currently Intel HD 3000. I want to play games like Guild Wars and Sims City once my finals are over. So probably nVidia something?
    However, is there a restriction? Can the MacBook support it?
    Also what is the price we're talking about. I called a repair centre a few minutes ago, and they said 1300 SGD! A little obscene! Is it really that price range?

    only practical way for you:

    plus some gaming card from ATI preferrably

  • I want to upgrade the graphics card on my Mac pro 8 core 2008

    The reason for it is because I want to use final cut x on it, is it possible to upgrade and what card should I upgrade to?

    The Apple version of the 5x70 cards should work.
    Sample Google searches for just these Apple forums:

  • New to MAC and want to upgrade

    I'm new to using MAC's and would like to upgrade from OS 10.1 to at least 10.3. I want to try and use firefox 1.0 web browser and that is the requirement. Can I download Apple upgrade software just like microsoft allows. I know 10.5 is new and you have to buy it. But what about older versions such as 10.3?

    These CDs can be updated to these OSes with a download:
    7.6 CD to 7.6.1
    8.0 CD to 8.1
    8.5 CD to 8.5.1, 8.6
    9.0 CD to 9.0.4 to 9.1 to 9.2.1, 9.2.2
    10.0 CD to 10.0.1, 10.0.2, 10.0.4
    10.1 CD to 10.1.1, 10.1.2, 10.1.3, 10.1.4, 10.1.5
    10.2 CD to 10.2.1, 10.2.2, 10.2.3, 10.2.4, 10.2.5, 10.2.6, 10.2.8
    10.3 CD to 10.3.1, 10.3.2, 10.3,3, 10.3.4, 10.3.5, 10.3.6, 10.3.7, 10.3.8, 10.3.9
    10.4 CD (available in box as DVD, an exchange program is available for CD version) to 10.4.1, 10.4.2, 10.4.3, 10.4.4
    any version above not stated to be CD version requires a paid CD update to the next CD version, though some of the above versions you might have found on CD as well.
    As others have stated no OS 10.5 is available, and the exact date of that was not announced, though it is being worked on according to the last WWDC keynote.

    so is it possible for me to upgrade or add more graphic cars ?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    Basically you can, with a cost and I believe this cost may be more expensive than buying a new computer because you have to take into account:
    New card price,  and WHERE you can buy it because laptop cards are not the same as desktop cards. You can't buy from any normal shop,
    Need new system board (may be),
    Need new cooling system because generally speaking more powerfull card pumps out more heat (you want more powerfull card don't you?).
    May need new PSU because your current PSU may not suitbale to the card. (I ordered a machine with Nvidia card and I needed to order a 90W charger at the same time, not the normal 65W charger. They simply rejected my order).
    Labor cost.
    Many, many packets of Asprin.
    Hope this helps

  • Want to Upgrade my Graphics Card but have no idea what I can have.

    Hi guys, I've a 2 x 2Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro1,1 with 1.33Ghz Bus Speed and 667Mhz DDR2 RAM, I currently have the standard GeForce 7300GT Graphics Card it came with and I'd like to upgrade it.
    I believe that I can only get a GeForce 8800GT, and that there are different versions for different Mac Pro's, but I have no idea which is the one I need to be getting.
    Could someone please help?

    The ATI Radeon 4870 Mac Edition is the best card you can put in your machine. It absolutely smokes with Pro Apps, and is a great gaming card as well.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB999ZM/A
    Some things to remember: You can only use one of these cards in your machine at a time as it will use both of your auxiliary power connectors. Also, it has one DVI and one Mini DisplayPort. If you want to run dual monitors you'll need one of these adapters for the second monitor:
    If it's DVI: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A
    or
    If it's the new Apple 24" Cinema: http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8913

  • I have a new hp 6520 and want to upload from sd card to hp photosmart in my computer.

    I have a new Photosmart 6520 all in one and want to import photos from an SD card into HP Photosmart on my desktop.  It is not recognizing the card, only the scan feature.  The instructions show nothing about importing photos

    Hi debpayr7  -
    Was your issue resolved by the first post made above?  When you insert a photo card into the Photosmart 6520, it should be recognized as a mass storage device by your computer and accessable via Windows explorer (or appear as a drive on the desktop for Mac).
    You should be able to double click that drive and access the 'DCIM' folder where your photos are located.  From there, you can copy and paste them anywhere you'd like
    Hope that helps...

    How can I install software now? The stupid screen keeps popping up that itunes wants to be updated. Going round in a circle here.

    Well, if you want to use iTunes and whatever  security or changes have been made with the iTunes Agreement have changed since last time, and to work with the iTunes Store....
    Clone your system.
    You can also turn off updates.
    Are you on Lion? And already have iTunes 11? You can manaully download and go to the support page and see what changes were made and other requirements.
    There is a forum for issues with itunes (but not with the software license and agreement)
    iTunes 11.1.3This version of iTunes resolves an issue where the equalizer may not work as expected and improves performance when switching views in large iTunes libraries. This update also includes additional minor bug fixes. Nov 5, 2013
