Using 8GB Micro SDHC in 8330 Curve

Hello,
Is anyone using an 8 GB Micro SDHC card in their Verizon Blackberry 8330?
I cannot seem to get a straight answer on whether or not it will work.
Thanks

Scraigs,
 If you have the right OS as posted by Dfisher: Try formatting the card. I've read in the forums that that maybe your problem.
Hope this helps!

    Definitely a no brainer!
    I find it very odd that a sandisk class 6 card is cheaper than a sandisk class 4 card???
    Of course it's odd!
    I think the answer is just that prices are quickly dropping, especially on newer models, and the "class 4" prices are just "old" prices of items already in stock.
    The italian online-shop site I was browsing (a reliable site, AFAIK), looking for the card, sells "class 4" for 39,49 euros and "class 6" for 35,89 euros.
    And it seems they just retouched the higher price: just a couple of days ago, on the same site, "class 4" model price was about 45 euros! I think now they are trying to sell all "class 4" they have in stock, whereas they say they have no "class 6" in stock at the moment (I could just order it).
    Thanks everybody for the clarifications.

    As long as you buy a reputable brand from an equally reputable store (online or physical), you should be fine. Many of the unbranded cards available on eBay, for example, are often fakes or knock-offs that barely work and are therefore to be avoided.
    I tend to recommend SanDisk as that's the brand I use and with which I've had absolutely zero problems.
    Make sure the card is a class 4 card at least. Some class 2 cards have created problems with phones. There is no advantage to buying a class 6 card for a 5310XM so you might as well go with the cheaper of the two (class 4 or class 6).

  • Re: 8GB Verbatim Micro SDHC card recognized as 1GB Micro SDHC Card

    Dear All,
    A brandnew VERBATIM 8GB Micro SDHC Card is only recognized as 1GB in my T130 / WIN 7 - funny enough: A brandnew SANDISC 8G SDHC Card is recognized as 8GB
    Anything I can do here to use the VERBATIM Card ?
    Any Feedback is much appreciated
    Ciao Gerhard

    Where did you buy that 8GB SD Card? Are you sure it's genuine?
    If you got it from eBay or similar, it may be a fake SD Card that is physically 1GB but reformatted and re-badged as 8GB.

  • Micro SD or Micro SDHC in Curve 8520?

    Hi,
    I can't find anywhere which memory card works with the Curve 8520, or what the maximum size suitable is?
    I have a found a 8gb Micro SDHC, will this be suitable?
    Thanks :-)

    When I brought my Curve 8520 from the Carphone Warehouse it came with a Micro SD.
    This will slot in to a gap by the top left of the battery. But im not sure if SDHC will fit. But type it in on Wiki Answers , they should say.

  • Micro sdhc card

    hello does E51 support 8GB micro sdhc cards??

    oh a 4GB will not slow down your phone.
    I heard ppl speak about 8GB slowing down, causing trouble restoring the phone memory after a firmware update etc etc. But I think a sandisk of 8GB could be ok. Still I will not try it.
    remember that industry standards as spoken of in the above link are not always equally well implemented by all manufacturers. That is why I simply do not believe all of the good talk about the 8GB micro cards. I had my experiences with memory cards on all sorts of devices and you always end up loosing things if you're not careful.
    But most important is NOT to buy a Kingston card. A sandisk works fine in my phone. I even have over 1GB of Nokia Maps installed and that application runs smooth. So I would say buy 4GB. Cause if you ever want to have some maps on your phone you can use a little extra memory.

  • Curve 8330 and I'm using a 16 gig micro sdhc card

    believe it or not, I am using a 16 gig micro sdhc card in my sprint 8330 curve.  At the time of purchasing I had no idea that certain OS supported a max amount of gigs.  So of course imagine my surprise when the desktop software would not recognize the card -- luckily the sender of the card sent me a usb flash drive with a sdhc card adapter -- so I just put the micro sdhc card into the adapter and put the adapter into usb the flash drive and I just upload all of my music, etc. onto the card, then insert the card back into my bberry and voila, it works.  Everything shows up.  Mind you, it's a pain b/c if you want to add/remove things you can only do it this way vs. using the desktop software, but for the amount of space, I can deal with it.  I actually sold my itouch (16 gig) and now am just using my phone as a media player.  It's pretty cool!  Anyhow, just thought I would share.

    thanks for the info

    Thanks!

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    A couple of places for you to visit: Blackberry 101    Tips & Tricks
    It will support a micro SDHC media card.  See these kb articles:   Media Card sizes supported by BB OS

  • 8330 Curve SD or SDHC (or both)

    I've searched high and low, and can't find a definitive answer to what I think is (or should be anyway) a simple question. Will the 8330 support the Micro SDHC memory card? Or is the Micro SD the only one I can use?
    Thanks

    If you have OS 4.3 it can support up to 8Gb SDHC cards.  If you have OS 4.5 you can go up to 16Gb and above 4.5.0.81 you can use up to 32Gb cards.  RIM has a KB article stating all this, as well.

  • New Curve not recognizing an 8gig micro SDHC card

    Hi - I am totally new to the BB and to this forum. Here's my dilemma - I just bought and "installed" an 8gig micro SDHC card last night. The phone does not recorgnize it. First when I went to take video, it told me to install a formatted card. When I try to format, I get the message "Media Card Format Failed". I have tried many times, checked on how it looks in it's spot behind the battery, etc. Everything else seems OK. Any help??
    Thanks much.

    What I can deduce from my experience is that one should not buy a SDHC card if you've got a curve 9300 or 9330 phone. Even if the SP tell you the model is compatible with the technology, blackberry specs only mention that SD cards are accepted 
    http://worldwide.blackberry.com/blackberrycurve/3G/curve_specifications.jsp
    Hello,
    Sorry...but wrong. The only difference between SD and SDHC is the capacity of the card. SD goes up to 2GB (officially...some have labeled themselves SD but go to 4GB). SDHC goes from 4GB to 32GB. HC simply stands for "High Capacity." More information is available in the Wiki:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital
    So, while the BB specs may only say "SD", they must include SDHC since they further indicate the capacity of Media Cards that various OS levels support:

  • Micro SDHC 8GB card

    I have this card and I put it in my Blackberry Pearl (8100) and the phone does not recognize it. In advanced setting under media card, I have it "on" but it says no media card present. Anyone have any ideas why?

    I haven't use any 4 GB microSDHC in my handheld but from different forum I've learned that micro SDHC will work in BB. But officially following are the details on memory supported by BlackBerry - 
    Max. Media Support depends on the version of device OS that you're using.
    BlackBerry Device Software                         Media Card Size Limit
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0                         Up to 2GB
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.1                         Up to 4GB
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.2                         Up to 4GB
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.3.0                         Up to 8GB
    All are microSD.

  • Using a 8330 curve on Alltel

    I purchased an 8330 Curve that originally was set up on Sprint.  The seller said it would work on Alltel (my provider).  Alltel says I have to have an Alltel phone.  Is that correct?  thanks

    Welcome to the forums.
    That is correct - so far no CDMA carriers are allowing devices from other CDMA carriers on their networks.  That includes Sprint, Verizon, and Alltel. 
    I'd ask the seller for your money back.

  • Micro SD vs micro SDHC

    Anyone know if the 8330 will accept a micro SDHC media card, or is it limited to micro SD?  Is there a maximum capacity card that is supported?

    I just went thru this. I bought a 4g SDHC and put in my curve 8330. It worked ok as far as pics, but when downloading ringtones, it says it downloaded but they were not on my media card nor my phone memory. Now I have all these tones I want to use and now that I have changed my memory card to a 2 SD it want let me download them again. Says they are already downloaded. Sprint is my carrier and when I called tec support they said that the curve is not compatible with the curve. Check with your carrier.

  • Is the Zen Touch 2 compatible with micro SDHC?

    The specifications page on the creative website showed that the Zen Touch 2 was compatible with micro SD cards, but now I'm wondering if it's compatible with the micro SDHC?
