Works for BlackBerry 8310
By M. Krasilinec
I didn't see any reviews for this product, so I wanted to let you know that the 8GB (7.4GB usable) works on my BlackBerry 8310.
Interestingly, though the BB showed 8GB with the new card, I only saw 4GB (3.2 or 3.4GB usable) when I initial connected to my laptop and the computer asked to format the card when I enabled Mass Storage Mode (I employed this mode to drag and drop into the BB). I could only see 4GB on my work computer as well.
However, after standalone reformatting the card (to FAT32) on my friends Compaq both of my computers (and phone) now the right way see it as an 8GB card. My computer and phone info is below.
laptop: Win XP Pro w/ 4.2.2.12 BB Desktop Manager
work computer: BB desktop manager 4.6.0.12 with win2k pro
phone: curve 8310 with firmware: v4.2.2.170 and AT&T as provider
I'm looking forward to using the expanded storage!

Works Like a Charm!
By KT
I purchased the Kingston 4gb micro SDHC card for my Blackberry 8830. At the current time, my queer Blackberry may not accommodate a card more prominent than 4 gb, due to OS software that is not yet up to speed. The Kingston card is each bit as good as the more ordinary brands, with the exception of having a lower price. Be conscious that using the included SD adapter is great...HOWEVER, if your laptop or desktop SD reader is not ranked to read HC (high capacity) cards, then you may not be capable to view the contents of the card or make changes using your computer(s). This happened to me, so I purchased a $10 USB SDHC card reader, and now I may use these higher-capacity cards in both my older laptop and desktop SD drives. Of course you may transfer data thru a direct connection with your cell phone, for example, but it normally takes longer to do it that way.

Unforunately, some flash memory cards are fakes
By John
Yes folks, unless you are utterly sure in regards to the vendor's reputation, I would say that most of the flash memory cards sold on line are fakes. This in truth is a huge problem since most of the buyers are incognizant of this. So, what precisely is a fake? These are commonly inferior graded flash memory that has been applied to "upgrade" to an evident higher capacity card with a name brand manufacturer's sticker on it. This type of counterfeiting is no dissimilar than syndication phony Rolex watches at mainly discounted prices. But the more spectacular and more insidious problem with phony flash cards is that the client is not conscious of it, not similar to the bogus Rolex's where the buyer commonly knows that they are knockoffs. The card may fail right away, or as more quintessentially happens, they will work for a while and then fail...leaving the proprietor not a clue as to what went wrong. I purchased a Kingston flash card before our trip to Asia. Everything was going fine until we had snapped just over 100 photos. We were in Shanghai, right after our run through of Japan. The camera would not snap any more pictures indicating that there was a problem (I don't do not forget the actual message). In addition, we couldn't view any of the photos we had already taken. We thought at that moment that disaster had struck and we had lost all of our precious photos. A savvier fellow fellow member of our traveling group suggested that I might fetch the card to photo/electronics shop, as they might still be competent to retrieve the photos from the defective card. So here I am running around Shanghai attempting to find the proper place to have surgery done on our flash memory card. We ultimately found a place, but it wasn't cheap. We salaried $145 to retrieve the photos, and except for a few, we were capable to salvage most. Considering what we expended for the trip overall, it was worth it. But it was likewise an costly lesson. Before entrusting your photos to a flash memory card, make sure that you have purchased it from a reputable dealer. And no matter of where you might have purchased it, test the card before using it. There a number of software apps you may run from your pc to do this. I now use "h2testw" to test my flash cards after buy and before using. It's a free download, just google to find it. You may likewise get more selective data on this problem by googleing "fake flash memory cards". I'm posting this on Amazon, because of a former poster reviewing and reporting his invention of the bogus card he received from this vendor. This vender is still here, and apparently still merchandising this memory card even after the buyer reported it to Amazon. So, let the buyer beware, and do his due diligence when buying these items.
