    Just thought I'd share the news. Its not the best deal ever, but pretty good if you are looking to get that 8gb card for less than $25 bucks. I ordered mine from the same site and it arrived within 2 days. Quick and reliable shipping from Ohio.

    Kingston Technology's Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) memory cards are fully compliant with the new Secure Digital Association 2.00 specification. They are a new performance class of SD memory cards designed to meet the storage demands of high-quality digital still and video cameras and other high-resolution image recording devices.

    Although identical in size to todays standard SD card, the new SDHC cards are designed differently and are only recognized by SDHC host devices. To ensure compatibility, look for the SDHC logo on cards and host devices (cameras, camcorders, etc.).

    For added reliability and durability, our solid-state SDHC memory cards are built of nonvolatile memory components and have no moving parts that could wear out or break. All cards are 100-percent tested and are backed by a lifetime warranty

    you need to be running OS 4.5 for the curve to recognize the 8GB card, right?

    I've got the Sprint 8330 (Curve) and I've had my 8gb micro card for about a month. I'm still running ver. 4.3.

    I've had no problems with it either. No freeze-ups, no memory drain, no lost files.

    how can you figure out if you need an 8gb card? I am using a 4gb now, and have 3.3gb available, so I guess I am not a big user since I have been using this card for over a year. Should I splurge on an 8gn, or stick with my 4gb?

    Thanks!

    4 gb is perfect for pictures, a couple of playlists and a few videos.
    I've stopped using my 30gb IPOD because the curve is so convenient. I love how my music stops and I can just answer with the headphones on.
    You can even use it as a portable drive.

    Fry's has a pretty good rep on the Blu Ray forums for electronics. Usually some good deals on home theater and dvd's.

Very frustrating!! Planning on adding a single media file every day until it crashes again...so far with one photo, one ring tone and one song is holding up!!

    On an 8310 you need OS 4.5 for your phone to access the full 8Gb. If you are running OS 4.2 then after you format the card in the phone you will only see 4Gb (well 3.7 actually).

    The latest version of OS 4.5 is downloadable from the link in the Stick at the top of the 83xx forums.
