Memory cards vary widely in the way the work. SanDisk has proven reliable. When I wrote my post http://forums.crackberry.com/f2/micr...c-cards-46673/ I had already tried a couple of other makes of no-brandname cards that did not work.
There seems to be no real specification - I search Google fo about 2 hours looking for specifications. I suspect that there are minor timing differences between makes. Some work, some do not.
The thing to do is to make sure that you have right or refund at the store. I note in my article that if you buy a SanDisk card that is sold as bulk purchase, it will be cheaper but you do not have a SanDisk warranty. Your warranty is only with the vendor.

Ah yeah, that's what I had read, about the bulk/warranty, etc. I ended up getting a retail product for just about the same price anyway!
Anyone have issues with an 8GB card? I just got a (Sandisk) 8GB card and the Curve seems to want to call it a 4GB card, or it tells me to remove it and run error-checking software on it. (I've been running a 4GB card with no problems - just decided to go bigger.)
The card itself seems fine when I connect it to the computer via a card reader.
Are there any "tricks" to making an 8GB card work, or should it just work?

I'm running the stock 4.2 OS, FYI.
I think the particular model of your Curve may matter, but no matter what I think you'll need at least OS 4.3 for it to recognize 8GB.
Cool, me too. In fact, I just ordered it a few hours ago and I just got the email confirmation that it has shipped! Can't wait to try it out! I'm hoping this will fix the problem I have with the "stuttering" songs when I play music. Maybe the preinstalled card just isn't that good....

I just go with whatever is the cheapest. They all do the same thing.

Same here, the cheapest....wins.
I went to radioshack to get a 4gig card for $35 and the guy tried to sell me a 1 year warranty for for maybe $10, I told him in a year the card won't be worth $5 lol
i used a variety of different memory cards in my phones. i've used cheap versions like PNC, kingston etc. and i've also used better ones like sandisk they all work fine for me
I have a 1gb "TOPRAM" that my buddy gave to me. And it's been off and on. Sometimes it doesn't recognize the card, then if i do i soft reboot we're all good again. I think I'll be getting my hands on a 4gb San Disk sometime soon
