I have seen this question a couple of times and wanted to post this up. If anything changes, I (or a mod) will edit the post.
Details
A microSD media card is a removable flash memory data storage device. When inserted into a BlackBerry smartphone, it can extend the memory available for storing media files such as videos, ring tones, pictures, or songs. The media card is sold separately from the BlackBerry smartphone.
The following table lists BlackBerry Device Software versions and the supported media card size.

Aren't all cards above 8gb sdhc? Thought the newer os' supported sdhc.

I believe all cards above 2GB are technically SDHC cards
because MicroSD only went that high and after that they had to change the card hardware for it to work, hence the "HC" designation at the end. It has different infastructure inside to support larger memory sizes.
