    I recent got a 8820 from my company and i tried to insert a 4GB micro card which i was using in my ATT Tilt since 3 months. Each time i tried to insert the card, the phone would just black out with a red light indicator continuously blinking. If i remove the card then the desktop would appear again. Just wondering is it the card or the device? Note that the card works fine when i put it back in the Tilt. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    The 8820 might have a maximum address space size and hence not support 4GB.

    I have 2 GB myself but I'm not sure what the max is that is supported.

    Make sure that you have the microsd card installed correctly.

    BlackBerry devices that have media card capabilities are: 8100, 8300 and 8800.

    They all use a MicroSD card and have the following maximum card GB capacities:

    * 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

    The fact that �MicroSD� is written at the back of the BB 8820 phone makes me believe that it does not support MicroSDHC. The Maximum MicroSD card size is 2GB. Any card >2GB is a MicroSDHC. I need to talk to RIM support to confirm this.

    I can now confirm that only 2 GB seems to be working. Perhaps i will check with RIM for this.

    I have been using a 4 gig card in my 8820 for over 6 months. I have over 2.5 gig of music loaded and another 900 meg of video. All accessible. OS Ver 4.2.2 definitely supports 4 gig. I have also used this card in an 8830.

    Now... there have been numerous reports of bogus cards being sold on eBay and Amazon. I would be far more suspect of the card than I would of the 8820.
