    I used a micro sdhc. Had to upgrade to OS v4.5 to get the full 8Gb on the card I used.

    I think the latest OS that the 8820 is compatible with is the 4.5.0.124. See sticky at top of this forum for that one.

    I upgraded to the 4.5 version linked in the sticky at the top of the forum, and my 8gig works perfect.

    Hey Guys Am Running On Os 4.5.0.77 And The Guys At Bestbuy Told Me That The 16gb Would Not Work On My Bb Curve 8330 Only The 8gb And So Far So Good Even After Looking Up The Info, So Far I Can Put Like 3-4 Movies, Lots Of Pics And Music And Still Have Like Almost 4gb Left On It. And When I First Put My 8gb Card In My Bb And After I Formated It It Read Like 7.3gb I Think They Take A Little Space After U Format It But It Works Great. Thanks For The Info Guys.
