Bold 9930 for Sprint, FYI

Hey all, I just wanted to pass this information along to all of you getting the new Bold 9930 from Sprint so you don't make the same mistake that I did. If you purchase through Sprint.com or the store, the new Bold 9930 does not come with a micro SD card at all. So, before you purchase one, talk to a rep and see if they would be willing to throw one in since it isn't included. Target.com offers a 2GB micro SD card with the purchase of a Bold 9930 for Sprint and I also believe Walmart and other retailers also offer a card with your purchase. So my best advice would be to either chat with a Sprint rep or just go through a retailer since they do offer a micro SD card with your purchase.

Me too... that's why I picked up a Sandisk MicroSDHC 8GB Class 4 card at Costco for only $17.88

I got mine at Costco, a Sandisk Micro SDHC 8GB class 4 for only $17.88 plus tax. I didn't think Sprint was going to include a Micro SDHC card.

Thanks! I'll be heading over there as soon as I can to get one for my soon to be 9930.

Yeah, it would be nice if they included a card but since I still have the 32GB card from when I bought the Thunderbolt I'm not concerned. Stinks, but not that big a deal.

Can I use the 4GB microSD that I've been using in my 9650? My 9930 is coming today and I didn't know it did not come with a card.

Absolutely. Be sure to copy anything you want to save onto another storage device. I'm not sure if it will require you to format (and erase) the card. Mine did, but I just took it out of a Droid.

Amazon.com has great deals on 32GB micro Sd cards. I picked one up for $50. Its a class 4 San Disk and works perfect with my 9900.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm going to get my 9930 on Wed and I'm going to try and see if they'll throw it in.. doubt it but nothing beats a fail but a try.

Going from BlackBerry to BlackBerry it should be a plug and play operation. I've run my 8 gig card from Curve to Tour to Style without a re-formatting.

No big deal for me that they didn't offer one. I already have an 8gb but plan on getting a 32gb. So a 2gb be wouldn't help me.
