    If you are considering a 4GB or larger card, you need to consider that HC cards have compatibility issues with older devices. Be sure your blackberry says it is compatible with microSDHC. You may also have to purchase a microSDHC reader to use the card with your computer. Pete6 has done the research for you here: http://forums.crackberry.com/f2/micr...c-cards-46673/

    so 4.5 is for vodafone only -is it necessary for me to upgrade from 4.2.2.whatever to 4.3?

    No it's not for Vodaphone only.
    It can be installed on any carrier,
    but may put your warranty at risk,
    as it is not an AT&T official release.

    As to your necessary question, no it isn't
    necessary. But if you are new to this I'd
    suggest getting to know how your phone
    works first. And this would be a good place
    to start.

    That is correct. Verizon's recent 4.2.2.196 release is an exception to the general rule that Garz quoted. It's the only exception, to my knowledge.
