Unless you are a heavy music listener, have a gazillion pics and seeing the BB will not hold apps on a memory card, what would be the reason for an 8GB card? Just curious. I have a 1GB card and can't seem to get close to filling it.

i fill my 2GB pretty quick with video and music, so i can see the desire to use a 8GB. i wouldn't have to rotate files around so often.
An 8 Gig card allows you to store videos, TV shows to your BB to watch later also. 1 Gig would be used up in a flash. I'm hoping the updated OS for the 1st gen Pearl fixes the compatibilty issue!

Videos, mp3s, pictures, I can get a SanDisk 8GB MicroSDHC for $50! But I'm sure the videos will take up the most room.
I'm guessing this is another one of those questions that no one knows the answer...
I really would like to know, because I would hate to buy the 8GB and it wont recognize it.
Here's a little
explaining the difference between 1st & 2nd gen.
If you just got your BB 8130 (Sprint) you have the Pearl 2. I have the red one. Just got it about a week ago and the 8130 recognizes the 8GB card just fine. At this point, dont know what else to tell you.

Here is the compatibility for the memory, scroll to the bottom, it say first gen and next gen.
Based on your join date (forum) and Carrier (Sprint) I did say that the 8GB card would work in your 8130. I dont know if Sprint ever had a 1st gen Pearl, but I know for a fact that if you got it in March or soon after, you have a 2nd gen.
No, Sprint never had the 1st gen Pearl, only the Pearl 2 was made for CDMA and EVDO.

Thanks Slvr. I wasnt completely sure about 1st gen. I did know that 2nd was for CDMA; but to n00bs like myself, calling it a 2nd gen does make one wonder what happened to the 1st one.
