just got new pearl 8130 use mostly for calender addressbook and photos which memory card should i invest in

[berrywhite]

1gb should suffice! Now if you want to watch videos or DL Music you will want something bigger.

[daddybear]

the biggest one you can comfortably afford...

it will quickly fill up with photos, videos, music, etc...

Thanks. I was told to purchase a 4g card (non CB). But, the phone will use a 2g max.

Hey..I ordered a 2gig Kingston card from Newegg for 20.99 plus a $3 rebate. Amazon has a SanDisk 2gig for slightly cheaper.. $16.99, I believe!

I have a 4g sandisk which works and it shows 3.7g free at this time and thats with 30 songs on it.

plus pics can get up to a 1mb... so if you snag lots...you might consider a higher capacity...

I got a 2gb on ebay for 20 bucks. Yay!

Clearly it would have been worth time and money NOT to have stopped by Best Buy on the way home from Verizon...

Question:

Verizon states that this phone can handle up to 8 GB MicroSDHC cards.

I am using Sprint, but, a 4 GB card is HDSC like the 6 GB one I just bought. It should work, right?

By the way, after quite a bit of searching, I found this 6 GB card w/ adapters for $70 (SanDisk). If anyone would like to know where, just let me know and I'll dig the link back up.

[Archer_The_Pk]

amazon has a deal for a 6gp for $70 and also 2gb cards for $16 a pop! (didnt know 6gb was out yet)

RIM offers a service for Blackberry support. The # 877-255-2377

However, I called 4 times and finally just pretended i was going to purchase the 8130 Pearl, because there tech support cost money, but the blackberry purchase hotline does not. I like the think i am Sneaky...

I pretended so i could ask the simple question "What size memory card is the 8130 Pearl compatible with?"

RIM said the 8130 Pearl is there newest product and is compatible with, up to, 8GB HD-SDHC card, or just simply SDHC card.

Since the really sweet blogger baby daycare will not let me post a URL.
Amazon... Search Electronics for Sandisk
Page 10 - I found a 6GB for $65.35 (w/ Micromate reader)
Page ?? - Also the 4GB for $38.95 (w/ reader)
Page 10 - 2GB w/ reader for $18.91


Hope this helps.

As verification, I have received my 6 GB MicroSDHC card, and when I pushed it in....

That's all I had to do. Everything works fine (thus far). Shows as 5.6 GB free.

[biomimetic]

I've read that the Sprint model will still take the 8gig SDHCs. I'm a tech for Sprint- but I'll tell you it took me a while to track down that much information. its not posted anywhere- not even in the manual. I'm going to test it out as soon as I get my 8gig in a week or 2.

[corbetar]

I am using a SanDisk 8 gb mircoSD and it works fine. Got it at the verizon store with my corporate discount for a little over $90.

[billnye]

wow, suddenly my 2 gig card seems entirely insufficient to get the job done
