    I need to get a SD card for the new Pearl...
    Not sure which to get Micro or Mini?

    I want a high speed Sandisk Ultra II 2GB, but can only find a 1GB.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    You can only use Micro SD.

    The 8130 takes a MicroSD card. No ideas on the best places to find them.

    Those are not Ultra 2s. They are much more than that.

    Yeah.. are ultra 2's faster or something?

    i just ordered a regular 2GB one:

    SanDisk 2GB microSD TransFlash Memory Card w/ SD and miniSD Adapters - microSD TransFlash Memory Cards

    I hope it's good enough!

    What makes a memory card "ultra"?

    Ultra means faster transfer speeds. I'm not even sure if the BB takes advantage of faster read/write speeds anyway. I've found the transfer speeds much much slower than anything else I own that uses SD cards but this is the first time I'm using a micro SD card.

    Just reading the latest posts. The Ultras are much faster. I have one in my New Desktop and it's a lot fast than the generic cards.

    Scan Disk 8GB Micro SD-HC Cards are on EBAY for anywhere between 75-85 dollars.

    Works great and gives me plenty of space for all my music and videos.

    Gives me no reason to lug an Ipod around as well.

    yea, I say go big or go home! I think its a waste of money to not get the 8gig. Who cares if its a little to much. More then likely your going to use up all the 2 gig then you are going to go to 4 gig, just buy the 8 gig!! Spend a little bit on your BB, it deserves it!

    Whatever SIZE card you decide to get just make sure it is either microSDHC (>4GB) or microSD (<4GB). These cards do not come as ULTRA. They are just microSDHC or microSD.

    Ignore the Sprint tech department and go straight to the source. This is what RIM says.

    Sprint only supports up to 2gb on the Pearl. At least thats what the tech department told me last week.
    Gosh, another distressing example of various carriers tech department ineptitude.

    My 8GB card seems to be working fine, I only have about 3 Gigs used up as of right now.

    I am having a freezing issue when my media card is inserted sometimes it freezes. But this is happening with a 1GB card as well and I do not think it has anything to do with the card, but with the phone.
