Which microSD cards will work with your BlackBerry?

Posted by Joe on December 9, 2008 | 16 comments | Filed under : Quick Tips

One of the greatest things about newer BlackBerry models is the capacity for expanded memory in the form of an SD card. These are getting up there in capacity — you can get up to 32 GB now, and that will probably expand even further. Yet, they don’t necessarily work with all BB operating systems. After the jump, we’ll go over the OS compatibility for various size memory cards.

OS	Max SD Size
4.2.0	2 GB
4.2.1 / 4.2.2	4 GB
4.3.0 / 4.5.0	8 GB
4.5.0.81	16 GB
4.6.0	32 GB

That’ll give you a quick idea of what you can do with the OS you are running. If you’re new to memory cards, you can check out our guide to installing an SD card in your BlackBerry.

please help.
7 Paras March 2, 2009 at 1:34 am: Hi, how many Emails can be stored on a Blackberry 8830 World Edition. Can i store Emails and attachments on my SD Card. Can this be done without connecting my device to the computer. Can anybody please help me out here.
8 Joe December 30, 2008 at 3:50 pm: tresboi, if you have 4.5.0.102 you should be able to use an 8GB card.
9 Joe December 30, 2008 at 3:47 pm: bassman, you should be able to do all that with BlackBerry Desktop Manager. If not, you can connect your BB to your computer. When it asks you on your Berry if you want to use Mass Storage Mode, say yes. You’ll be able to manually drag your documents onto the drive.
10 bassman December 23, 2008 at 7:23 am: I have bought a microSD card, however, I have limited functionality with it. I would like use it to store docs to read however, I can’t find a decent software to do it. I can see attachments in email, however, I just want to use this as a mobile computer etc. I realize that I can put music on it etc. but I want productivity, functionality. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
11 tresboi December 20, 2008 at 12:39 pm: Does the card capacity only depend on the OS? For example, I’m running 4.5.0.102 on my 8100. Can I bump up to an 8mb card or am I limited to the 2mb size due to the phone being an 8100?
12 MattMrdck December 15, 2008 at 7:51 pm: Nice roundup – hoping Santa springs for a 16GB card this Xmas…
13 Joe December 15, 2008 at 10:05 am: I can’t recall, Jim, which OS came with my Curve. It was 4.3.0.something. Yes, it can be upgraded to .81, but I think you have to find it from another carrier.
14 Jim Turner December 14, 2008 at 2:56 am: Thanks for the info… what operating system comes w/BB 8330 Curve by Verizon?

Can it be upgraded to 4.5.0.81?

Thanks.

Jim
15 Nic December 10, 2008 at 2:23 pm: What is the estimated price for each card 8gb^?
16 Chris December 9, 2008 at 10:41 am: Good info! Now if I could just get the official 4.5 OS on my Sprint BB….
