3.0 out of 5 stars Standard MicroSD - a little outdated on speed/capacity at the time of this review, April 26, 2010

This review is from: Kingston 4GB Micro SDHC With Adapter (Personal Computers)

Any Blackberry, phone, MP3 player, camera or GPS that accept a MicroSD card could use this card and there is nothing in this product that would make it Blackberry specific to the exclusion of other uses or devices.

MicroSD is an industry standard and these cards have become very much a commodity item. What you get if you purchase this item is the standard, somewhat dated - as in 'small capacity' - MicroSD card. At the time of this review, the 8/16GB size may offer more value if cost per GB is considered. My strategy when shopping for a memory card is to first determine the capacity I need, then shop for price and, on something this inexpensive, I would make sure to factor in the shipping charge.

PERFORMANCE

This card's 'Class 4' speed is the equivalent of a CD's 26x speed rating and should guarantee a MINIMUM of 4MB/s - more than enough when it comes to music playback or slideshows on a small screen but not always sufficient when playing a video. Unlike the 'x' ratings, the speed class ratings are NOT certified by an independent body so you will have to decide whether you trust the card's maker - Kingston is quite a reputable brand so I would not dispute their rating.

Practically, if you are going to use this card in a Blackberry, it should be more than adequate for playing music and you should do well with most video for as long as the resolution and the frame rates are not too high. If you need better performance, look for a higher 'class' number 133x/Class 20, for example, should support 20 MB/s or writing up to 10 12-megapixel JPG photo files per second.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES/CONCERNS

The card comes with a 'full' SDHC adapter. This can be helpful if you need to interface with a computer. You may still need a USB card reader to interface with the SDHC if your computer lacks a SDHC interface or you may access the card by connecting the device itself (phone, camera) to the computer.

RATING

A memory card can distinguish itself through reliability, speed, capacity and price. The Kingston brand name should give this card some assurance when it comes to reliability. Its speed and capacity are no longer tops, in fact they are a little below par and the price is more or less where most cards of these specs sell for these days. A 3-stars rating at Amazon means "It's Okay". There's nothing wrong with this card for as long as a low cost, low capacity, relatively low speed card is what's needed. I am using Class 4 MicroSD and SDHC cards myself in MP3 players and picture frames but at this time 8GB would be the minimum size I would pay for.

I bought this card for my blackberry pearl 8110.I had to format the card for it to work and it works great.The price is great too knowing now that I got ripped off at the at&t store a couple of years earlier for paying nearly 30 dollars for a 2gb card.

The Kingston 4GB Micro SDHC card with Adapter is great for the money. I love the fact the Adapter came with the micro card. I have ordered and been shipped the micro card without the Adapter, which makes it hard to give someone as a gift. This product is will worth the money. LOVE IT!
