5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent choice for my Blackberry Curve, July 13, 2008

By	L. T. Beasimer "LBphoto.net" (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I tested the possibility of using my BlackBerry 8310 Curve as my primary mp3 player with an inexpensive Kingston 2GB microSD card. I ran into several issues in the process, but learned how to overcome them.

The Curve limits the file size transfers when they are sent to the phone's storage. This protects the phone from running out of memory. The trick is ensuring you are transferring files to the card instead. If you map drives on your computer, the first available drive is automatically used for the Curve's memory card. At home this is my F drive while at work it is K. If any other device is mapped to that drive, the Curve's memory card will not be recognized.

Additionally, there are settings that may need to be changed to allow music file transfers. Go to "Settings", then "Options" to click on "Media Card." Set "Mass Storage Mode Support" to ON. Also set the "Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected" to YES or PROMPT.

Initially to save music, I needed to remove the card from my Curve and transfer files directly from my computer. This is where the adapter, which converts the microSD card to full-sized SD card, comes in handy. After removing the Curve's battery, I simply popped the microSD card into the adapter and used my computer's SD drive. Do not format the card in the Curve, as it will only recognize half the storage space. If you must format, do so on your computer instead. Now that I have everything set up properly, this card does the job without worries.

PROS:
Good price
Reliable card

CONS:
None

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great!, May 5, 2008

By	Kalves (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

I bought this micro card for my AT&T 8925 Tilt (HTC TYTN) phone and it works perfectly. I took a chance that the phone would support that size and it does (the AT&T specs list the max capicity as 2GB). I recommend also purchasing an adapter so you can use it as an SD card if you have a digital camera that takes that format. It would have been nice to have that as a package deal as opposed to giving the thumb drive adapter - but it's still a deal even with the few extra dollars for the adapter. If you have the Tilt and want plenty of storage space go ahead and buy this card.

1.0 out of 5 stars BE AWARE - Technical Details stated Class 4 yet sent Class 2, October 27, 2008

By	David "here.david" - See all my reviews

When I order this item the Technical Details stated Class 4 with the Bulk picture showed no case, as is the case sometimes. I just received a class 2 so look at my printout to confirm and then the current listing. I see they have corrected the picture yet not the Technical Details as they still list this as a class 4. Seems like a bait and switch, so I asked for a refund and/or a Class 4 whichever they prefer. I will add the outcome to the feedback once I hear back from them........

Class2 is 2mb speed whereas class 4 is 4mb speed. At Fry's the Class 2 runs about the same as this with the Class 4 a little more, however, it is a 50 mile drive or about $5 extra so I trusted Amazon to ensure business was above board. Now I have to deal with the company not Amazon whom I ordered from. Will have to rethink this business model depending on the outcome.
