Works for BlackBerry 8310
I didn't see any reviews for this product, so I wanted to let you know that the 8GB (7.4GB usable) works on my BlackBerry 8310.
Interestingly, although the BB showed 8GB with the new card, I only saw 4GB (3.2 or 3.4GB usable) when I first connected to my laptop and the computer asked to format the card when I enabled Mass Storage Mode (I used this mode to...
Poor Kingston quality
Bought 2 Micro SD cards for Christmas for use in LG phones. The SanDisk works perfectly. This Kingston doesn't work. No computer can access it. Bad product. Stick with a better brand.
I didn't see any reviews for this product, so I wanted to let you know that the 8GB (7.4GB usable) works on my BlackBerry 8310.
Interestingly, although the BB showed 8GB with the new card, I only saw 4GB (3.2 or 3.4GB usable) when I first connected to my laptop and the computer asked to format the card when I enabled Mass Storage Mode (I used this mode to drag and drop into the BB). I could only see 4GB on my work computer as well.
However, after standalone reformatting the card (to FAT32) on my friends Compaq both of my computers (and phone) now properly see it as an 8GB card. My computer and phone information is below.
laptop: Win XP Pro w/ 4.2.2.12 BB Desktop Manager
work computer: BB desktop manager 4.6.0.12 with win2k pro
phone: curve 8310 with firmware: v4.2.2.170 and AT&T as provider
I'm looking forward to using the expanded storage!

- Device Compatibility
Using a microSDHC to MS PRO Duo Adapter, I am able to use the Kingston 8GB microSD in my Sony Cybershot DSC-W170 Camera -- it works like a charm; the camera has no trouble capturing pictures and videos (at a frame frate of 30 fps and a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels). All of my devices, such as my Garmin nüvi 360 and my HP iPAQ 111, are able to recognize the full capacity of the SD card.
- microSDHC Format
microSD cards of 4GB or larger are known more specifically as microSDHC cards. This 8GB Kingston card is therefore a microSDHC card. Beware that some older devices are NOT compatible with the microSDHC format. Such devices will only work with microSD cards with capacities of 2GB (such as this Kingston 2GB microSD card) or less.
(The technical specification for the SDHC/microSDHC format supports capacities ranging from 4GB - 32 GB. microSDHC cards of 16GB, such as this Kingston 16GB microSDHC card, is the largest capacity available as of this writing.)
- Class 4 Speed
This SD card is rated class 4 (data transfer rate: 4 MByte/sec, or 32 mbps) - sufficiently fast for the majority of electronics. A decidedly small number of electronics, most notably some camcorders and high-end cameras, require a class 6 SD card (the fastest transfer rate). Transcend makes one that's rated class 6.
- Frustration-Free Packaging
Amazon deserves top kudos for their Frustration-Free Packaging efforts in using only recyclable packaging materials and in keeping the amount of packaging used to a bare minimum. As a giant in the e-tailing industry, Amazon's move will no doubt serve as an impetus for getting the rest of the e-tailers to follow suit!

The Kingston memory card is compatible with devices that support the microSDHC format. It is a fast (class 4) memory card with plenty of storage. Definitely recommended if the specs meet your needs!

This review is from: Kingston 4 GB microSDHC Class 4 Flash Memory Card SDC4/4GB (Electronics)
I bought the Kingston 4gb micro SDHC card for my Blackberry 8830. At the current time, my particular Blackberry cannot accommodate a card larger than 4 gb, due to OS software that is not yet up to speed. The Kingston card is every bit as good as the more popular brands, with the exception of having a lower price. Be aware that using the included SD adapter is great...HOWEVER, if your laptop or desktop SD reader is not rated to read HC (high capacity) cards, then you may not be able to view the contents of the card or make changes using your computer(s). This happened to me, so I purchased a $10 USB SDHC card reader, and now I can use these higher-capacity cards in both my older laptop and desktop SD drives. Of course you can transfer data via a direct connection with your cell phone, for example, but it usually takes longer to do it that way.

This is a great SD Micro card. I'm using it as a memory card for my cell phone MP3 player. For those that are wondering, it does work with the LG Voyager.

I bought the 8 GB Kingston Micro SDHC card to expand memory - specifically for mp3 format songs - in my Blackberry Curve (I previously had a 2 GB card). I installed the latest Blackberry Operating System from RIM first, because I had a first-generation Curve, and had read reviews that said the old OS didn't support the bigger cards. I have had no problems at all with installation or the use of the card. Useable space was 7.4 GB at installation; I did not have to do any kind of formatting or other modificaton to use the card. It has been nice to expand the selection of music stored on my Blackberry from about 500 songs to over 800, with lots more room. This card did exactly what I bought it for, without any glitches at all.

This review is from: Kingston 4 GB microSDHC Class 4 Flash Memory Card SDC4/4GB (Electronics)
Great customer service & Free tech support at Kingston where you actually speak to a live person and it comes with a lifetime warranty which will likely keep me buying Kingston memory.
This memory card is being used as added memory in a Garmin Oregon 400t GPS receiver. Works perfectly and shows up as an external drive when connected via the Oregon's USB cable.
A minor issue people should realize, not with the memory card itself, is that above 2GB is considered high-capacity and only directly read by newer Vista computers and not other computers or scanner/copiers with card slots. Kingston told me a person either needs to transfer data from memory larger than 2GB while it is installed in the device or get a USB high capacity memory card reader.

I bought this 8GB card for my T-Mobile G1 and it works perfectly. I am using it to save my Itunes podcasts, music, my Android applications and my newest grandson's pictures. There still a lot of space left.

It works great. I bought it for my BlackJack. I forgot it doesn't work on my Card Reader since it is SDHC, but it is easy to transfer stuff onto it through my phone. It works great. I haven't had any problems.

This is a great product for anyone who has a cellphone that can use a microSDHC card. It works great on my Nokia E71 and completes the phones memory with a much larger availability of storage. I have over 200 songs on the card now and it still isn't even close to being filled.
Couple of things; this is a Class 4 with a minimum transfer speed of 4.0MB/s so its not the fastest card available (Class 6's can go up to 45.0MB/s, but since microSDHC cards seem to usually be reserved for cellphones there is really not much for need the increased speed. Considering the size of the card, it seems very easy to break or lose, which is something you should keep in mind if you have never used a microSD/HC card before. However, both the plastic for the adapter and the card itself feel relatively similar and durable as some more expensive memory cards that I own from Sony or Sandisk.
Other than that, I can see no real discernible difference in quality nor functionality between this and some bigger name brands. I have used a variety of Kingston products and have never been disappointed by them; they seem to be a good company that offers a range of products at hard to beat prices.
