FAQ: Supported MicroSD Card Sizes By BlackBerry OS
Filed Under (Blackberry News) by admin on 30-09-2008
When we mentioned that 16GB MicroSD cards were starting to appear online I could not find a RIM specification letting us know what sizes are supported by each OS. Viscafe kindly supplied us with a link to a RIM knowledgebase article detailing which OS supports what size. Did you know that OS 4.5.0.81 supports 8GB & 16GB cards??? It also confirms that the Bold supports 16GB cards.
From the knowledgebase article:
The following table lists BlackBerry Device Software versions and the supported media card size.
| BlackBerry Device Software | Media Card Size Limit |
| BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0 | Up to 2 GB |
| BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.1 | Up to 4 GB |
| BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.2 | Up to 4 GB |
| BlackBerry Device Software 4.3.0 | Up to 8 GB |
|
BlackBerry Device Software 4.5.0
|
Up to 8 GB |
| BlackBerry Device Software 4.5.0.81 and above | Up to 16 GB |
| BlackBerry Device Software 4.6.0 | Up to 16 GB |
Media cards that use Secure Digital 2.0 (SD 2.0) flash memory format, MicroSDHC, can support data storage up to and above 2 GB.
