The RIM website says that the 8300 will take MicroSD cards and "the amount of storage is determined by card capacity". This review confirms that a pre-production 8300, took a new 4GB MicroSD card and worked well:

I read that too and thought the same thing.

I grinned from ear to ear

I can confirm that the 4gb MicroSD works great on the 8830 World edition. :-)

So where can someone find the 4GB card?
~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~

[kayos72]

waterwerks, welcome to the stacks. I think the largest card that the pearl will take as of right now is 2g.
any other questions please ask

Do we know if the 8300 is supposed to be generally SDHC-compliant? Or do we just know of this specific instance of a 4gb card working?

Not sure if it is, however IF it is SD HC compliant, Samsung is releasing an 8gb MicroSD HC card soon!

dolphinrich, thanks for the post! Mine's on order! (8830 that is)

For those of you that may be looking for the 4gb Micro SD card, here is a link to Verizon's website. You may need to enter your zip code to get to the page.

I can confirm that it is compatible with the Blackberry 8830. I have not tested it on any other Blackberrys or Cell phones.

Scoll to the bottom of the page.

Let me know if you have any issues with the link.

Enjoy.

Nice, thanks for the link (it's a SanDisk 4gb for $100 for those that may not be able to follow it right now)

Here is another link I just found online: http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4159987
it is for a Coby 4gb microSD card for $40. Doesn't say anything about being the MicroSDHC. Never heard of the brand but thought I'd post it for anyone interested.

Awesome, now I can go ahead purchase my 4gb micro SD. Thanks for the info

[jjames42]

I can state that the 4 GB card does in fact work. I just picked on up today.

Added:
By the way, these card are $99 at you local Verizon Store.
