I installed the firmware for Rogers 4.2.51 and that fixed this problem.. I am using a 2GB micrsd card and the device works just fine.

Can T-Mobile USA customers install the same upgrade for 2.0 GB compatability? Has anyone tried this?

I don't know how that would work with the T-Mobile settings working with a Rogers OS on the phone. Then again I am not an expert yet on BB's.

Hi- I'm a bit confused (this is my 1st BB), can I purchase any microSD's? Or do I have to get one that is specifically compatible with BB? On a link to this website, it states that the [specific] microSD won't be available to Nov. 7.

Search the threads, there are lots of posts on installing the Rogers OS on to the Pearl T-Mo.

Yes, you can, but you lose some features and the Rogers OS has some bugs.

Any MicroSD will work. Try to find the best price on the Net. Best deals have been about $28 to $33.

Beware that you do not mistakenly buy the MINI SD instead of the MICRO.

I went through Amazon which led me to eSmartBuy. They are selling the Kingston 1GB for $28 right now.

Best to stick to name brands, Kingston or SanDisk.

Great information on Micro SD cards for the pearl 8100. I use a 1 GB card for now and thinking about getting a larger one down the road...

OS upgrades are device specific, just download and install it on your PC and then find and delete vendor.xml start DM hook up your BB and you should be prompted to update.

Thanks, sanfrancisco (my most favoritest town in the U.S.).

Under the new OS, just got the 2gig card to work. Will be much easier to carry what I want on my phone now.

Had exactly the same problem- inserted a 2GB card and ended up with flashing red light and blinking screen. Very easy solution- uploaded the newer OS at the tmobile page and it took care of the problem immediately.

I have a bb pearl with a v4.2.0.69 OS from cingular and i was wondering if a 2GB micro SD card will work for my phone?

[Rcbjr]

Yes, you can use a 2GB micro SD in your Pearl

How about a 4GB?

[reddog187]

I don't think so Dochanson. The last OS update just let us have 2GB. You could try.
