With 16 GB Micro SDHC cards being easily available these days and available for as little as 38 USD, using one in your Blackberry phone would be the ideal solution to put an end to problems pertaining to storage space. With the numerous apps available via developer trials, app world downloads and OTA links, having more space would definitely be beneficial. Not to mention the huge amount of office files, music videos, audio files and other important files you could carry if you had so much space at your disposal. This guide will help you find out the maximum size of memory cards supported by your phone.
A simple way to find out the maximum micro sd card capacity compatible with your phone is to check the version of the Blackberry Operating System (OS) and compare it with the list below.
To determine the version of the Blackberry OS your smartphone is running follow the steps below
Step 1 - Start up the Options application from the main menu on your Blackberry (You may find this placed in a folder named Settings).
Step 2 - From the list that appears select the About option.
Step 3 - Note the numbers on the third line. This is the version of your Device Software.
Now check your Blackberry OS version's maximum supported memory card capacity in the list below -
BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0 - 2 GB or lower
BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.1 - 4 GB or lower
BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.2 - 4 GB or lower
BlackBerry Device Software 4.3.0 - 8 GB or lower
BlackBerry Device Software 4.5.0 - 8 GB or lower

As you can see from the list, SDHC support for high capacity memory cards was introduced from Device software version 4.3.0 and later. If possible try and update your phone to the latest version of the OS in order to use a larger capacity memory card on your device.
