Re: Blackberry Pearl 8130 -how do you install new memory card?

I'd like to add a couple of details to the other posts, as I had a hard time figuring it out even with that help. This is for models without an existing Micro SD card.  I bought a 4GB SanDisk at Staples for $13.

  • Remove the back cover
  • Remove the battery.
  • There is a small, silver plate in the center of the phone back with the words "lock" and "unlock".  I needed a magnifier to read it, even with reading glasses.  Slide it to the unlock position.  It should pivot up on hinges from the end nearest the top of the phone.
  • If you look closely, there are tiny, tiny clips underneath that will allow you to slide the SD card into them.  Sadly, the way the card should face will have the writing on the card upside down compared with the writing on the clip.  The card should sort of snap in place in the clip.
  • Push the clip back down to where it was and slide it to the locked position.  If it doesn't go easily, the card is not in the holder all the way. 
  • Then replace the battery and cover.

Hope that helps.
