Turn Your BlackBerry Into an iPhone


By the end of this year, the iPhone won't be the only smart phone with a Nano's worth of memory (8-gigabyte, which holds about 1,000 songs and a couple of movies).That's because SanDisk plans to launch 8-gigabyte (GB) microSD High Capacity (microSDHC) memory cards by the end of the year.

This means phones such as the BlackBerry Curve, the BlackBerry 8800, and the Pearl will be expandable to 8GB, and, presumably, more as the memory card sizes increase (the maximum memory card size on the market right now is 4GB). Right now, just a few phones have the capability to accept these high capacity cards, but the situation should improve by the end of the year.

So, if you purchased a Curve or a Pearl, you don't need to kick yourself in the pants for not having waited for the iPhone. Chances are that the sizes of microSD memory will grow as quickly, if not faster, than the sizes of the iPhone's internal memory.
