Using a media card
Want more space to store your ring tones, videos, pictures, and songs? For additional space to save documents and media 
files, you can insert a microSD card into your BlackBerry device. Using a media card can help to increase the performance 
and power efficiency of your device.
You might be able to move large amounts of data by simply moving the media card into another device that supports the 
microSD card.
Supported media cards
Your BlackBerry device supports media card sizes up to 64 GB. Only microSD cards are supported.
To use a media card larger than 32 GB, you may need to format the media card to FAT32 format. You can use your device 
to format your media card.
