is the 4gb microsd card compatible with the LG VX8700 with the original firmware (T87VZV01) ?

My family has an LG VX8700 with the original firmware T87VZV01

 

I've read comments from a few people who said they were able to use the 4gb microsd card with this phone, but they did not specify what firmware was on their phone. I'm aware that there were two firmware updates (one of which was supposed to make the phone compatible with the 8gb microsd card). But since this phone is out of warranty I'm uncomfortable with having the firmware updated by Verizon in case something goes wrong.

I have the same phone with firmware T87VZV02. I have an 8GB card installed to the brim filled with music.

Go to any Verizon store to have firmware T87VZV02 installed. Make sure you remove the storage card before they do the upgrade, since it may delete the info you have on the card.

 Thank you for your help. We just bought a new VX8700 on ebay to replace a VX8700 whose inner display screen stopped working. Also, I noticed that your registration date is the same as the date when you posted your reply. That was very kind of you to register on here just to post a reply to help me.

 

The firmware on our new VX8700 is version3 T87VZV03.  We look forward to buying and trying out an 8gb memory card on it !

 

When we bought a 4gb memory card for another make/model phone, prior to the display screen not working we tested it on the T87VZV01 VX8700 and found that it seems to be completely compatible.
