Isn't the card on those phones behind the battery, so you are expected to just buy it once and leave it there forever as added storage?

- contextfree 16y agoYou as a customer are not expected to replace the card at all. It's intended for the manufacturer.
- sudont 16y agoAnything accessible without a screwdriver is generally considered user-upgradeable. A bit of a design faux pas, especially considering the precedent set by Apple in their recent consumer hardware.
- fragmede 16y agoIn at least one case, you can't replace the card without voiding the warranty. http://www.gadgetvenue.com/dell-venue-pro-wp7-microsd-card-slot-covered-warranty-sticker-11102024/ http://www.gadgetvenue.com/dell-venue-pro-wp7-microsd-card-s...
- xpaulbettsx 16y agoYes, exactly - the phone manufacturers really screwed this up; it was never intended that people would even know that the phone had an SD slot, much less that they would sell it as a feature. Just pretend that the SD card slot doesn't exist.
- rbanffy 16y agoOn my Android phone I have to remove the battery before removing the card. I assume it is so that the card is properly unmounted before I can take it out.
- archangel_one 16y agoI don't on mine - IIRC the phone shows a stern message if I just pull the card out, but it's not caused any major issues (not that I've been seriously stress testing this!).
