"It's not a bug, it's a feature".
SD slot is to be "hidden" underneath the battery cover and it's not actually intended to be used by end-users, most of them nor will know about the existence of it, nor will care. It was announced a while ago (in a specs for WM7 phones I think). For more tech-savvy people it is indeed strange that there is an SD card there that you can't use as you are used to, but that's a minority, and when one actually think about it a little it comes out as not being that big issue: "MS decided to use SD cards for internal data storage, OK, fine".

- adolph 16y agoAre they covered up by warrantee stickers, etc? If not, then putting them under the battery is a signal to consumers to not remove/exchange when the device is on, like a SIM card. Non-technical people seem pretty adept at changing SIM cards, why would they think memory is any different? [Yes, yes, removing the SIM while in operation won't hose the typical phone's OS, yada-yada-yada.]
- xpaulbettsx 16y agoThe problem is that some people like AT&T didn't get that, and are telling customers to just "add your own SD card!"
