The Samsung Focus has 1GB ROM for the OS. and a built in 8GB additional internal storage. The MicroSD slot in question extend that internal storage like adding drives to a raid-0 array. MS also requires the slots to be in the battery compartment so that people don't think they can pop cards from their camera in and out like they might do if the slot was external.

New That could just be an artifact
My Blackberry has a MicroSD slot under the battery. Just tight packaging, as far as I can tell.

New I think there's a design intent there.
My HTC Hero and all the Sony Ericsson phones I've had have their memory card slots accessible without removing the battery, in all cases this is quite deliberate.

OTOH, I know Nokia got lambasted for hiding the game cartridge slot in the original N-Gage under the battery.
