Some other WP7 phones can take an SD card as a semi-permanent storage expansion.
Specs here: http://www.pcworld.c...ec_smackdown.html say the Nokia Lumia 800 can't. That's dissappointing.

Re: SD Card?
It'll have an internal SD card slot, like my current HTC Mozart.
It's just that getting at it will void your warranty and then some. |

Wondering why?
http://www.engadget....and-how-nokia-ca/
This is the root cause. Microsoft had never intended Windows Phone 7's storage to be expandable, swappable, or removable. Now explain this to Gramma... the phone randomly generates a password that it stores in its internal Flash and then uses to secure the card, essentially bonding the card with the phone. By its design, a password-secured SD card (or microSD card in this case) can be read only with the password; otherwise, your only option is to erase it. So, once used in a WinPhone, the card becomes useless anywhere else, and if you do swap it out, the phone will not recognize the new card. Given who will be fielding the irate calls, I can see the the OEMs being kingly asked to avoid this possibility altogether by not having a card slot to begin with. |
