Marion,

What's the actual *advantage* of not having an sd slot?

For whom ?  You ? Us ? The manufacturers ?

Ah, you bring up the most important point of all, Rudy.
AFAIK, there is only one advantage to NOT having an sd slot.

Than you have not understood what other people in this thread tried to make
you aware of.

And that is "someone else" gets to make a lot of money off of your
need for portable storage and especially your need for future portable
storage.
>
A *lot* of money.

:-)  Paranoia much ?

Occams razor : the simpelest explanation is most always the correct one.  In
this case its the manufacturer who doesn't need to buy them and having to
put them into your phone.  Its fractions of cents, but it adds up.

Note that Arno spread the nonsense that the only use of sd is for
expansion memory, and Arno spread the nonsense FUD about bad memory
blocks, but that just shows Arno doesn't understand what an sd slot
is and why it's there.

All I see you do is to claim, but not bringing *anything* forward to support
it. As such your claim is empty and meaningless.

All else being equal, a phone WITHOUT the sd slot is always a vastly
substandard phone than one with it *for the user*.

Yeah, I already got the feeling that your question wasn't at all an open
one, and that you would make that argument somewhere.  For the record, I
disagree.

That's because it's *impossible* to replace its functionality without it.

You have not even told us what you consider to be "its functionality", so
that is also an empty, meaningless claim.

To your point, cloud storage companies make a bundle off of people who
have phones without sd slots, as do the phone makers themselves make a
bundle.

No kiddo, to *YOUR* point.  Hint: if you try to use a certain trick too
often it starts to lose its power.

And again, a set of unsupported claims.

Also, most people have computers they can plug their phones into, and
transfer data both ways.  My phone ? I can plug an thumbdrive into it.   No
awkward fiddeling with a pin to get the external to elect the card.

Ofcourse, if you are a standard user than you can *choose* to take the
easiest road available, and do everything in the cloud.

IOW, if someone doesn't care, refuses to think and check for other options
than yes, those peope will pay for services they do not actually need.

To answer your question, it's *impossible* for there to be an
advantage to the user but it's clearly a huge financial advantage
to the phone makers!

So many things wrong in a single sentence. :-)

1) Feel fre to quote the question you are referring to in the above.  You
won't, as it doesn't exist.

2) There are advantages to the user, but those have already been mentioned,
and you obviously refuse to even acknowledge, let alone consider them.

3) Do tell us which *phone makers* offer also have cloud storage, and thus
benefit from not offering sd-card slots.

4) Explain to us how cloud storage is the only way available to a phone
without an SD card.

And by the way, you have made very clear that you refuse to answer my simple
internal/external/both question.  I hope you didn't think I would not notice
...

Which is exactly why they do it.

As you might have noticed, I disagree with you.

It's not for you.
It's for them.

Hmmmm... It makes producing of phones cheaper, and they have more room to
put other stuff into.  Thats certainly a "for them".

On the other hand, not having sd-card slots that can malfunction due to ill
treatment of them by a user (lots of extractions and insertions or just by
heavy-handedness) is definitily "for you"


Bottom line: You think you still need an sd-card, but have not even tried to
explain what for, and have concocted a paranoia "they are out to get us"
story to make it sound as if its *really* needed.

Rudy Wieser
