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

Your Name,

The reality is that:

A.  It's the moronic know-nothing troll "Marion" / "Arlen",
   best completely ignored.

Thats what I normally do too.  But once-in-a-while I respond, to check if he
has changed.  He hasn't.

B.  Most users don't even know what an SD card is, let alone need or want
to bother to ever use one.

And as a result of not informing themselves they than pay whats called the
"stupid tax". :-)

   At best they get conned into buying an over-priced internal one when
they buy the Android phone by the greedy commission
   saleperson.

Some phones have very little build-in memory, and depend on such an sd-card
to extend it.  If it than gets written to very frequently (or at high
speeds) you can't just go with a cheap one - it would wear out fast (ors
simply won't function) and the phone would be blamed.   In such high-usage
cases (or high speeds) you really need a "better" sd-card - and those cost a
bit more.

But yes, you can be the unlucky consumer who falls into the claws of an
unscrupulous salesperson.  Than again, you can fall into their hands
regardless of the product you're buying. :-|
