As I understand it the lack of SD cards because of the way file transfers are done. At least this was the case with the galaxy nexus. The newer phones are using MTP instead of the USB key (don't know the technical term) type of connection. Apparently that makes using an SD card a problem. I almost didn't get the nexus because of it, but it was suggested to me do I need more than 16 gigs and the answer from all my previous phones was no, not even close. So I decided to get it.Looks like a great phone. Loving HTC Sense 4, very sharp, clean and minimal. Pity on the lack of SD card, was one of Android's differentiators. Are Android users moving away from SD cards to the cloud?

Ah, thanks for clarifying. Windows Phone is also going this way. I suspect its to avoid the problems that come with how Windows Phone handles SD cards.As I understand it the lack of SD cards because of the way file transfers are done.

Only for 2 years. I think its more of a kick back for HTC and clever campaign for Dropbox.The HTC comes with a free 25GB Dropbox account....that could be reason for not offering SD support.....save a couple of bucks on manufacturing
If you take public transport, are sitting in a waiting room, taking a flight or similar situations, it's awesome.i don't see the point of watching movies on ur phone, kids these spend at least 22 hours a day texting....
Yup. I rarely care if I'm in a line (within reason) anymore.If you take public transport, are sitting in a waiting room, taking a flight or similar situations, it's awesome.
So why can't they add 32 GB and increase the price by $40?As I understand it the lack of SD cards because of the way file transfers are done. At least this was the case with the galaxy nexus.

You'd have to ask HTC that.So why can't they add 32 GB and increase the price by $40?
