If you have no SD Card then you are more likely to send/receive data using
the wirelesss network...you can't swap cards etc   I find it strange that
external SD Card is not supported.  SD Cards were supported in wm6.5

Make note that although the Focus has replaceable card - there's nothing
currently on the market that is supported by Microsoft, ie you won't be able
to get a bigger card for a while.

No - there is no more data. MSFT posted officially that it's a performance
issue. In order to deliver adequate performance only SD cards that meet
certain perf specs will be accepted. The perf specs do not match any of the
current "class" specifications that currently exist.

 

In terms of user access - no requirement in the spec for user access. The
fact that there are micro SD cards used by the vendor is just a cost measure
- to implement some other interface to memory would be more expensive (hence
some of the phones use an SD interface but have the memory soldered onboard)

 

Why do you think there is more data to be transmitted? The onboard storage
is the same - it's just that it's not user replaceable.

Apparently most of these phones use SD cards for their storage (even if
soldered to the board). Some appear to be replaceable (buy you may void your
warranty). You will also lose all your data as the phone creates a file
system that unifies the storage across any onboard storage and the SD card.

 

A couple of other points: no one knows what the minimum requirements for the
SD card are - MS hasn't released any certifications for 3rd party micro-SD
cards yet. And the phone implements the "secure" part of SD - it's
encrypted. If you want to use the card somewhere else, you need an SD card
reader that implements the necessary functionality to erase SD cards with
the security enabled.

 

Cheers
