 As far as we know, it requires powering-down the phone.

Alternative:
- small capacitator parallel to the battery
- script/function that
-- unmount the SD
-- let the phone sleep for a while

This is why I'm not in favor to produce the Neo1973 as fast as possible
- small features make the hardware much more smart.

Imagine you would like to copy from on mikroSD to another mikroSD
what a pain when you have to reboot and only the rest memmory of
you 64 MB flash...

With the capacitator you could use the free memory of your RAM (128 MB)
and I can imagine that it would be possible run a copy mode system
that let you have 120MB free RAM to copy
:)

Hope that I haven't to hack my Neo1973 myself with my solder iron :)

I know it's probably too late, but why not have the ability to access
the MicroSD from the outside of the device?  Such as in the Sansa e200
series devices?

To me it make far more sense.  I found the Nokia solution very
annoying.  Especially when it would crash while transferring large
files to and from the phone with bluetooth.  Fortunately here in
Europe we haven't been locked down to relying on the network providers
to be able to access our photos, but I personally don't care for
cameras on phones either.  Of more interest to me personally would be
the smart phone capability with audio and video playback.

As an aside, I'm assuming that it's planned to have a Flight mode
for the phone to allow the use of it in aircraft without the
transceiver of the device being active?

Hmm but without rebooting I could live with a microSD slot 
under the battery. The capacitator would also help to change
the SIM card without rebooting :)

Oh, when having a hang um a capacitator could be a problem
- no hard reset by putting out the battery 
so my capacitor solution would create a need for a reset button

Yes.

I would prefer a mutipexer for 4 sim cards...

Why will a cloned SIM not work for you? See:

I didn't know that it is possible to clone a SIM.
I thought they are crypto-chips and have a hidden
key.

needs also

not so cheap - but interesting :)

Couldn't be such a scaner and writer included inside the Neo1973?
