What's more surprising is that you didn't do your homework before you bought the phone.
You're probably one of the only one's with this phone who has a problem with the lack of mem slot. The other 99.9% of us were fully aware of this, and didn't care, as I don't see how I could fill up all 16gb, given that there are cloud music services and what-not nowadays.

How does internal memory sucks?
I mean, the SD Card feature is really nice to have and silly not to include it. But it was not included because there wasn't enough room for it with NFC and all of that.
It sucks that we don't have sdcards but we can live without it. Am I saying future phones shouldnt feature it anymore? No. I think it should definitely stay. But can we live without them? Sure.
my biggest complaint about lack of sdcard is all the people who refused to get this phone due to it saying no sdcard slot is stupid they would never buy a phone that has "locked" storage... and then pull out their ipod...

It's even funnier when people criticize the phone (way back when it first came out) and was like without a sd card, you cant flash ROMs. That's what makes me laugh so hard. If they made the iNAND to be 32GB instead of 16GB I bet it would of made more consumers happy
The whole no sdcard is a misconception because they think the phone itself doesn't have storage.

Classic! Although I filled an sd with 16g already all it took was many 720 p recordings on the epic camcorder, 4 movies (hangover, pulp fiction, kat williams pimp chronicles, and lord of war) plus half my music collection. Oh and about 15 diff nandroids which can get pretty big (that's what she said). It really was pointless keeping all that on the as but I did because I could

16 gigs gets small to fast. If anyone has tried to get inside the one X and add say 32 gigs?

Cloud storage is crap when you want to use your phone on the go and have data limits.
And yes someone opened up their phone and it has the memory soldered onto the board so no you can't just pop in a replacement one. The pictures were in another thread I don't remember where.

Btw, I am paying $2.99 a month for 25gb on Google cloud in addition to my Dropbox account and if I want more space I can get 100gb for $10.
I can't get videos to stream from Dropbox without first marking the file as a Favorite (which then makes a local copy). So cloud storage is not a great solution. And that was using WiFi. I know Dropbox just a day ago updated their app for better streaming support but I haven't tested it yet. I hope it works better.
The storage is a 16GB Samsung NAND chip that is soldered to the board there is no way to upgrade it.

The trick is to hack the phone to make Dropbox think you have a different phone. Dropbox gives out more storage to Samsung GS3 than to the HTC One X. Look it up and you'll find the way to do it. But I agree it is a bit unethical. I'm happy with what I got from Dropbox for HTC devices.
How many others think SD Card slot should be added to Google's minimum hardware requirements for Android?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Google doesn't have minimum hardware requirements on anything about Android which is one of the reasons why its so open but fragmented.
Manufacturers didn't listen to Google anyway when they wanted to add softkeys as seen on the gnexus. GS3? Old layout, capacitive, and single physical button. HOX? New layout but capacitive.
MOTO seems to be listening but probably because Mobility was bought by Google

Regardless of the google requirements, I think all manufacturers should think that microsd is mandatory. I have never purchased a phone/camera/pda etc in the last 10 years without sd/microsd.

Hi
Personally I would like an SD slot to be available on all Android devices. I would have loved for the HTC ONE X to have an expandable memory slot as I have had a few HTC devices and always been happy with them. My upgrade is due in a few months and for me anyway that is THE only deciding factor for choosing the Galaxy SIII over the One X. Both in my opinion are very good handsets and certainly do what I would want to do with them. But was gutted to see that there was no expandable slot. Yes, I know in these days 'Cloud services' will cater for most peoples needs, but I dont know why but I have always been wary of such services. Again, yes...I know, I am probably just being paranoid but for me nothing beats a memory card slot. :good:
All the contrary

Unfortunately, this is now all the contrary. Nexus devices will never have a SD slot, and Google would like manufacturers to do the same.

Can you cite a source for that last snippet of info?
Google have, to my knowledge, never dictated hardware to manufacturers for Android.
Internal memory is only going to get bigger, with 16GB being the minimum, and then a couple of years later 32GB will be the minimum.
OTG will remove the need for the removable feature as you will be able to get card readers to plug into the phone's socket.
With 4G speeds syncing to a cloud will be quick so the security/privacy/data loss through involvement with a toilet risks will be out weighed, or you'll sync to your home PC (something I'd much prefer) rather than through a 3rd party.
While it would be cool, I do not think google would ever do it.

The day Google post a minimum system requirements for android phones, that day the user experience will be always fine! :highfive:
I think google will recommend manufacturers not to have ad card slot. Anyway IMO .. OTG is good enough

When the galaxy nexus came out there was reasons given for why they wanted to move away from sd. If anything google would be more likely to specify no sd slot.

If they completely remove micro SD card, then these phones shouldn't be called "smartphones", but "mediaphones". Even "dumbphones" have micro SD card slots, why shouldn't smart phones?

I'm starting to really lust after the Nexus 10. I wonder how different it is compared to the Note 10.1. I like the dual-front-facing speakers, but the S-Pen could be cool to have.
ive been burned by the last 2 nexus devices and i won't be fooled again, not even for key lime pie. i also wouldn't even think of owning a lg device. the gs3 will get android 4.2 in some form or another.

officially i don't think we will ever get it. but i suspect the cm team will be working on it by years end.
I'm watching the video now, Google is doing a great job.
Google won't release source until the Nexus 4 is released. Then i bet the Galaxy Nexus will be the first to get a custom build going. THEN we might see some AOSP ports for the S3. Who knows when but i wouldn't hold my breath. My guess is Spring time 2013. Glad i still have my GN, might have to trade back with the gf lol.
We don't even have 4.1 yet, and there is no hope of a stable build till an official VZW release. All the AOSP JB roms you see have issues.
We can expect 4.2 on this phone by the time KeyLimePie is announced, if we're lucky.
off topic but i really want htc & moto to make a nexus. i was hoping the rumor of multi-oem's making them would come true.

Guess it comes down to how much hassle I want. If I used the cloud I'd have to only keep 1 or 2 movies for offline viewing, and recycle as necessary to manage 16gb. Gonna have to think about this one. $100 of storage versus $100 of accessories and play store purchases.

Seriously though.
My 32gb seems to lag a bit. Transition animations are jerky, and there's a half second lag when pressing the home button. That's after freezing all the bloat, disabling S Voice, and using Nova Launcher. Still like it though, just hoping some ROMs will make it smoother.
I'm glad I switched to 32 gb just for the fact it is made in Korea.
