Here is why the Nokia Lumia 920 has no microSD card slot

22. andro. posted on 06 Sep 2012, 10:26 21

Considering the huge unnecessary black bezel below the screen also you'd think they would fit a micro sd slot.

Agreed, but the real question is why they didn't just make the screen 1/2 inch longer to fill the bezel?

the reason why i decided not to buy HTC one x.

Such a lame excuse indeed!

It already has a SIM slot, what would be so hard about adding a Micro-SD slot? I admit, I'm not an engineer or anything, but it seems to me like adding another port wouldn't compromise the phone's form all that much.

At least it has 32GB of built-in storage, instead of the AT&T One X's woeful 16GB.

because he's a hypocrite that is blowing smoke out their ass due to the fail of their presentation.

I like the Lumia 920 but 32gb is not enough for me really.... i have a N9 64GB... and my data reached half of the storage. Not MicroSD card come on.... did you guys try your best by putting a microSD slot. how's that could hurt the design.... I'm smelling something like lumia 920 with MicroSD card coming soon.

At least windows devices finally have the capability to put up a fight against ios's popularity and Android's domination. The main thing keeping Nokia afloat is there pureview 808 and now the 920

6. wendygarett posted on 06 Sep 2012, 09:55 6

Actually i don't mind whether it have microSD or not. It just that wp8 has finally has this feature and nokia doesn utilise it...

that's sad :(

32Gbs is fine with most users, also as Kevin Shields said it would compromise the polycarbonate unibody.

If only they sold the 808 PV at the price they originally quoted (450 euro before taxes). Then it would have sold a lot better.

But as usual Nokia favored WP devices by either
- crippling features (Nokia 700 with a 3,2" screen... come on did you REALLY think ANYBODY would buy this),

- crippling retail markets (the 701 isn't available in most parts o/t world and if it is you can only find the silver version) and/or

- deliberately price the device out of the market (N9 and 808 Pureview)

Who the f**k runs that company! Monkeys?

Especially since you can't connect wp to a computer with mass storage mode. So how to get data easily off it!?

Mr. Elop ruined the best phone company! I'll keep my n900 until something better comes along but nothing is on the horizon.

Gun Sword fan?

"Mr. Elop ruined the best phone company! I'll keep my n900 until something better comes along but nothing is on the horizon."

There is. Just not from Nokia.
Have you looked at the proposed Samsung Ativ S (if WP8 is your thing)?

It's cheaper, looks IMHO much better (I would LOVE to see an android phone in that casing) AND has a MicroSD-slot.

I'm personally more hung on to the LG Optimus G (international verion). If it can record phone calls like the 4XHD can then it's a no brainer for me.

Yeah right, for YOU!
Ain't anough for my FLAC Discography.

Yeah right, as if nobody would notice me when I'm jerking off at the bus while going to work!

I guess SleepingOz music library is a much better idea :-)

It is a sin. Even feature phones have micro sd.

"It is a sin. Even feature phones have micro sd."

Actually the Sony-Ericsson models were M2 aka Memory Stick Micro (or Memory Stick PRO Duo for the K750i) :-)

13. wendygarett posted on 06 Sep 2012, 10:03 4

everythings has pros and cons...
most people nowadays store their data on pc and laptop instead of microSD. Because whether you have it or not, once it stolen, it stolen together with the device...
If you think iCloud is not safe, try something else... I put all my photo on instagram tho :)

21. itiswhatitis posted on 06 Sep 2012, 10:24 5

i can't believe what i'm saying just a while ago you were crying for out loud cuz 920 doesnt have micro sd slot and now you're all fine???? MOOD SWINGS????

My dear wendygarett
You seem to forget that you CANNOT connect a WP7/8 device in mass storage mode to your computer.

Which means (similar like iDevices) you're required to use the obligatory Zune software which either converts audio to WMA or just can't cope with it!

And even IF you could enable Mass Storage mode through hacks THEN the default audio player STILL can't play FLAC.

Unfortunatly these FLAC-(audio) enthousiasts have a distinctive dislike for the inferior WMA format hence their preference to FLAC. Which makes ALL new Nokia's (and iPhones/iPods as well for that matter) redundant for audiophiles.

37. -box- posted on 06 Sep 2012, 10:38 3

The 820 has it. I agree it's a bit odd to not have it (especially after the negative reactions to the OneX not having one) since WP8 has the capability... or offer multiple hard drive sizes like Samsung does...

If WP8 had USB On The Go like Symbian/Nokia Belle does, that would be a worthwhile alternative as well..

If 64gb version is cheaper than the 16gb version of iphone

then it is a worth buying!!!

45. -box- posted on 06 Sep 2012, 10:53 3

Any version would be worth buying over any iphone ;)

@Mobile-X-Pert, it's ok but there are people who do not like the iphone because of the lack of Mermory card...

There are 2 kind of people, those who need the memory card and those who don't need it, if you decide no to add a memory card on a phone, you can make sure some people will complain.

It's just a matter of preference.

23. itiswhatitis posted on 06 Sep 2012, 10:27 2

Do you keep all your videos on your phone? Dont have a computer at home,desktop or laptop,no???For chrisake stop complaning and start living!!!

I've made a choice, I'm going to buy the Note 2 and give my Note 1 to my wife.
When I will decide to buy a Windows phone, I will not choose this one.
They have decided not to put a memory card, I've decided that I will never buy it. That's it.
