What he/she ment (I guess) is that the manufacturer (in this case Google and LG) should have made it with larger amount of space inside the phone and leave it with the same politic of NOT having the option to expend memory with extra memory card nor (as it seams) external flash memory or hard drive. In the other words: that politic means CLOUD emigration and thats Google's future vision of its ecosystem.

ahhh, I see, nnaa meant that they should make one with 64GB storage...yeah, I prefer microSD - cloud storage is fine - I use a different one for each one device I own....otherwise, it can get confusing.

Yeah.
It would be much easier that way.
I'm guessing LG wants to keep a "sleek" design, so an SD card slot wouldn't satisfy that condition.

As bad as it sounds, the average consumer probably cares more about how the device looks than the feature set. In order for it to look nice, a removable back and other "moveable" parts have to be removed.

*He*
See the word "Nathan" in my user name?
It is interesting to see who catches on and who doesn't.

And yes, that's what I ment, actual storage. I think using the cloud is silly. I would never type a Word document on my phone, all the formatting would be lost.
But that's just me.

Some people like to have more physical control over their content.

Agree with u bro..here in my country 3g connection is so darn slow..and 4g connection is so expensive..so cloud is not really applicable for some countries with slow data connection...so much better to just expand the phone mem itself or add an sd slot rather than cloud storage...i woukd be happy to pay 100 more for an expanded mem..

I guess so.
I only own one phone at a time, so and SD slot wouldn't be that useful.

Because Google is trying to push cloud storage hard.

No reason why the NEXUS 4 does not have USB OTG support like the NEXUS 7.

You think fanboy is funny, but we are happy to be fanboy :)

Oh well, different personality tho lol

No one really chooses to be a fanboy, it's more like something people do because they don't know any better. Ignorance is bliss.

Well, considering the 16GB Nexus 4 costs $349.00 no strings attached and the unlocked 16GB iPhone costs $649.00 (almost twice as much), I'd guess there's not much complaining to be made, for the few compromises...

no uproar as APPLE patented it...lol...jk....just like the iphones, I will avoid this phone, although for 299/349 it is a great deal to get this phone for no contract. I have a Droid Razr and still hate the fact that the battery does not come out, but it has a microSD slot, and that is more important to me.
