And the Gnex doesn't have a MicroSD slot.

That seems to be becoming the trend.


Galaxy S3 has MicroSD and removable battery. So does Sprints Evo 4g LTE coming up. If Samsung can make a phone with removable battery and MicroSD, then HTC should be able to (One series, I'm looking at you) as should Moto (Razr).

MicroSD doesn't matter much now.

Google has free storage of 20,000 songs, unlimited pictures/videos (google+), and free 5GB on Drive. Plus tons of other free storage on other 3rd party products.

16GB that's base on most phones is more than enough.

Those 20,000 songs are also streamed at a lower bitrate and use data which counts againsts peoples caps (I have unlimited). Google+ is pretty dumb and is a LOT slower than QuickPic, and 5GB isn't anything compared to the 64GB MicroSD cards they have now. Those 3rd party are not reliable, Cloud companies close, if you read tech sites often you can see some close down every once in a while, normally with short notice to get your stuff out of there. I want copies of everything I own on MY harddrives. Thus why I refuse to use OnLive for games.

 

I'm not against cloud storage at all, but right now it is not mature enough for me to rely on. And for my next phone which I'll have for 2 years I want a MicroSD slot, that's just my opinion. Then 2 years down the road I'll reevaluate after 2 years of using a mix of cloud and SD storage (as I do now).
