Nokia Explains Why No MicroSD Slot for Lumia 920

Lumia 920, the future flagship Windows Phone 8 handset from Nokia, will arrive on shelves without a microSD memory card slot packed inside, leaving users with only 32GB of internal memory to take advantage of.

With the support for MicroSD memory cards newly included in Windows Phone 8, one would have wanted for Nokia’s flagship to include the feature as well. However, it appears that the handset vendor decided to go without it, in an attempt to maintain the phone’s outer design untouched.

“We started with the premise that we wanted an uncompromised physical form,” Kevin Shields, executive vice president at Nokia told PC Pro, adding that the card slot “would have defiled it.” Of course, the phone can be connected to PCs to transfer files, while also featuring 7GB of SkyDrive storage, but nothing compares to having a MicroSD card at hand, that’s for sure.
