Look at the Palm Pre, the Palm Pixi, and the iPhone. They have a set amount, and it's not expandable. They expect that when you want more storage, you're going to go out and buy a whole new phone to replace your previous one. How many people out there have more than 8GB of music? I know I do. Or movies? I certainly do. And I really don't like sitting there spending several hours looking through my music files to decide what I was going to listen to today. I have other things to do. I'd rather put my entire library on shuffle and just press next or previous to randomly go through my entire library, than have to sit down and pick through all of it.

I dunno about you, but it's a LOT cheaper to pay $100 for the next size up memory card than $300-600 for a whole new phone, and I'm always adding to my music and movie library. 8GB is not enough. That seems to be the bent for most manufacturers except for the iPhone. Try finding me another multimedia phone out there that has more than 8GB of storage that ISN'T the iPhone that doesn't rely on cheap, removable storage media. You probably won't. So your choices are either an alternative phone of your choice with a small amount of fixed storage space, or whatever size you want of removable storage, upgradeable at any time. I'm sorry, but to me choice wins out 100% every single time. I'll take the alternative phone to one with a fixed media. I'd have liked the Palm Pre if only it had had the ability to have removable media. It could have had only 1GB of onboard space and I'd still have bought it, as long as it had an expansion slot!

the min is 8gb so u dont have to worry about 4gb or less but even tho my mem card is 8 gb now its to small im gonna wait until they have a 32Gb phone unless there is a super sexy 16Gb by HTC then i mite get that also
