lokhor: Only problem with that is if you take your MicroSD out and try to use it in a card reader Windows won't be able to use it. Linux/Mac will be able to read it. Though Windows you can download tool to read it http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/files/ It is a win some lose some. But if you want to save internal space and have plenty of external then it is an option. Just saying that is all. Sacrificing portabilty for some usability is worth it right?

lokhor: I don't disagree although I think the technical difficulty of doing it will be offputting for most Then it is not Samsung or Android concern. That is the tradeoff for buying a smaller internal memory phone. This is why people like me is waiting for the 32GB even though it takes a month after the launch date. I already know the limitation of the 16GB but some people still arguing that you don't need a 32GB because 16GB is never going to used up. But in reality is that if you want to use your phone to its fullest potentials then you have to use every little last ounce of the provided space built in. Having 32GB internal would help solving some internal apps issue. I know that Android should have fixed this but since it hasnt been fixed then why not get sufficient space to compensate the problem? :) This is why I said having internal space and external space is two different things. MicroSD card cannot fully replace the usefulness and conveniency of the internal memory. Otherwise, you have to request the developer of the application you're installing to add option for external installation for data and such. Developers have the choice of implementing the options but did not include in their application because they are lazy. So basically this is not an Android problems :) blame the developers

Too much light for the sensor to handle I guess. May be a software update will fix this

i normally use my phones naked ie: no case, but this mercuryAV case saved my phone yesterday of sorts, chucked the phone (white) in my jacket pocket, walked to work, got to work, and found that my pen had leaked blue ink all over the place, and it was all over the case, and meths had a hard time getting it off, its still ever so slightly stained, lucky indeed
