I apologize to the op for allowing myself to get into another argument with a real hater..it's extremely difficult not to..and I know full well that is exactly why he posts such pure bs every chance he can
It's a real shame that the moderators allow such nonsense to take place..
Yes i am such a hater. I am having a debate and I am not even really Bashing the phone. Even though beforehand I was criticizing the M8 not trolling, I could understand why you and your other friend were getting so bothered. You like your phone.
We're talking about SD cards now and you're getting upset because I said, From my experience, an SD card is irrelevant to me and most average joes i come across
Me thinks you should chill out a bit. At the end of the day, We're Windows Phone Fans. I love Lumia and SUpport Lumia/Nokia becuase they earned it. You obviously are liking your M8.
Stop taking EVERYTHING I say as an attack. I'm Critical, I am not trolling
If HTC can help the platform then good. I suppose it can also indirectly help Lumia. Do I think we need HTC? Nope. We didn't need them the last 2 years and I don't like these Android Rehash crap we're getting.
But at the end of the day, we're both WP users so if you can't stop getting so sensitive that someone criticizes your device, then perhaps you need to refocus your priorities on why you are getting so bent out of shape of a random 19 year old. I like Friendly Debates...But honestly this is getting kind of sad now. People prefer you to be segregated to your sections if you criticize a device.....or people feel the need to call you wrong for wanting a more uniformed approach with Windows Phone(I do not care for multiple OEMs releasing devices because look at the mess Android is) you're selfish and not considerate.
It's really sad and amusing at the same time.
In regards to SD cards, even though the cloud is more important than ever, more manufacturers are going back to SD cards. Both LG and HTC added SD cards to their flagships in 2014 that didn't have them in 2013. Out of the main flagship phones released in the US this year only the iPhone won't have an SD card slot. I haven't kept up with the Moto X successor so I don't know what it's rumored to have.
Yeah they are, that is true. But I said that because people are making it sound like if a phone does NOT have an SD card it is a fail. Which is the overall point i was trying to make. Unfortunately, intelligent discussions can not be had with people to discuss the merit/features without falling into personal attacks and being labeled as a"Haters" or "jealous"
Case in point, I brought my Grandpa a lumia 635. He loves the device. He had been using an OLD HTC Amaze(that was one of HTC's best camera phones for Android) that my dad gave him. He knows apps and smartphones pretty well.
He did mention his SD card and I said "Papa, all you need to do is backup the photos to one drive and your PC. That way when you are not home, you can easily transfer files to and from your computer."
He said "Really? I can do that."
I nodded.
He said that is pretty cool. He was under the impression he NEEDED the SD card and to carry EVERY little thing around with him all the time.
I think SD cards serve a purpose...GOing on long trips and needing to watch movies(though to be real that is what my Surface is for). Moving apps to your SD card but then again, if most people are like me, I have plenty of apps/games I never play or haven't played in like a year taking up space.
I don't think a lack of a SD card is a deal breaker PROVIDED the Internal Storage is sufficient enough. Nor do I think it is something MOST users actually care about especially since nowadays they no longer actually give you an SD card. Beforehand on some phones, they had one already installed. Nowadays people have to go out and buy it and we know how cheap people can be lol.
It's like people who say a phone lacking a Removable battery is a fail. No Average Joe cares about being able to swap out their battery. I laugh at people who go on and on about that because features like that(and the SD card) are not stuff average joes care about. My mother is a prime example...She doesnt care about a Removable battery. She brought one of those portable charger things.
