Thank you for your comments. I don't think there is anyone disputing that a phones internal storage is faster than an SD card. And yes like PCs Digital cameras etc everything advances even SD cards. My main point isn't about speed. It's about having a useful function built in to a device that can save you time, money and the need to carry other equipment around with you. I build pcs and have seen many advances in technology in fact it advances faster than you can keep up but pcs are different from phones as you can add and upgrade to your hearts desire without having to buy a whole new PC whereas with phones you stuck with what is in the phone. A simple slot in a phone for an SD card makes life simpler and more convenient for a lot of people and can save a lot of time and money as well I.e if you consider the extra cost of increasing the internal storage and can extend the life of a device so you can keep it longer and wait to upgrade etc. It all depends what you need a device for and how you use it. I like having the choice and control myself rather than have them dictated by manufacturers whose main aim is to get as much out of you as they can. If your happy paying more upfront that's fine but if you want the flexibility of an SD card that's fine too
