So you try to rubbish it but don't say why.
The Porche example is valid, it's a capacity issue. If you want more capacity you buy a different car. If you want more capacity, buy a different handset. Simple... It's hardly a flaw.

Most people appear to be able to get what they want installed on the handset without issue. I admit there are a few who don't have enough space for everything they want, but they can look at other handsets if the capacity isn't enough for them. It's not a flaw, it's just designed for a certain capacity, same as the Porche that you incorrectly rubbished without any valid reason.

There you go then, buy an iPhone, sorted
In the same way I'll avoid buying a Porche and get a decent family sized car instead. Sorted! We're all happy today.

Even when apps install on the SD card they still use a proportion of the handsets memory too. Some use more than others. When I activated the 'force all apps to SD' function I still used space up on my phone's memory and some programs used more than others, so you will still run out of space if you cram lots of stuff in there.




All that money wasted on a flawed car

Some apps need to be loaded earlier in the boot process, other dont. Load an app onto your SD card and it may not work for that reason. As its removable media you really dont want services, widgets running on there. If you really must use a SD card invest in one of the many apps to do the brain work for you e.g. app2sd, sdmove etc.
