That makes no sense whatsoever. Maybe the problem is that there is a whole generation of buyers like me who bought phones with a slot that they could choose to optionally fill with whatever capacity memory card they desired. Now, with WP7, instead of me deciding that I want to carry around 16 MB of my own pictures, music, videos, whatever, Microsoft is going to decide that I only need to carry 8 MB. Oh and forget about when 32 MB or 64 MB cards hit the market and I want to migrate to a card with greater storage. I can't migrate without a hard reset of my phone. WTF???

Of course this all makes sense when you realize that Microsoft wants to put only a token sized memory card in every phone so that you'll have no choice but to place all of your personal data in "the cloud" where they can have access to a new revenue stream from the monthly payments you'll be forking over for storage you used to have on your own phone!
