“Before the lineup of phones with Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 operating system debuted, there was much speculation over whether the new offerings would support memory cards,” Shan Li blogs for The Los Angeles TImes. “When the phones hit shelves last week, it turned out that at least one model, the Samsung Focus, had memory card support (unlike Apple iPhones).”
Li reports, “But the option could inspire more nightmares than joy, given that the Samsung phone appears to fry any card not “certified for the Windows Phone 7,” according to AT&T, one of the carriers of Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7. The only problem? No such cards exist, at least so far.”

MacDailyNews Take: It would be difficult, if not impossible, for us to be less surprised.
It’s probably due to a rounding error.
From the same people who deliver the “Azure” cloud computing brand comes memory card support with permanent amnesia.
Oh now, come on!
How can you make a fried memory card out of raw sewage?
I’ll tell you how-
microwave it….
This time, it will be different…

“I like our strategy, I like it alot”.
keep clicking those heels and keeping those eyes shut tight acid.
if you guys feel like shaking your heads in disbelief, look at why Apple just pulled the 10.6.5 server updt. So much for quality control these days.
This is nothing. My MacBook Pro fries eggs.
Maybe it will make it harder to remember windows7, that would almost be merciful…
80,000 Chicago Bear fans watch Minnesota Sunday on a beautiful sunny day. But not one iPhone was working because ATT can’t get their shit straight. It not a farm in Iowa is downtown Chicago. Put a truck with an antenna you knuckle heads. ATT stinks in NY and IL and WI and IN and FL…. I like the phone but when you cant use it well its just a brick.
… well, that’s one way to drive sales of memory cards …
So, who’s running microsoft???? ohh, the sales guy.
Buuuuuurrrrnnnnnnnn!

Uh, Erich, look again. It’s B-A-C-K! (Think Microsoft will fix ITS little boo-boo as quickly?)
Hey, Ozy, didn’t we see this very same post in another thread earlier today? Man, get over it. (By the way, who are you blaming for the stadium power outage at the Giants/Cowboys game in New Jersey yesterday? Is that ATT and Apple’s fault TOO?)
Notice how the article only mentions that iPhones don’t support memory cards, but fail to mention that Apple builds in so much memory that you will never need a memory card.
Just another reason not to have memory card support, not to mention the extra space needed for the memory card slot, etc.
From what I understand, MSFT designed the memory tray as a method for manufacturers to make one phone chassis and version out different models by adding memory cards AT THE FACTORY. The memory cards were never designed to be user serviceable as it is pooled with hard installed memory and therefore can never be successfully ejected while in use.
Let’s give Microsoft the credit it deserves:
Windows Phone 7 fries memory cards at no extra charge!
In Canada, it fries memory cards and serves them with gravy and curds. Delicious. Thanks M$
That’s not a bug… but a feature!!!
🙁 No imagination So Predictable! = msft Win7

If a judge requests the autopsy of the cadaver that Microsoft said to be in the coffin when they organised the funeral, investigators will soon discover that it is not an iPhone 4…
Anyone else notice the sudden abandonment of iPhones for windoze7 phones on television. I’ve note at least 2 prominent shows where this has been the case. Seems like MS is really spreading that 50 mil around thick.

It’s just like all the movies where the good guys use Macs and the bad guys use some Dell-like generic black PC.
