Looking at the Anandtech review, I saw them mention that the Optimus has a Micro SD slot, in addition to the 16GB on board.
Is this correct?
No ti doesn't. It is a rule from Microsoft that all new Windows Phone 7 MUST have a built in memory.

Yes, but a SD card is a built in memory! All HTC WinPhone 7 devices have "just" SD cards as additional internal memory, it's cheaper thand NANDs!
On engadget.com or pocketnow.com you can watch some videos about this. One user plugged a 32gb sd card in his HD7!!!
But I don't know if the Optimus 7 has a sd card or a NAND...

As the other guy said, false, look at the focus!
Seeing as the focus isn't being released outside the USA, the optimus is the best bet.
Anyway, the device is out, somebody must be able to confirm.
Actually the Focus is now available on Rogers in Canada as well...
And Samsung is quite generous when you describe your needs to them on their Direct phone line, and they provided me with an unlock code...
Has anyone discovered if LG Optimus 7 have a microsd slot?
Im sure it does however its not accessable without dismantiling the phone.
I wish someone would tear this badboy down and let us have a look inside.
Yeah me too! Most other devices have been ripped apart but i haven't heard anything about the Optimus 7
Yeah, this would be pretty important to me too, since its the only device with internal memory + microSD. If its easy to access this would be a very interesting phone since I need at least my 32GB of storage, better would be more.

Oh come on buddy, nearly every WP7 device has a SD slot, of course not swapable, but it is in there.
The Optimus 7 has 4GB NAND and 4GB SDRAM, therefore 8GB left over for a SDcard somewhere in there, but: where?

Where did you hear it had 4GB NAND and 8GB in the SDcard slot? I believe you, I'm just curious. I am pretty sure all WP7 "have" to have an SDcard slot because the SD Card Association said WP7s support SD cards across the board (just not necessarily consumer accessible). Like I said, someone needs to tear this guy down.
I read it here:

Is that correct? Don't know.
But there's surely NAND in there, that's why it loads heavy duty apps way faster than other phones.
I'm buying this phone tomorrow, and will take it apart/provide pictures if there is enough interest. Let me know what you guys think!

GREAT! I have 200% interest on this!
I would say you get famous within the various blogs and mobile sites
Absolutely interested here!
Sorry to disappoint guys, I do not possess screwdrivers small enough to open this thing up. I have a set of electronics screwdrivers going all the way down to Phillips Head PH000 but it would need to be at least a PH0000 to open those small little screws. Love the device though! I will pick up a proper screwdriver, but I don't even know where to go about looking for one in Canada.
Oh, what a pity. But shouldn't every DIY store have those?
I have bad news...I took the phone apart completely, all the way down to its component elements and there is no SD slot or card. The 16 GB is NAND and soldered to the board. I will post pictures I took in a different thread for teardown purposes.
Curious to know whether our phones, or any other similar phones, will support this new type of SD card? I've heard of it being tested in SGS2 and others, and it working, but what I'm curious about is whether we will actually be able to utilize the full storage capacity of the new cards?
I'll probably be looking to pick one up when it approached the £50-80 price range.
Before people start saying "why do you need that much space?" My response will be music and videos and when a 128GB card comes out, I'll be getting that too
Thank you in advance for any info, and hopefully this will help others too who are unsure how our phones will handle this card.
Hi,
in general it is working.

Thanks for the reply. Have already seen that link though and saw the comment about it being only able to access 32GB. This is what confused me in the first place because I assumed if it worked, then it would work to fully storage capacity.
I'm also thinking about getting a 64gb sdxc card (also got a lot of music, videos and apps).
So if you're gonna get on of those cards please report if they work properly.
Thanks in advance.
I believe the capability to access 64gb is based off firmware or something. If you can upgrade the firmware that is related to the card reader on the phone, it would probably do the trick, otherwise it probably wont work.
Will probably wait until this is confirmed to work properly on our phones. The price will drop over the next year or two so don't really want to splash out 100 quid on something which I may not able to be use properly until I get my next phone. Will post here if I hear any news in the future though.
hey guys and girls, I know its an old thread, but still can't find proof the 64GB sdxc card works... somebody already tried it?
The G2/DZ supports SDHC (max of 32GB), it will not support SDXC (least not officially, use at your own risk).
Guys, newest sandisk 64gb microSDXC will fit Defy?
http://www.sandisk.com/products/mobile1-memory-products/sandisk-ultra-microsdxc-card
It will fit in nicely becuse it is the same size as the microSDHC.
It doesnt work out of box ;you have to format it in the phone..then you' ll get 59 GB of free space.
No, i dont have it but i have read about it and it works in htc,samsung..
According to specs, memory is upgrade-able only to 32gb.
Will a 64gb card work?
I think you should take the risk and test it yourself
So does it work? That´s a very nice sd card
the defy supports 32gb sd official. 64 gb not supported. I think for any phone 16gb is stable for space and speed. how do they fill up 32gb?!

There are also reports that they are working on many older devices for those wondering. Some include the EVO 4G, original Galaxy S, and even the HTC Desire Z (aka T-Mobile G2). With both old and new, smartphones and tablets being able to take advantage of the 64GB SD cards this is a good sign many more will have the same fate. We can only assume manufacturers didn’t state SDXC support because none were out on the market at time of launch, or maybe there are other reasons yet unknown.
At first insert the device may say corrupt or error, just reformat your 64GB card inside the Android phone or tablet and you’re good to go. While many are currently working, this doesn’t mean they have full support. The chance of the cards failing, getting errors, and possibly losing all your stored data is still a possibility so use at your own risk for now. Hopefully we see more 64GB SDXC cards soon and at lower prices because $219 is a bit steep for me. — Thanks Murray!

SDXC cards use exfat file system. If defy doesnt support that then it probably wont work.
Ive seen reports of it being working on a lot of phones, so there's a chance it might work on defy, but the card needs to be formatted on pc first before using on phone and it wont work at full speed due to limitation on the old sdhc reader (sdxc reader is faster)
I'm asking to avoid risks ).
Why 64gb? Cause i have 32gb card and it have about 4gb left. Actually last few month i've forced to clean up card from time to time. Audiobooks, DVR, Navigation software, record lections on dictaphone... That stuff takes space but i've used not to worry about `if do i have avaliable space left` ). Also this card declares class 6, now i own Sandisk/32gb class 2, so it not just larger, it laso should be faster. Sometimes DVR+Navigation provides some lags, for example.
maybe the max is 32GB,class 10
you can buy but i thin you will see only 32gb space...
can defy uses class 10 sd card? i heard there is problem in taking picture with class 10 card...
read posts on XDA, yes it has a problem with 6 and 10 class
CM7 and miui can run fine class 10 cards now.

SDXC on Defy?
It really works on Defy. I own one for a month now. Cost 80€/106$. Absolutely no problems after format. 59GB free. About 6MB/s write, 16MB/s read speed. Have fun.
Greater than 32Gb?
Biggest I've used is a 32Gb class 10. No problems at all.
Android police posted a review. Looks good.

This is funny yet strange. Why you think an article on a website has more truth than a forum post of a member? Both are written by a single person. Both can be faked or real.
The guy on the website used a newer Tegra device so his article is irrelevant for Defy users. The SDXC in my Defy works flawlessly for weeks now with 20GB free space left.
Of course you can ignore this. I don't care. But if you need space buy the SDXC and have fun.

I wasn't doubting your experience with the card, I was just posting another source of info about it complete with benchmarks etc.
Glad you like the card.

i love this tab only prob is idk what SD card should i buy: i wtb this number 1 on this list but its says its for 4k and full hd devices
DERP I CANT POST LINKS! well i Google this "best micro sd 2015 ephotozine" first option
plz help me chosse the best SD card for this device considering the Hardware
PS: it will be great if we help people to understand what sd card goes for his tablet/smarthphone so we will stop buy expensive (that wont get along whit hardware) or cheaper (that will slowdown our baby/device)

any class 10 will be good enough, the only difference is in the speed of the cards
