SD card upgrades brick Windows Phone 7 handsets
Simon:
Microsoft Phone 7 users have been warned not to upgrade handset memory or use the phone’s SD card in other devices, after it emerged that the handsets alter the memory card’s format.
According to Microsoft, removing the original SD cards can cause data loss and stop the handset from working properly, limiting upgrade options that might have been a key purchasing motivation for media hoarders.
“You should not remove the SD card in your phone or add a new one because your Windows Phone 7 device might not work properly,” Microsoft said on its support site.

Ironically, if they'd made it non-removable, like the iPhone, there wouldn't have been an issue. Why make it removable if it f***s the phone when you take it out, and it can't be used anywhere else anyway?
:dunno:
