I replaced my Symbian Phone with a WP7 phone.
When I got the Nokia, I went out and bought an 8GB card for it. It peaked at about 1GB of usage - I could have stored all that on the phone's memory instead.
My WP7 phone has about 10GB free (more than half). It's not an issue. My wife has an 8GB iPhone, memory is not an issue (are you baffled that iPhones don't have removable storage?)
Data plan usage has never been an issue for the people I am around - even though I imagine it is for some people. And if I cared, the data usage available from my carrier via my phone.
The way I see it, those are listed just so that there is something that everyone can get their head around when comparing specs.
I think you got it. I imagine many people flag topics when the discussions in them reach a certain low.
As for the features I mentioned, they are, certainly, the most trivial. But it's also surprising (baffling, actually) Microsoft allowed WP7 to reach the market without them and I'd be ashamed to list such basic features as improvements. It's like saying "now makes calls". And a more constructive approach would be to point out those are the least relevant features and that the others are much more interesting (and why).
