My apologies. I think of my comtemporary peers' mocking of my phone when I hear others make the argument and forget that circumstances may vary. I can see why swappable storage would be valuable, especially in places where an Android phone may be a more primary computing device.

I know it's still a compromise, but that all having been said, the Galaxy Nexus can be a USB host device so you could use a reader or a jump drive or other USB devices (mice/keyboards/etc)
