Why US and UK HTC ONEs don't have SD card.

I was curious why some HTC ONEs come with an SD card slot and others do not. Apparently this is the reason:

I think it's sad that htc had to explain themselves in this case. They chose not to put an sd card in, which is the smart thing to do, and they should have just left it at that. No need d to defend themselves, just stand proud of the masterpiece they created.

No explanation needed Imo.

Doesn't bother me at all. Having an SD card slot would bother me. I've seen the reports of issues it's caused for an unspecified amount of S3's.

Thanks for posting the link, though.

Let's all discuss this again. I don't think it's been fully covered yet.

Well obviously this question was on the minds of many...both users and tech journalist. So the question was bound to be asked whether anyone thinks it needed to be or not. When you say you are making just one flagship device and then start coming out with variants, it does make people wonder.

The difference is that we have HTC directly addressing it now, instead of falling back on the "Google doesn't want SD cards" (which is also true).

Well look at that. Now we have a direct concrete answer thanks tohio, for the link.

Interesting explanation. No sarcasm intended, just interesting. Reminds me of something I read on an internet article that most of Europe laughs at our cell structure.
