They do not need to make multiple versions. Adding SD would not have taken anything away from the people who did not need it. Everyone would have been satisfied.
You are in love with the term "phone nerd". I explicitly stated that one needs not be a phone nerd to know the basic concept of storage. So I can only assume that you keep putting that charge up because you know your argument is weak. That people make decisions to buy with different storage options available (and not just for phones - phones aren't the first thing we have ever had with storage capacity in a small device) is in and of itself evidence that the average buyer knows how much storage they're getting. Not *everyone,* but the average buyer.
Yes, accuse your opponents of being Nazis. Excellent debate tactic.
Your constant whining, moaning, feet-stomping and accusing someone supporting the decision Google made of being a Nazi.
I think we already agree on WHY they removed it...because Google wants you to use the cloud. If they make local storage uncomfortable enough, you will use the cloud. Google has lots of cloud services, so they have an incentive. I think most of us agree that they are not removing SD for cost reasons, but to support a "use teh cloud n00b" agenda.
It's an accurate description IMO. And I include myself in that category. But most people are not phone nerds.
You are free to disagree with me if you want to. My own experiences are not consistent with that view.
You completely missed the point of that comment. LOL
Then you have not been paying attention.
If you say so. I am ok with other people having different opinions though. I am not charging into threads calling people names for disagreeing with me.
No, I did not. You did. Using Nazi references in any context not fully warranting it is wrong, morally reprehensible, hurtful and disrespectful to the memory of 6 million people who perished. It needs to be called out.
The term doesn't apply with respect to Google's decision at all because Google isn't forcing anyone to buy the Nexus 4, even if they want Android. You misjudge what it means to be open and flexible. Because it is open and flexible, you have the choice of other phones. Google isn't even mandating SD support out of Android. Google is making a phone without it. That someone else isn't offering you exactly what you want (vanilla Android with a SD slot for $350) is not Google's problem, nor evidence of its authoritarianism. If I make something, and you want an option on it and I don't provide you with that option, you have the option not to buy what I made. That's not me being an authoritarian.
Maybe he should have bought one of those. The iPhone 5 comes in 32GB and 64GB models for those who say 16 gigs is just way too small and they don't want to put stuff on the cloud.
You should report me for it then.

I disagree. But I was not really calling Google themselves authoritarian. I was saying that you prefer the authoritarian methods implied by the "my way or the highway" approach to features.
The same could be said for all the people that have spent 18 pages criticizing people for not liking an aspect of the Nexus 4.
I disagree that it is incredibly unlikely. If Google really disliked SD so much, I doubt they would be supporting a vanilla S4. Google is support the S4 directly with updates.
I did.
I speak English.
Lol if you aren't calling Google authoritarian, then you can't call my support of it supporting authoritarianism. I may not be the one here that needs a dictionary. Besides, I and several others explained to you why this isn't "my way or the highway." It's "my way or take one of the 100 other ways." You just don't like any of those other ways either. You put yourself on the highway, and blame others for it.
Or maybe you overestimate the magnitude, just because the intensity of your own criticism is so high.
