How much more than 32GB do you really need on a phone?Originally posted by MicrosoftBob View PostI wish they'd get round to have a memory card slot on them, otherwise they are excellent
They won't put an SD card in a Google device because Google want you to do everything in the cloud. Works fine if you are in a country where there are lots of free wifi spots (if you want / need that), but not so much here.

Could I maybe buy the phone with my personal account and put it as an expense?
