Nokia Seeking $1B In Bonds, Reveals Lumia 510

Window Phone OEMs never built SDslots, except for Samsung. My original Focus has microSD slot and I've run a 16gig microSD card from week one of purchasing it, two years ago. Its not that it doesn't support it, there was too much confusion about which brand worked properly, so other OEMs never made it accessible to the consumer. Although, SanDisk seemed to work best.

With that said, Samsung is still the only one that seems to be supporting it on the new WP8 devices. The only thing is, I dont know if you can store apps on the microSD. I think it will only allow media and document files. But, that's just my opinion and not based off anything I've read.

As for this phone being a contender, it was only supposed to be a way for MS and Nokia into markets that compete with extremely low end Android phones.
