It's not the phone manufacturers who dictate what goes on inside the phone, but the CARRIERS.

I disagree, the Sanyo 5600 lets you save Pictures, Videos, Voice Records all to the miniSD card, you can get them all off simply by connecting the phone to your computer with the INCLUDED USB cable, or take out the card and put in a SD card reader with the INCLUDED adapter. You can also transfer images, video, or anything you want to the phone via the USB cable. Technically you don't have to upload anything you do on the phone through their pay service.
