Windows Phone 7 is a great OS and already we've seen many phones that are using it. Although Windows 7 Phone works great, it is now realised that there are now some issues relating to swapping of SD cards.

If you want to change SD card on your Windows 7 Phone you might experience some issues with it. If you decide to switch your SD card, you'll have to perform a hard reset in order for you to use it. According to Microsoft, Windows Phone 7 is using high performance SD cards that work differently than other SD cards. When your phone is built, internal storage space and SD card space are combined into a single storage unit and Windows Phone 7 recognises them that way.

Microsoft warns that you shouldn't remove your SD card, because it may lead to loss of data. In addition, SD card from Windows Phone 7 cannot be used on other phones.

This is not a major issue because Windows Phone 7 comes with 8GB or 16GB of internal memory, but it still feels somewhat limiting and not so user friendly, afterall isn't this the whole point of having support for external memories?
