Default [Q] Internal Memory sd card or soldered ??

Does the i9000 have a internal sd card or is the internal memory flash memory that is soldered on to the logic board ?

I would like to (if possible) to swap out the internal memory and place a sd card with more space space and faster i/o's. But I guess this would only be possible if the i9000 has a internal sd card that is accessible once the phone has been taken apart.

Thanks in advance

i9000 has both. It has 8GB of internal memory (soldered) + a microSD card slot so you can expand the internal memory.

Read the damn question again and stop sprouting unrelated things.

To answer the actual question, no. It's not actually a SD card.

The above picture is a photo of the 16 GB NAND flash in your phone that serves as the internal SD. So unfortunately you cannot change it.

The actual memory is either 8gb or 16gb, in which the 16gb is more common

I think that's just for the i9003 and not the i9000.
