Upgradeable Memory COMFIRMED

---

I'm sure you all have read this, but if not, here you go: http://wpcentral.com/htc-surround-s-...e-not-easy-get

The HTC Surround appears to have a microSD slot, but it's covered by a piece of metal as seen in the picture below:



I'm personally not too concerned since 16GB seems like more than enough, but I'm sure people will be asking if it can be upgraded or not. We really won't know till someone tears into it which is more likely since it was released today.

*UPDATE*
I just came across this: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4015/h...cket-boombox/8

It doesn't seem that difficult to get to actually, just a bit of disassembly required. It apparently comes with a SanDisk Class 4 16GB microSD card.

AT&T kills another great device! They also did it to the Tilt2 when they removed the 3.5 mm jack from that device. Somebody needs to fire an executive in that company.

T-Mobile did the same thing with the HTC HD7 but someone managed to swap cards and the HD7 worked with a 32GB microSD.

Actually, It's not AT&T's fault. It's just that WP7 doesn't support swapping out memory yet, like say an Android phone.

Bought my surround today. ATT said there would be a patch comming out and not to insert a sd card yet....

Yeah, we know you can't swap memory yet but the devices in Europe allows you to upgrade memory capacity before the 1st boot. AT&T choose to remove that option on the Surround not the Focus. AT&T's fault...

Just picked up my phone. Very solid device.

I got my surround yesterday, and so far, I am pleased.

Has anyone actually looked under that piece yet? A teardown of the Mozart revealed a similar metal piece that was not hiding a microSD card.

Good find. I'm still waiting for mine, so someone else will have to dig into it.

Anybody care to break down their Surround?
