  1. 3G / no microSD by bill_mcgonigle · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I just happen to be researching my next device in another tab - I use a Verizon MVNO - the Galaxy S4 looks like the contender if I can find an unlocked CDMA version of it. I've already accepted the need for a bluetooth mini keyboard and an external battery pack to replace my Droid 3.

    Then this came up so I followed links to links to specs. "Ah, I could support CyanogenMod. I don't really need 4G for anything. I'm always in it for the underdog".

    But, "oh, no microSD slot."

    If anybody has links for how to use an unlocked S4 on Verizon prepaid, much appreciated.

  3. File systems commonly used on SD are patented by tepples · · Score: 3, Informative

    But, "oh, no microSD slot."

    Microsoft makes $2 billion per year from patent royalties on Android devices and is assumed to spend the money on keeping its Windows Phone division afloat. Makers of devices without a microSD slot don't have to pay VFAT or exFAT royalties to Microsoft.

  4. Re:Play store? by Crudely_Indecent · · Score: 3, Informative

    I have a very recent (days old) CM 10.2 nightly on my phone and it not only works great - but I have root, play store and other google apps, I save to the SD card regularly.

    From my experience - everything you've said here is false.

    Articles here about Linux don't say what the hell Linux is either. Articles here about Windows don't say what the hell Windows is either. If you don't know what CyanogenMod is, then you're woefully ignorant for a Slashdotter. Maybe you could try Google.
