Considering I'm accustomed to having an card on my phone storing all of the pictures I like having access to, versus now, having to go searching the cloud to find specific personal pictures and having my pictures SORTED BY SPECIFIC CATEGORY, i.e., me, family, friends, various holidays,, birthdays, etc..All I can say is Motorola's decision with this model phone to remove the SD memory card slot is the absolute STUPIDEST thing Motorola had done with any phone they've produced over the last 20 yrs!
