I've been career HTC guy, and have never had a phone with expandable memory slot. I'm getting ready to switch back to Verizon, and am looking at phones in there lineup. I currently have the ONE but the battery has made me look elsewhere.
Here is my question. As stupid as it may be, I apologize, I've just never had to deal with this.
If I buy the 16gb variant and buy a 16gb card, will my phone perform as well as a 32gb phone would to begin with? Are there specific things I cannot put on SD card?
I know, basic crap, but I haven't had ANY experience with this. Thanks

Not really because half of the phone's storage space is taken up by the OS and pre-installed apps.

32gb is the way to go IMO. I waited it out and now have 32gb on board + 64gb card for music, pictures, backups and the like. It really all depends on how you use your phone, but I wish for higher capacity cards myself.

I don't think everyone uses external SD card and the nexus will come Gingerbread and get the fastest updates from the big G.
You want the nexus because it's new and just a hair better. It's the same reason everyone here wanted the g2 then mytouch 4g. It's "new" and "better". The vibrant has great hardware, nearly identical to the nexus, so you'd only be trading up for software and a slight facelift. Not worth it.
It's the new factor. You (and everyone else) will get over it in a month and be on to wanting whatever other new phone is out.

You're partially correct. But the primary reason that people are interested in the Nexus S is that its a "Nexus" branded; therefore, it will always have the latest version of Android in a timely fashion because it is maintained by Google.
I was considering buying one outright myself but the vibrant is so similar devs may be able to port everything to the vibrant within a couple days or weeks. Plus next year there will likely be dual core phones that come out that are going to be more attractive. I do admit having direct Google support would be great, but I'm going to wait and see what the devs do after it comes out. It's not like the phone is going to disappear from existence a month from now.

A facelift gone wrong IMO.
The lack of the SD card is bad with only 16g onboard. I came from a 32gb Iphone to the vibrant and quickly went out and bought a 16gb sd card to make up for the missing storage.
I doubt you will be able to.
First off, the Nexus S is only available at Best Buy or from Google.
I went to T-mobile last week and they told me that only Best Buy will have the phone in their stores.
I have a guy waiting to buy my Vibrant off me if I want to sell it... but the loss of SD card storage space, and the extra $230 I would have to pay has me balking.
I doubt I will get one.

In the owner's manual, it says "supports up to 32gb" card. Wonder how that works if you use a bigger one.

As do I. Curious: Anything higher than a 64 out there?
So after reading the experiences in this thread, I dug out an old 64 Sandisk I used in another phone, and popped it in the Note. While I was able to view 2 photos on the disk, and could select the "unmount sd card" option, the "format" option was greyed out. I was wanting to format and start fresh. Any ideas?
Maybe try formatting to a different format using a pc.. Then pop the card into the phone and format to fat32 with the phone.

Why not just buy a 32g memory card? Then you have a 48 gig..

I think they are counting on you keeping your data in a cloud, like their new "S Cloud" instead of on the phone.

I'm fairly certain Samsung will not be offering different internal memory Note II variants in the states. So 16GB is your only option unless you pony up some money and buy a microSD card. And considering how cheap you can get one if you do proper research, I'd rather do that than pay for an overpriced model with expanded internal memory. My Note has 80GB of memory with 15GB internal and 64GB external using a microSD card. No complaints.
Been looking forward to seeing the reviews on the Verizon version of this phone. No more early adapter/tester for me.
Glad I waited before pre-ordering the 16gb version.
There is no app to SD with this phone! ALL apps reside in internal memory. Which works out to about 11gb available on this 16gb release.
I'm pretty sure it's a Jellybean thing.
Gonna' wait on the 32gb or 64gb models. Screw all this "Cloud" bs.
I'll make due with what I have for now...
Pretty sure there is no 32/64 gig option coming for the States...

This. Already ordered a Sandisk Ultra 32GB card. I should be fine. Also unless you plan on getting a bunch of big games, you should be fine with 11GB anyways.
OK so i have been trying to do some research to find out if the "SPRINT" Version of the "HTC ONE" is going to be like all the rest of the carriers,,and i can't seem to really find anything,,For instance when the the "HTC EVO 4 G LTE" correct me if im wrong but i believe ,, the "one x" and the "one s" didn't come with external SD slots,,while the sprint version the EVO came with a SD slot,,and kickstand and camera shutter button,,,,,PLEASE!!! Tell me the sprint version is still gonna stand out from other carriers making "SPRINTS" version of the "ONE" superior.....PLEASE....lol........I'M a BIG fan of HTC since the "HERO" "EVO 4G" "3D" "EVO LTE" and have been lucky to have sprint have my Phone better then other carriers,, I'M afraid to say that if sprint jumps on the "SAMSUNG" band wagon with having just " 1" phone for all carriers the same,,I might jump to the SAMSUNG "JUST" for the fact of not having a external SD..
The external SD plays a huge roll with me,,for instance.....Some "
ROMS that i'v notice will not read external memory will synced to my pc ,where i have all my "ROMS" APK,,AND BACKUPS making me pull my sd and putting it in a sd card reader in order to do what i need to do ,,,ect......And also i dont think i would like the fact that my pictures are being saved "INTERNAL" what happens if my phone drops in the WATER or just get dropped and cracks or i get mad and throw it while on a drunken tour,,,my "PHOTOS are history,,,,,THAT WOULD SUCK!!!!!!!
IS THE "HTC ONE" with no SD card a DEAL BREAKER FOR YOU????
It might be. Depends on the alternative (gs4). If gs4 lives up to the hype then yes it's a deal breaker, if not the one is in the game. My upgrade is next month, if my wife let's me have hers

I really don't see this new HTC One as much of an upgrade. I haven't really looked at the specs, but I'm guessing that it's running the same specs as the EVO LTE, which means it'll probably have the same bugs. All you're really gaining is some nice front facing speakers and a slim package. Now there's no expandable SD slot, you're limited to 32GB and risk losing precious memories if the phone dies?!?! Ummmm... no thanks.

For me it is a deal breaker. I have about 28gb of music on my evo now. All my music was ripped at 320kb or FLAC and I am not changing that. I will run out of space without an sd slot. I don't want to go with a seperate mp3 player and phone just to store all my music. I will wait and see what the 64gb version cost if it ever comes to sprint.
I think it was a bad move to give exclusivity to ATT for the 64gb version, I think some people on other carriers will not switch because they are waiting for the 64gb version.

IM not to sure if the Chinese device dose,,,,,One thing that im wondering to is, SPRINT has not officially said that the "EVO" line is no more,,,,seems like they would of announced something to that nature,,,,,
there is no SD card on any of the models for the HTC one. anything and everything you see that may so happen to look like a slot is for the micro-sim card slot. which they are essentially making like the iphone style with a small slide out holder and you put the sim inside the tray and slide it in.
in regards to the sprint say that the evo line is still alive. i highly doubt that to be true since all the evo line phones were HTC phones. and HTC is moving to a unified platform starting with the ONE. so unless they switch the EVO line to a different brand of phone its pretty much dead.
they tried to save the EVO brand by rebranding the HTC one X as the EVO 4g LTE and look what happened there. so for all intensive purposes i consider the EVO line dead. but that doesnt mean a bad thing, i think its actually a good thing since they will now look to a unified platform for CDMA / GSM variants of phones. which means short of the baseband and GSM requirement software, all the roms should be cross carrier! just my 2 cents not sure if its accurate just hypothetical

What happened there? This phone has gotten pretty good support, better in some cases than One X itself. What exactly do you mean by "look what happened there"?
More of the decision to fragment the phone across carriers. we ended up having 3 different phones when one would have been better ( as they are doing now with the one ). I mean with one phone its easier to update and easier to maintain, fix and develop.
It would have been a better outcome I thinkip if they left the one x name and dropped their evo line naming all together

Please tell me you're trolling... You have to be trolling right now. Have you even read the specs for the device, or did you just pick it up and play with it for a few seconds and think it performed the same?
The EVO 4G LTE was a powerhouse, and the HTC One has a HUGE spec increase over it. Just because there isn't a MicroSD card slot, doesn't mean you can't use the phone. I swear, the phone's been out for like 3 days now and EVERYBODY has become an expert in mobile technology overnight to downplay the phone because it doesn't have an SD card slot. Deal with it. Store your music in the cloud. The phone was announced nearly 2 months ago, so if you're just now finding this out, you really should be paying more attention.
