I have an 8GB lucid & added a 16 GB sd card but as of yet no apps have taken advantage of the storage.
So. Besides manually moving media to the sd card using a USB cable & computer; what is the point of adding extra storage?
For my media and documents, like photos, music and videos, that's what I do. Myself, I got 25GB of MP3s on a 32GB SD, plus all my documents, photos and videos. My phone's internal memory is 8GB, which obviously wouldn't be enough for what I want to store. Some apps will use an SD if available, e.g. off-line GPS navigation apps, because they store the mapping data locally. There's a couple of GB of China on my SD... LOL.
Might as well skip the sd card & buy an Android device with 32 GB of internal memory. Which defeats the whole argument against the iPhones lack of a sd card slot.
You can buy Androids with larger capacity internal storage, but there's usually quite a price premium over buying the same capacity in an SD card. A 32 or 64GB iPhone is well over the equivalent of $1,000 USD here.
Other thing is when you're taking pictures or videos, which maybe once in a lifetime and irreplaceable, storing them on an SD rather than internal memory.
If the phone were to suffer a mishap and become inoperable and/or dead. At least pictures and videos on an SD should still be readable, if they're on internal memory and the phone is dead, you've lost them. The other option would be to upload them from internal memory to the internet(like Dropbox) as you're taking them, that would avoid any risk of loss as well. Apps on internal memory can be replaced, photos, videos and documents cannot. I tend to think of an SD like an aeroplane's black box flight recorders, the plane is totally trashed in some horrible accident, the recorders are usually still readable.
