I assume he's wanting to change the microSD card - not exactly an unusual use case. And needing to power off to do so does seem rather awkward.

No hotswap of microsd, then Posted Sep 7, 2007 11:12 UTC (Fri) by Cato (subscriber, #7643) [Link] The other thing to consider is that SD and MicroSD cards in some phones can easily pop out and be lost (hello, Treo 600...) - so I really like a design where the SD card is behind the battery. This also means that applications can treat this as an "internal disk" for data, media and software storage.
It would be good to have a second MicroSD slot that is externally accessible, although with a cover to help avoid card loss.

Best of both worlds: it's hard to lose the microsd card man these things are small -- and easy to hot-swap without turning off the phone.
Yeah, an external microsd slot with no cover just sounds like trouble.
