These are fair points, especially if you have a limited plan, but either way, I agree that local storage is best. It only aggravates me further that a buddy in the business told me that memory is the biggest low-cost profit builder that OEMs sell us at an absurd mark-up. So charging $50 for 8GB is highway robbery when a micro SD card would cost a fraction of that.

That said, even $350 for the 16GB is a compelling deal to me.
