Sir, unfortunately your questions cannot be accurately answered by a mere yes or no.

Great. So, if I want stable network connections during a card swap, I have to pay for 'em? And be within a cellular reception area, even if I have a perfectly useful wifi network?
If you want to have a stable network connection you have 3 options:

1) Don't swap the card.
2) Don't use WiFi.
3) Use stateless protocols (ie. UDP) or applications which don't require continueous connection.

The device comes with a 3G chipset so the possibility a customer wants to buy and use a data plan is there. If the user doesn't have a cellular reception nearby and this problem occurs often thenarguably the customer made a mistake by buying and using a data plan. In my country, there is almost 100% 3G coverage, so in my country this problem hardly exists.

Assuming that swapping your wifi+storage card (with or without also using the HSPA module) doesn't cause your IP address to change, in which case you WONT be able to pick up the SSH session.
If swapping your WiFi/storage card changes your IP you won't be able to puck your SSH session.

I'm not inflating the situation. I'm making plain cases for why it would be a problem for me, depending on what they're really doing (the details about the SDIO and SD card capabilities haven't been made clear by them).
IMO your cases aren't very common in normal usage of the device, or there are workarounds to the described cases. I've never swapped the SD card of my NIT, and I don't think many users of the device we're talking about want to do this either.

So, in order for this to work, I have to use external storage, and/or do all of my real work on a remote machine? I mean, I do use SSH+VNC a bit, but that doesn't mean that I don't ever do things locally.
In order for this to work see the 3 solutions provided above and indeed consider to use external storage.

Have a nice day,
