I respectfully disagree, the light sensor allowed me to get rid of the brightness adjustment in my status bar because I never need to use it anymore. The sensor placement isn't optimal as I do sometimes cover it inadvertently but I really do appreciate the sensor.

Here is small update...
- internal slot is indeed eMMC
So the "internal slot" is going to be not a "slot" at all? This sounds like the RX-51 will have the same configuration as the N810... So that very likely means no full size SD card slot either, only a mini or a micro.
Hey, SDHC cards are not dead, you know! Most of the current generation HD camcorders are using them, so I see a few more years of these cards being available...

It matters a lot less, though, because I suspect the built-in card will be in the ballpark of 32GB.

Any storage card that is so small it can't be removed easily with your fingers isn't practical. The microSD in my phone can't be removed without a pair of tweezers. I'd rather have a device a little larger to be able to use a card that's handlable.
