if this phone takes a 32gb sd card like my nokia asha, it makes a mockery of the affordability of "smart phones" with "huge storage". and also battery life. and reading the article, it does, happy days.

was worried microsoft would do away with this line!

It does (see the specs).

But it has only 8MB RAM (that's MB, not GB).

Not to sound posh, but I miss the Maps feature.

I have a basic phone and the only reason I hold to my iPad at all times is the fear of being given an appointment at a place I can't find.

i think nokia maps is supposed to be pretty good for what it is.

Keep in mind, though, that Nokia still exists outside Microsoft and they still own the mapping business ("Here", as it's called now). So it's not a given that Microsoft's 'Nokia' phones will actually use Nokia maps.

The 208 has 64MB, 3.5G and costs about 50-60 euros.
