windows phone is a year old platform and these restrictions are well known. microsoft is following the Apple's route of managing their platform unlike the route offered by Symbian and Android. another well known fact. it's just that WP devices are not much popular here in India so fewer people know about the limitations.
why external memory card support not available.
It is due to the way WP7 works. It doesn't treat the external card as a separate entity, instead it merges it with its main onboard memory. Problems - everytime one inserts or removes a card, the phone has to be hard reset. A pain from the user's point of view. Second, there have been numerous compatibility issues with the class of SD card, as to be treated on par with onboard memory, it needs to meet certain speed criteria for optimal OS performance.
Another reason why this doesn't make much sense is because WP7 isn't designed to read from SD cards as is. So even if you copy media or docs or anything else to the card, it will just not be able to read from it. Makes the whole point of having an extendable memory redundant.
Also why Zune is needed to sync contents with PC...
Standardisation is the word here. Don't put stuff which isn't compatible. Will prevent failures.
