Was the 16gb, a micro SD? Meaning, if you went to the trouble to open it, could you replace it with a 32gb micro SD?

Unnecessary tear down
wewake17 30th Jan
This tear down was totally unnecessary. when i started watching the video, i thought i would get more inside about the battery manufacturer and the board assembler details,. The details about Qualcomm 1.4GHz processor and Adreno Graphics is already mentioned and cracking open was useless to give this info.. We would wait for a Lumia 900 anyway because of its screen size and front facing camera ability and 4G LTE support.
