Expandable Memory?

roelandb

dual sim would not be an interesting addition for me, a memory card slot on the other hand would be very much appreciated, but not really nessecary if the m8 has 16GB, a mass-storage mode and a standard usb connector.

I have been asking myself the following question:
will the m8 recharge when transferring data over the usb port?

I think JW said it would charge from USB.

roelandb

thats a very nice feature, becouse i used to have a sony psp, and i always asked myself why it could not charge itself by usb, so i like the charging via usb a lot.
I think it would be a good idea to ship the m8 with a fast-charger, like the m6 had, beouse charging via usb took a lot longer...

this is interesting, how hours m8 battery can play music?

I don't know if the battery is even finalized yet.

roelandb

i'm hoping for at least 20 hours of music playback, and 6 hours of movie playback, but i think i might be over-estimating the battery life, since the b-frames will have to be software-decoded, it will probably be only 4 hours of video...
But only the future will tell, i'm sure when its released outside china there will be extensive reviews available already anyways...

And plus the cell tower has to be constantly pinged.

Technique unreel, I think that, battery can be a "better".

nice2know_u

It could be a higher capacity one, but that would probably make the M8 thicker. I'm sure they will sell battery replacements...

roelandb

i dont really care, since i currently use nokia n82, wich is quite thick, i prefer to have a higher battery capacity than having to take several batteries with me when i go out.
