Arlen, me and others have told you, several times, that we have a card 
slot on our phones and never used it. It is not critical to us.

And no, you can not prove that our phones are way more expensive than a 
model with just 64 KB, simply because the manufacturer doesn't make it. 
And if he does, there are many more features in the phone, so that 
knowing the price difference between 64 and 256 GB is not possible.
