Probably not, but I chose to use the external card as an extension to
the internal memory. I'll never want to take it out to use for any
other purpose (cards are cheap now) and I copy stuff to my computer via
wifi/ftp. I use clickfree (available only through 1 Mobile Market, not
google play) to back whatever it regards as the whole thing up to
dropbox and hope for the best.

No, it's still internal memory -- there's just a more direct connection
to the external card. I guess. I got tired of the "not enough room"
messages from google play with my previous phone, so chose to extend the
internal memory. Stupid people who insist on not allowing you to choose
where to install stuff.

You can get the developer options opened by doing something weird (tap
something 9 times or something similar), at least on the two phones I've
done it with. Google will probably find instructions.
