The larger slot in the photos is actually the SIM card slot, which should give you a little better sense of scale. I personally am growing very weary of non-hot-swappable slots in devices. There really is no justification for that PITA. It's just one of many reasons I'll never give up my N800 for an N810. As the feature set and physical properties of the N900 becomes clearer, it becomes less and less likely that I'll ever get one of those, either. The upgrade from the N810 is incremental at best, and it looks like they've actually removed a couple of significant hardware features, just like they did going from the N800 to the N810. I realize that tradeoffs are necessary, but the problem is that they keep making exactly the wrong choices.
