The [[Nokia N900|N900]] has a memory card expansion slot, which can be accessed by removing the back cover. It is next to the camera lens. This is not to be confused with the SIM slot, which is under the battery, because they are not dis-similar in size. In the device's standard configuration, it does not need to be turned off while inserting or removing a memory card. Using such a card will increase available storage which can be very useful when running other OSs, such as [http://nitdroid.com nitdroid]. | The [[Nokia N900|N900]] has a memory card expansion slot, which can be accessed by removing the back cover.
