I thought the droid x came with a 16gb sd card rather than the 2gb sd card?

I believe that when they lowered the price that they switched to the smaller card.

Thats correct, this was changed within the last few months, there was a large post on the change but I cant seem to find the link.

 

Couldnt find Verizons post but here is the information at Phone Arena at http://www.phonearena.com/news/Motorola-DROID-X-not-only-gets-a-cut-in-price-but-also-a-cut-in-inter...

Wildman I  Know Verizon Probably had there reasons for doing this but i cant find a good reason maybee to lower cost in the X My Incredible Had a  2 GB card an i replaced it with a 8gig card from my BB an it worked with no issues. but with a phone that needs it's X-tra space 2 me 2 gigs is not enough.  but as Verizon is making vast changes on several fronts. All things are up in the air. I was even told they maid a change again with the insurace coverage on the phones with a different company.!   It's a head scracher for Sure. :smileyindifferent: Just makes wonder whats around the Next Corner. :smileyhappy:  :smileyvery-happy:

Well I had to buy the 32Gig because the 16 wasnt for me, I filled that baby regurlly, I actually have another 16Gig that I keep in my PC SD Card reader that I store software that I share with friends and co-workers also, boy I really go through data :smileyvery-happy:...  When I am servicing systems without web access are missing network drivers I usually download drivers to my Droid X and this was using to much space but its nice to have this option.. 

 

Now I am not sure what you mean about insurace coverage changed on the phones with a different company...  I know they change some policys lately but I cant think of which change you are speaking of on this.. :smileyindifferent:

I' ve been dealing with Asurion this week on replacing my daughter's OG and everything has been working out fine, so I don't know about the insurance.

Really only two plausible explanations for swapping the 2G card.  Cost is one, and in my opinion the likely explanation.

A 2 gig card is cheaper than a 16G.  The other is that 16 Gig cards are in short supply- but to me that's not a likely.

Can't think of any other reasons they'd switch.  I suppose they could really cheap out and not include a card at all.
