If you use a nanosim, you either have to put it in SIM2 and give up using an SD card, or hope your carrier will activeate the nanosim on the IMEI for SIM1 (should you buy an adapter to make it fit). ... Should you want to use it as a dual SIM phone, you cannot use an SD card. ... Suggestion: I know there is much crammed into the phone, but being able to have dual sims AND an SD card at the same time would be rather nice, especially for those who travel internationally.  ...  "
