Internal battery and expansion card slots are two different things, having a non replaceable battery can actually make the build quality more solid and a thinner unit ( even if its just 1mm )
Ever wonder why your cheap nokia phone feels even cheaper when holding it compared to apple devices ? Or try to hold the N8 as well.

They dont because of a few reasons, Apple does not want several ports in their device.. Its a design choice by the company, having several ports adds thickness, weight and possible point of failure for the device.. also It could be a market choice for premium prices with high capacity.
32GB is a LOT of space if you fill it with content that you
legally own or have the rights/license to do so.
Bottom line is if you CANT afford the product or dont like how its design, dont buy it.. its THAT simple.
