It actually depends on how u use the phone. Think the MMC as a removable drive (eg. usb disk) on your computer. If you have crucial data in it and u are using them (like running an application from it or moving data to or from it) then if you'll remove the drive you'll have some problems.

The same goes for the SX1. If you have installed apps in the MMC that run on the background,or when moving files or playing music or videos that are on it MMC removal is forbiden. I actually didn't have any problems exchanging MMC cards during the 7 months I have the phone...

there is small program called MEMORY in sx1 ,just open it and click on swap memory card , and you will be able to take mmc out without any problem.
