> And all of the commenters complaining they would never buy this phone is great proof that the removable battery movement is DOA.

I had to reflect on that statement for a bit. I've always bought a new phone when there are battery problems or something else. BUT, that's because I can easily afford it.

There are plenty of people in this world who just can't go out and buy a new phone because one part wore out.

Or, to put it differently: I'd really like to replace the battery in my spare phone that I bring into my hot tub.
