I've never swapped a battery on my phone and only ever took it out to put sum card in. However I can understand or some people it could be useful. I like the fact it's neat and there's no battery access - it's neater.

it,s useful but only if the phone comes supplied with a 2nd battery and separate charger like my LG did. It certainly isn't a attribute I look for though or would clench a deal with.

I do like the fact that the phone doesn't explode when you drop it like a lot of other phones do. Also a good thing as it asks to be connected to itunes 99% of the time when switched of and wont let you do anything until it has been.

I connect it to iTunes (hate that software ) if I want to update play list or synch outlook. Other than that I have a dock by my bed and a charger in my car so it's all tickety boo!

I have the next best thing - a small device you charge with the standard cable that you can attach when your battery runs out. You can either use the phone with it attached or just leave it plugged in for half an hour to charge the phone back up. Seems to give about a 60% charge on average.

Looking forward to the new iPhone. Will almost certainly upgrade.

I would prefer to have a removable battery primarily because if the battery dies when the phone is out of warranty I'd rather pay £20 for a replacement battery than £70 for Apple to fit one.

if it's out of warranty surly it is easy to unscrew the case and change the battery anyway.
