Cool - then it's looking very likely (if it is going to be released) awesome!

Apple used to announce stuff at MacWorld but that all got binned off the other year so apart from WWDC you can't really work out when stuff will be announced like the fat nanos, etc

I can upgrade my useless 5800 anytime from June onwards, so I may well hold on for this and see what occurs.

Feek · 20-04-2010, 09:42

I take it back, Apple have officially asked for it back. I'm really surprised.

Yup, definitely seems legit. One too many beers consumed by an employee by the sound of things.

Still, it is just a prototype. The final version may be different, though probably not much different.

Considering that prototypes should be tested into the ground, to ensure that the production version can stand up to everything the general public can throw at it, it doesn't surprise me that it had a removable battery.

99.99% certainty that the production model won't, though

Why is a removable battery important? Not a flippant comment genuinely don't know the use of it.

leowyatt · 20-04-2010, 10:20

It's important because if you need to use your phone and it runs out of charge you can just swap it. With the iPhone you're stuffed until you find power which I know is an unlikely issue but I can see where people are coming from

It was actually pretty useful on my old phone. Not everyday. But if you went camping or on holliday. or even just a day out. You could just swap it out.

How many people actually make video calls. I don't know anyone who uses this feature(not even at work), yet all phone companys seem to be pushing it.

I used it once when I got my N73, after that never again.
