My friend has had his phone for 1.5 months, and I got mine just over a week. and both of us are thinking about uprading the battery - all depends on how you use it.

What are you doing to it, using it as a football??? Normal use would not need you to change the battery at all, never mind after 1.5 months!

The main point is we easily can, without having a usb external charging device dangling off it.

Bit of a weird way of thinking though dont you think? No need fort this at all but go for this over another just because the option is there (even i never use it??)

It would be a mere novelty - something just for fun, something pointless - for me. I can't imagine any use I personally would have for a memory card slot on a phone with 64gb of storage.

I agree, 64gb is massive for a phone. In fact if you fill it up with music then 64gb is ridiculous. I never had the time or inclination to load up 64gb worth of music on my ipod, instead choosing to put on everything i want and not filling up anywhere near. Again, its a case of filling it up with music you dont listen to 'just in case'

Yeah, thats right, if you criticise an apple product, or simply prefer another product over an apple product, "you a hater"!!!!:undecided:undecided:undecided

I have no problem with difference of opinion, but people would rather slag off the opposition to their preference rather than just big up their choice. it makes the argument uninformative. if people just said "buy this, it's great as it does this and this etc..." it would help the original poster more.

Not simple. The only way to remove Sense is to use a custom ROM. And I'd not want to use a custom ROM on a newly released phone.

I have had a new phone every 18 months for the past 10 years or so. Never once have I needed to change or replace a battery. As if this is a selling point?

My son goes fishing on a weekend and goes through two batteries. No place to charge the phone so not being able to change a battery is a deal breaker for him.

Solar powered charger? I'm sure they come with a usb adapter for whichever smartphone you go for

Some prefer Fords, some prefer Vauxhalls. It's up to you and only you can decide. Play with each of them and see what works for you

This is a reason for a replacement battery but generally, it is not something people need.

It may be ridiculous to you, but to me (and many serious music fans) it is a godsend. When I am in the house, I have 600+CDs to choose from to listen to. Why would I not want the same choice when travelling? When I am on a two week business trip or holiday, why would I not want to be able to access as much of my media as I do when at home?

Another advantage of being able to carry my entire collection around with me is that it has changed the way I listen to music. When out and about, I tend to listen to a random mix of tracks and invariably hear something I'd forgotten about or might not have chosen to listen to and can playlist the album for later 'serious' listening at home.

Even then, 64GB only allows compressed versions of my CDs. My ideal mobile device would have 0.5-1TB so I could listen to uncompressed music when out and about. A hard limit of 64GB is unacceptable to me.

Of course that is just my opinion, who said otherwise? I made the comment therefore it is my opinion.

Being a DJ and producer for over 10 years, I have many thousands of tracks stored all over the place and on my macbooks however personally I have never had the inclination to load thousands upon thousands of tracks onto any music player. Maybe it is just me (in the same way I also have no intention of renaming and tagging the numerous downloaded albums over the years that have been labelled with track 01, track 02 etc.)
