Back in the day this was even better:
Original Galaxy S battery was getting weak? Order a new battery from Amazon for 13€. Battery arrives, pop the back of the phone off, pull battery out (just like that, no soldering), push new battery in. Push the back of the phone back on, done.
New battery in and it had more mAh than the original one. Despite overclocking that phone it ran a day longer after the replacement.
If the EU has its way we might all get this.
One can hope.
People can babble about water proofing, etc. There is no legitimate engineering problem.
The battery could power the device wirelessly at this point.
They could even claim they're saving the environment by not including the battery after a couple release cycles.
So my consumer preference for a sealed phone with a specific form factor simply doesn't matter I guess?
Do you mean your consumer preference as it is currently dictated by companies?
Not I mean my preferences which are dictated by my individual agency.
Yeah sorry, you and that one other guy isn't accounted for.
Tim.
Very well, either way more choice is more better.
