Nah, I never buy a spare battery anyway for those with removable batteries so I won't be bother by this.
Funny how people feel 'blessed' to get a consumer device. Weird.
I use my Treo at least 18 hours a day and always swap batteries.
Without this ability, I would be *** out.
$1,000 bucks say generation 2 (or 3) of iphone has replaceable battery.
Making negative comments regarding theoretical usage limitations - especially something as subjective as HYPOTHESIZED battery longevity is ridiculous.
5 generations of iPods and still no removable battery. Steve can be a stubborn guy. It took him over twenty years to sell a Mac with a multi-button mouse.$1,000 bucks say generation 2 (or 3) of iphone has replaceable battery.
Sorry, these are ACTUAL limitations, or are you going to spin the lack of a removable battery as a good thing.

Diva, I'll give you that, for sure - BUT - how many phones have you used for two+ years? That's really a valid point here - will the typical American consumer who can afford this device still be using it near it's end of life cycle? Based on the history of posts by users on this forum, the majority will not. For those who do, I'm sure the warranty will cover battery replacement. Figuring the device is not defective, most people won't complain too much if they get a year and a half out of the device and just have to send it in for a battery replacement - and that's assuming the thing is impossible to get into to begin with. Even the iPod battery is accessible if you have a strong stomach and are slightly careful (and make an effort to use appropriate tools). In my opinion, it's still much ado about nothing. Let's just see how this thing does before we start complaining - that's all I'm saying. There are more than a few of us willing to be the guinea pigs...
