Well, yes. But only for the tech adept. The average user is screwed.

I wouldn't say the average user is screwed, they could contact Samsung to probably get their battery replaced by them, though it will probably take a few days. I'm sure once the phone is released and just a few short months later, local cell phone repair shops will have access to these batteries and be able to provide the service of replacing them. I know a few shops around here offer that kinda thing to iPhone users so I don't see why that service wouldn't be offered to Android users with non-removable batteries.

Because it's just one more thing that was once free that we now have to pay for.

You're just down-right determined to be grumpy about this aren't ya? lol I'm just messing with you. We don't know if the battery is replaceable or not yet. :biggrin:

Hopefully it will be. I'll never buy another phone without a removable battery.

If you like flashing roms, or even just root and do some tweaking, a removable battery is a must.
