Wireless Moot

Actually, I am hoping that they DO decide to build something like this, I like cheap Amazon.com battery replacements.

I refuse to purchase a new phone after the Bionic until they make one with a removable battery.

The sad part is I see less and less removable batteries coming down the line now, and that has always been a pet peeve of mine. When the battery starts to torch I like to be able to get a new one. But if you cant replace it easily they know you will just shoot for the upgrade. But then again Goog/Moto might be more user friendly when it comes to that fact and might just go back to the right way. Plus the razr is way to thin and almost feels awkward to hold

Never use a non OEM battery.

Agreed but lithium ion polymer is designed to last more than 3 years. So as long as non removable batteries last that long. It's fine.

I don't. They are genuine OEM batteries and generally cost between $3-$6. Aside from the price at VZW, OEM batteries for non-current model phones are dirt cheap. I only buy from sellers I trust, and if it doesn't seem kosher I demand my $$$ back.

2-3 years, actually. Assuming you treat your battery PERFECTLY. More realistically speaking, you'll generally see a decrease in capacity after about a year and a half. Plus, what if your device is locked up so badly that you cannot reset it with Volume+Power Down, and physically need to pull the battery? I had an iPhone that I couldn't soft-reset; I had to let the battery die to reboot the device.

What makes you say that? The old Moto has never been pushy with them, the new Moto certainly seems to be. Don't forget, the "new Moto" hasn't been in place very long. A company doesn't change overnight the minute they are acquired. To quote Mr. Soni, "it takes time to turn a big ship around". The very fact that the new Moto has a top level executive openly discussing updates on his Google+ page is a good sign, as far as I am concerned. The old Moto had their puppet boy, Matt, to discuss things in the forum. His main job was to delete posts with the word "root", "ROM", "leak", or "bootloader". Mr. Soni doesn't mind discussing these things at all. And not once has he jumped in and said "don't install leaks, leaks are bad, you are stealing from Moto OMG!!!!!!!" - if anything, he seems anxious to make us happy but hesitant to make any promises he can't personally stand behind. And he has stated that he is personally committed to getting ICS out to us, and will accept responsibility if deadlines are not met. When someone mentioned that Q4 could mean Dec. 31, he stated that Dec. 31 was NOT acceptable, and we'd have it way earlier than that. I honestly think he wants it BY Q4, but just is being realistic and allowing some leeway. He said one of his goals is REALISTIC release windows as opposed to empty promises.

Wow, all that in response to a spammer btw, the post that was being quoted was a copy and paste post from earlier in the thread

I prefer removable Batts. But I'm not saying no to a cool phone if it's non removable.

I suppose I could live with a RAZR MAXX if I had to, I understand you can get a couple of days with those between charges. Thus minimizing charge/discharge cycles. I am also wondering about these upcoming "phablets", those MUST have a better battery than a regular phone. In general, though, removable battery devices tend to be slightly thicker, which I actually like. This thin-n-light trend is not for me. The OG Droid was actually the last device I enjoyed holding without putting it into an Otterbox Defender first. The Bionic in an Otterbox is the perfect size for me, like a small brick *LOL*

Maybe it's this damn IE10 then, even in my post editor it showed the black pic icon. Of course, I will take this opportunity to mention that the post editor doesn't work in IE10 correctly at all. You cannot hit enter to get to a new line, enter does nothing. This is in both basic and advanced more, with compatibility mode enabled and not. Guess these are the caveats of being an early Win8 adopter. I got distracted while installing it and instead of putting it on a new partition, I ended up upgrading my Windows 7 install. So now i'm stuck *LOL* I know I could use Firefox, but thought i'd mention it for those IE10 users.

I use Firefox on my computer but the stock browser on my phone. No tapatalk?

I'm having to replace my moto extended bionic battery after only one year. Just doesn't hold a good charge anymore.
