After everything that's been said here, that's your position? You're not
one of those guys who, after someone finishes speaking, makes them feel like
you weren't listening to anything they said, are you?

The advantage for you here is that you had the chance to go back and re-read
everything, but you blew the opportunity to even pretend to be a good
listener.

All of my phones had replaceable batteries, including my current BB Curve.
None of them were "structurally weak" or "unreliable". I'll beg to differ,
replaceable batteries are still needed in today's world. I hate to go around
full circle and repeat what's been said here a few times, but it depends on
your personal usage need.
