Too Bad.

I, for one, prefer plastic over metal due to battery accessibility that is available with many plastic devices. HTC failed in not making this version with battery removable option.

The nuclear reactors on board the Voyager space probes that were launched in the 19070s are still functional. It's possible, but I doubt that this phone uses a nuclear reactor to power itself.
