HTC Reorganizes U.S. Operations
It's A Shame
They should really listen to their long time supporters. They may not be in this position if they had.
Many complaints had been made by many toward the direction of eliminating removeable batteries. HTC claimed in order to meet the criteria of making the device slimmer in design, eliminating access to the battery allowed this to happen. However, when truth was told that Samsung was able to meet a slimmer design than the ONE and still retain access to the battery, HTC bluntly said that I and others are free to choose another company.

It is proven fact that a lot of people don't care about removable batteries. The best selling phone is still the iPhone.

The main reason, battery issues are one of the most frequent issues with phones. Having a non-removable battery means only that it will be hella expensive to have the phone fixed, more than likely you'll end up getting another phone.

Instead of having a removable battery phone, which, if a problem exists you can just buy the battery and replace it yourself, not only if it fails, you may do it if you don't find the current battery juicy enough and spare paying the manufacturer for replacing the battery, plus the new battery cost.
