unwanted device according to the masses using last year's hardware, I bet they're going to foolishly try to offer it for $199 with a two year contract when it comes to the states.

You are correct Jay, advancements have not made on the part of battery manufacturers. Device manufacturers have come a long way in compensating for the operational designs by cutting power consumption down. But, the overall principle to keep selling batteries, is the same as the oil companies needing to keep selling oil.

In short, batteries fail. Extending usage on a charge does cut down on the amount of in between charging. But, the goal of battery manufacturers, such as Panasonic for example, have much to gain by lobbying phone manufacturers to seal the batteries. Consumers pay almost three times as much to have the batter...
