Verizon Making It Cheaper To Stay Or Go
Move the kit/inventory
Let's not forget that legacy technology Li-Ion batteries have limited shelf life, not to mention fairly long "quick" charge times. Therefore, it pays to move out all that inventory.
Does anyone see cell phone form factor nano-particle Li-Ion batteries on the horizon?
See the 36V DeWalt and the 28V Milwaukee power tools, for example. Do a google search for A123, and you might see some info on Motorola, Qualcomm, and others providing them funding.
I would not mind seeing a ramp-up of this new technology Li-Ion battery for safety and convenience. Supposedly, they are more shock resistant and charge much faster.

There was an article in Wireless Week mag last year or so about the state of batteries... It goes along the lines of the handset display screens. A lot of the manf(s) outsource them. That's why Moto (was it them?) had the recall of phones with explosive batteries... The outsourcing of that also explains the complaints people get that screen resolution(s) haven't gotten any better. Batt strength & high-res kind of go hand-in-hand. By outsourcing these things it's kept handset prices low. You increase the batt to new tech, you increase the price of the phone. Batteries are only designed to hold a charge for a year anyway. Why make a plutonium-based battery that will outlast the handset?
