I don’t understand why they are using a battery that cannot be removed and replaced!

My husband and I have the Motorola Droid Razr M and it’s 20 months old with a dying battery that can’t be removed and replaced. So we have 4 months left before we can replace them at a reasonable price and can’t keep the darn things charged. My husband’s co-worker also has the same phone and her battery gave up the ghost when she had 2 months left before her 2 year replacement date.

I will not purchase another phone with a non-removable battery unless forced to because they all are that way. Is the reason behind this to force people into buying new phones because the battery dies?
*rant over, sorry*

It’s probably because in their testing the battery lasts long enough for most people.

Disposable Razers, once it’s useful life is over they want you to buy another, then buy another one, then buy another one.

It's probably because "always on" phones can be "always traced." Removing the battery takes the phone truly off the grid.
