no battery pull?? wrong

**robocp4** · 11-02-2011, 09:53 PM

So a big thing with the RAZR was that you could not do a battery pull do to the back plate not being able to come off..... this is WRONG!!
I talked to a vzw rep today and they said that you can pull the battery its just a better door than the regular droids.
I thought you guys might want to know this. This is now a phone im thinking about getting.

Motorola says that the battery is not removable but you believe a Verizon rep instead? Would be nice though.

Yeah, not so sure about that one.

I think there will be a method of simulating a battery pull. Something like holding the home key and volume down while pressing the power button, or something like that.

Motorola will probably stick with power button + volume up and hold for 2-3 seconds. It works great on the Xoom. Never even had to consider waiting for the battery to die.

OP: Motorola has already confirmed this is a sealed battery. While I have no doubt you can remove it I'm sure it will take a couple screws....

I won't be surprised if he was getting confused with the Bionic (that battery cover is a pain in the gonads to pull off). The rep I spoke to a couple days ago kept getting confused and calling the Razr, the Bionic, giving me Bionic specs before catching and correcting himself on a few occasions.

Yeah, I'm sure Motorola just got confused on that detail in their little presentation. Good thing Johnny Verizonrep came along to clear that up.

LOL

Ladies and gentlemen! Mototola is officially the first mobile phone maker to create a removable non-removable battery phone! I'm sooooo excited, aren't you?! You heard it here first!

God I really hate VZW reps for talking out of their ***. It will not have a removeable battery. It is a gel battery like the iphone uses to save space.

**wowpaw** · 11-03-2011, 11:33 PM

Moral of the story here: never believe VZW reps.

It would be refreshing if people would stop trying to come conclusions by analyzing partial, unverified and incomplete data and simply waited until the phone hits the streets and some hands.

I'm also laughing at the blogs that are posting user ratings for unreleased phones.

I'll start to form opinions from the early press releases but I won't form any conclusions until I have something tangible to base them on.
