Now that the battery is internal, I'm wondering if insurance (TEP, BB, Squaretrade) will cover the battery if it's capacity diminishes faster than normal. For example, if after 1 year the battery capacity seems to be only 50% from when it was new, will they replace?

I do know that BB will replace the phone with their insurance if the battery starts to go out.

It shouldn't matter that the battery isn't removable because it's a component of the phone.

Techs are able to remove it and test it so it's no different than a battery that can be removed simply by popping off a slid-able cover.
