Yeah.....you're a moron. The reason they have non removable batteries is to MAKE it thinner. And ummm idiot, idk if you noticed but all google tablets like the nexus 7 and the transformer prime infinity ( which I happen to be using currently) all have ports for the micro sd. It's portable removeable storage, the ability to transfer data from phone to tablet to pc without having to buy, build or download a tether of any kind isn't going anywhere. And since you're really thick skulled here's some info, the reason they build phones with non removable batteries is so that when the battery goes you can't just buy a new battery of amazon for 3 bucks. You need to replace the phone, and if you dont have their insurance which they slam down your throat into your lower intestine, then you either buy a new phone or jump through hoops to get them to admit it was a manufacturer defect. Witch is still good for them since the inventory counts as another phone sold and the manufacturer foots the bill. But you go ahead and keep living in fantasy land where no one likes to keep their data and Verizon doesn't charge you over a thousand dollars a year for crappy service.
