You are going to have to get over the non removable battery and no SD slot unless you plan on only using Samsung devices from here on out. Google stopped supporting SD slots almost 3 years ago and most of the manufacturers have finally figured that out. Each persons needs are different and what works for you may not work for me but I hate to see people write off a device just for those two reasons especially when it's a device as great as the ONE. With 32gb internal storage I have no need for expandable memory. I've been off the charger for 16 hours with 3 hours of on screen time and I'm still at 35 percent battery.

I have 30 gbs of music on my SD card. So with what you are saying, I should get used to having to eliminate part of my music library because it won't fit on a phone with 32 gbs onboard memory? If I want to keep my full library I would then have to rely on a cloud to store my music ... which is exactly what Verizon $$$ and Google $$$ would like customers to do because somehow it involves them both making more money by way of cloud storage and/or data.
And as for the One battery, why is it Moto can come out with a battery that lets you actually use the phone (not on standby) all day on one charge and HTC continues to use the same size battery? It gets really old when people continue to defend HTC when HTC could do so much better.
